The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by M. Micallef, Petit Coeur is a creation by Jean-Claude Astier that marries the freshness of citrus with aromatic and green notes to evoke a sense of crispness and vitality. The fragrance opens with bright, zesty accords that cut through the air like a fresh breeze, leading into a heart of aromatic and green tones that add depth without heaviness. This composition is designed to feel light yet engaging, making it perfect for those who appreciate a subtle freshness throughout their day.
Petit Coeur's bright opening notes are best experienced close to skin; apply lightly to pulse points. The fragrance evolves subtly over time, so it’s ideal for daytime wear where its freshness can shine without overpowering.
