I'm nuts about my sample of Matin d'Orage (and probably headed for a full bottle). When I put it on, suddenly, I'm on the west coast of Africa during the rainy season, the morning after thunderstorms; it's clearing, but still very humid. The funny thing is I don't think it smelled like that at all, but somehow Md'O recreates that feeling. Thanks also for your beautiful review of that scent. --nozknozAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
