The story behind the bottle.
Francis Kurkdjian crafted Monsieur Eau du Matin for Jean Paul Gaultier in 2008, a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of a fresh morning. The composition opens with bright citruses and bergamot, creating an invigorating freshness that transitions into a heart of petitgrain and spices, adding warmth and depth. The base notes of cedar and guaiac wood lend a grounding quality, making it feel like stepping outside to breathe in the crisp air after a night's rest.
Apply two sprays to your wrists and neck in the morning for optimal wear. The citruses and bergamot will shine brightest in the first hour before giving way to the woody base notes that carry it through the day.
