The year 2018 gave us Matin d'Été Choix. This is a unisex fragrance rooted in the wood, fruit, and water families. Perfumer Luca Gritti left a distinct mark on this composition. The fragrance is presented as perfume extract.
It has a very delicate sillage, staying close and personal. The longevity is very low — a light cloud that fades quickly. Brand country — Italy: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Matin d'Été Choix — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance has very low longevity and lasts only about 1 hour on the skin, leaving only a light, barely perceptible trail
The scent exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Matin d'Été unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Choix is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Aquatic, Whiteflower and Fruit. The framework further includes Gourmet, Musk, Ambery and Sweet.
In the first seconds you sense sparkling citrus first notes: Bergamot, Marine accord and Orange.
When the opening settles you notice Lily of the Valley, Passion fruit, Vanilla and musk holding a creamy tuberose direction.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Amber, Spicy and Marine enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence Very low suggests confident staying power.
Taken together Matin d'Été reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.
