It is often said that when Mother Nature is upset, she shows its temper though bringing on a storm. Its cries of anger are heard through the violent commotion of thunder, and the raindrops are its tears. The green breath of humidity that follows after is unmatched; it serves as a reminder of just how beautiful and rich the scent of the world surrounds us.

Composed in 2009 by Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen, Goutal Paris Un Matin d’Orage is a marriage of sensual magnolia and lush gardenia, surrounded by aromatic lemon trees and solar tuberose. Its rich aroma is so delicate and powerful at once; it feels like bathing in the golden rays of morning sunshine, caressing one’s skin with all its warmth. Inspired by a Japanese garden after a thunderstorm, Un Matin d’Orage is a fragrance that encompasses all the abundant aromas of lush flora after the storm. It’s as if a garden was awakening from a restless sleep, and all its flowers exhaled their beauty into the air at once. An avid nature lover, Annick Goutal held a particular fascination for white flowers… Goutal Paris Un Matin d’Orage represents not one but a whole bouquet of white florals in one glorious fragrance, described by Camille as a celebration of the things Annick adored. They delighted her with their joyous scents and their delicate milky white petals. Un Matin d’Orage is a soothing naturalist canvas; each flower plays a role of a pastel shade of pink, soft yellow, teal green, and ivory. A colorful symphony played by Mother Nature herself after an exhilarating night of battle, the morning is full of stillness that arrives after the storm has passed.

As the air becomes gradually warmer, the damp smell of rain-soaked earth mingles with the leaves’ crisp, vegetal aroma. Tropical nuances of champaca are spiced up by deep sensual myrrh that grounds the whole fragrance. The composition rests on creamy guaiac wood that serves as its centering and grounding base. Inhaling Un Matin d’Orage feels like witnessing a moment that isn’t meant for anyone to see. I picture nature as a beautiful woman, stepping out of the river after a morning swim, her hair is damp, and the water drops on her skin are glistering in the sun. You feel as if you are invading Mother Nature’s privacy by witnessing this candid moment, greedily inhaling its sweet scent. It will be gone soon, and all you have left is a memory. Perhaps it was just a fantasy after all.
