Morning has broken
The very early morning, shortly after sunrise, when everything is still so virginal and dreamy, has a very special charm.
The first, still slightly sleepy tender light, the slowly awakening nature: flowers and herbs breathe out the spicy scent of the night and begin to stretch out towards the light and warmth.
Fine taupers cover this early magic of the day like a filigree veil, glittering like a thousand little precious stones.

Many perfumers have tried (and will continue to try) to capture this mood:
citric, green and flowery, freshly awakened and hopeful.
So did Francis Kurkdjian with his "Cologne pour le Matin".

Now I have a special liking for this brand and perhaps that is why I approach the individual fragrances with a more open mind.
At "Cologne pour le Matin" my anticipation was rewarded in the most pleasant way!

This morning enchants me: it is not only citric-fresh through lemon and bergamot, which is actually to be expected.
No! The wonderfully strong spice of thyme and lavender mix lively and brightly.
Apparently not only flowers and leaves are used here, but also the woody parts of these plants.
Both can grow into quite gnarled shrubs and this wood spice, which generously spends its own aroma in the early morning, contains a special and also lasting magic So I am not only surrounded by the delightful scent of light, noble citrus fruits, but also by an original spice that enhances my well-being and awakens joy and curiosity for the next hours, for the day The charming neroli oil was laid as a fine net over this web of scent and can develop its positive effect on heart and soul on this fresh and spicy basis Even the greyest morning starts smiling now.

A living fragrance for a successful start to the day I meet here.
As beautiful and exhilarating as the view through an open window into the just awakening nature, where every moment, every breath becomes a sensual pleasure.
Of course, "Cologne pour le Matin" also only has the durability that one would expect from such a fragrance. But when a magical morning is followed by a glorious day, what prevents us from changing our scent - with the awakened aromas of the daytime?
The morning MSK offers here is flattering and friendly like the old, so well known song by Cat Stevens:
"Morning has broken like the first morning.
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning.
Praise for them springing fresh from the world."

So let us celebrate the first hours of a day: "Cologne pour le Matin" will certainly be happy to help! Good morning, my dears!

Play Dough!...
This one is a puzzler. Cologne pour le Matin opens with probably the best pure lemon note I have smelled in a scent to date. Very natural and well-executed. Things were off to a stunning start and I was almost ready to buy a bottle on the spot... Then the unthinkable happened, the lemon started to get somewhat yeast-like after a couple minutes and then creamy, reminding me of lemon mixed with... (wait for it...) Play-Dough! I am all for reliving my childhood days in my scents, but that is just too strange and not a memory I would want to smell like for the day. My guess is it has to be the musk that is causing the Play-Dough accord, but whatever it is I don't like it much. Pretty much that is all I get as the scent is pretty linear. Longevity of Cologne pour le Matin is below average to average, with average projection.

I really am somewhat disappointed with Cologne pour le Matin. It starts off so strong, only to blow it big time. All in all not a bad smelling scent, but FK can do so much better and so can the buyer... 3 out of 5 stars for this above average scent overall, but it's a poor value and not recommended except for die-hard MFK fans who should see if they understand it better.
