Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Petit Matin EDP
“That specific early-morning feeling when everything still feels possible.”
Francis Kurkdjian's 2016 launch for Maison Francis Kurkdjian — the slightly denser, more lavender-leaning cousin to Aqua Universalis in MFK's clean-citrus tier. A citrus-musky-aromatic unisex composition with Italian lemon, orange blossom, musk, lavender, ambroxan, and hawthorn. Performs strongest in spring and summer, daytime, 6-7 hours with moderate projection.
