I’m surprised to see so few reviews of this gorgeous scent. I bought this at Annick Goutal on a trip to Paris. The staff at the tiny store near place Vendome were so helpful my review includes a recommendation to shop for your Annick Goutal in Paris if you ever find yourself there.
This scent is an unusual floral. It’s green and watery and grassy on top of a beautiful white floral bouquet. The description of a garden after a storm is spot-on. Unlike a prior reviewer, I do get a very slight vanilla smell, but it’s not sweet or cloying, and it integrates very well with the wet flowers.
I find it to be both a daytime and a night time scent. The ladies at Annick Goutal gave me a “nuit” sample for the evening but I’ve just been reapplying my Matin d’Orage if I’m going out in the evening. The women also suggested a light mist on each arm, and then a spritz on my scarf, so that the fragrance is released when by scarf wafts about. Could this be a more French approach?
I’d say I either go nose blind to this by midday or it wears away, but the scarf tip is a good one, because I find myself intentionally moving my scarf to get another lucious hit.

ricevuto questo campione durante un altro acquisto.
Apprezzo alcuni dei profumi di questa casa che trovo molto liberi e sinceri.
Ma, odio i fiori bianchi.qui regnano solo quelli.
un pochino scaldati dalla mirra.e un po di legno guajc all’apertura.
La tuberosa e’forte e verde ma non troppo dolce e la magnolia e’ ‘rilassante e romantica ma svanisce presto.
Buono il drydown.
Non per la mia donna ma perfetto da sotterrare in giardino con la luna calante.
Sorry.

I was able to compare both the EDT and the latest EDP of Un Matin d’Orage side by side. These two concentrations are pretty similar in the opening: creamy dewy gardenia. The EDP feels a bit more intense and sweeter, but only slightly.
The major difference is in the drydown. The gardenia in the EDT gradually mellows into a soapy green ambiance, while in the EDP, it insteand becomes more luscious. The gardenia note in the EDP is still pretty similar to that in the EDT, but the tuberose nuance is also more detectable. Although I can’t really discern amber, myrrh and vanilla, but they certainly add more heft to the gardenia. I would say the EDP is one step closer to those big florals from the same house, such as Songes and Passion, than the EDT.
On me, the gardenia in EDT gets lost in the green elements after about 4 to 5 hours, but in EDP it’s more present even after 7 hours and the total longevity is almost 12 hours. The sillage of EDP is also moderate to heavy, espacially during the first 2 hours.
Personally, I still find the EDT suits best ‘a stormy morning’ with its brilliant dewy green elements accompanying the creamy gardenia, but its performance and the elusive gardenia do leave me desiring something more. If you happen to have similar feeling towards the EDT, you may want to try the lastest EDP version of Un Matin d’Orage.

It was an extremely hot day for the beginning of May, but when I left work the sky was heavy with rain clouds and the air was filled with electricity. I stopped at a mall on the way home and decided to test some Annick Goutal’s perfumes. I never liked her perfumes really. At the same time I was not indifferent, they seemed to attract my attention with their peculiarity.
And then I smelled Un Matin D’Orage on a day like this! When I left the mall, the rain has already stopped. What can I say…? It was a perfection – the perfume and that day complemented each other.
I find this perfume to be extremely sentimental, a flawless recreation of beautiful moment in nature. Un Matin D’Orage is exactly that – the smell of garden after rain. The plants and flowers, the earth, ozone… I can feel jasmine, osmanthus (?) and somewhere on the background that glorious earthy-mushroomy scent of soil after rain. For some reason I would use words like voluptuous and creamy to describe it. It is divine! Sheer essence of warm rainy day in a bottle!
Another stereotype broken! See, I thought I don’t like Annick Goutal’s perfumes, I also though I’m not a fan of white flowers. Hilarious!
