Petit Matin by Maison Francis Kurkdjian was launched in 2016 as a fresh and aromatic green fragrance for both women and men. The nose behind this scent is none other than the house's founder, Francis Kurkdjian. Petit Matin opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord, featuring bergamot and lavender, which creates an invigorating and uplifting atmosphere. As it develops, the composition reveals a heart of white florals that adds a subtle sweetness and freshness, before settling into a warm musky base with notes of amber and sweet accords.
Composition & Character
How It Wears
Application Tips
Petit Matin is best applied in light layers — one or two sprays to start. The citrus opening is vibrant but fleeting, so reapply when you want to refresh that initial burst of freshness. It's designed for daytime wear, where its bright and uplifting character shines the most.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
