Launched in 2020, Soleil Matin by Navitus Parfums is crafted by the renowned perfumers Francis Kurkdjian and Jérôme di Marino. This unisex fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of citrus notes — lemon, Italian mandarin, lime, orange, and grapefruit — that evoke the freshness of a sun-drenched morning. As these top notes fade, they give way to a warm and spicy heart of Madagascar pepper and jasmine, creating an intriguing tension between brightness and warmth. The base notes of Atlas cedar, musk, ambroxan, and sandalwood provide a woody, powdery comfort that grounds the composition.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points for a bright opening that gradually reveals its warmer base notes. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as the citrus top notes can feel too lively for evening.

“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.
