A citrusy fragrance, a sun-drenched orangery, Provence as the backdrop… With Un Matin à l’Orangerie, Maison Rose et Marius has created a luminous fragrance that captures the essence of a summer morning in the South of France.
Inspired by the memories of Magali Fleurquin Bonnard, founder of Rose et Marius, this fragrance takes us into a world where freshly picked citrus fruits meet orange blossom, Mediterranean foliage and the softness of white musks.
A sunny, fresh and elegant fragrance that also offers excellent longevity on the skin. The ideal choice for those looking for a true citrus summer fragrance that is both fresh and sophisticated.
And because a fragrance can also be an invitation to travel, today we are taking you on a journey to discover its story, its olfactory world and a few must-visit addresses in Aix-en-Provence to extend the experience over a refreshing glass of lemonade.
Un Matin à l’Orangerie: The Story of a Fragrance Inspired by Magali’s Memories
Behind every Rose et Marius creation lies a story. Un Matin à l’Orangerie is no exception.
To imagine this fragrance, Magali drew inspiration from a memory deeply connected to her childhood and to Provence: that of an orangery.
She imagines this place as a true haven of light, where citrus trees are protected from the winter cold in large terracotta pots. Orange trees, lemon trees and mandarin trees mingle with natural light, lush green foliage and that unmistakable scent of citrus and flowers.
This is the feeling Magali wanted to recreate in her fragrance: the memory of a morning in an orangery, when the doors are opened and the air fills with freshness, light and Mediterranean scents.
Un Matin à l’Orangerie is therefore much more than a citrus fragrance. It is a story of Provence, a childhood memory transformed into an olfactory creation.
Orangeries: A True Source of Provençal Inspiration
The orangery holds a special place in the Mediterranean imagination.
Originally, these buildings were designed to protect citrus trees from the cold during winter. Large, bright rooms with glass windows, where orange, lemon and mandarin trees were placed in beautiful terracotta pots.
But an orangery is also an atmosphere.
There is the warmth of the sun, the scent of crushed leaves, freshly picked citrus fruits, orange blossom and that feeling of nature sheltered and protected.
This is precisely the atmosphere Rose et Marius wanted to capture in a bottle.
And from the very first spray, the journey begins.
A Luminous and Elegant Citrus Fragrance
Un Matin à l’Orangerie belongs to the citrus fragrance family, with an especially fresh and sparkling opening.
The top notes include bergamot, clementine, Corsican mandarin, orange and yuzu. A true explosion of citrus that immediately evokes summer mornings in Provence.
The heart then reveals more floral and spicy notes, with orange blossom, jasmine, blackcurrant and ginger.
Finally, the fragrance develops into a softer, more enveloping base featuring white musks and benzoin.
The result is beautifully balanced: fresh and luminous at first, floral at the heart, then warmer and more enveloping on the skin.

Why Un Matin à l’Orangerie Is the Perfect Summer Fragrance
When temperatures rise, we often look for a fragrance that is fresh, luminous and easy to wear.
But fresh does not necessarily mean fleeting.
This is precisely what sets Un Matin à l’Orangerie apart. Its freshness remains throughout the day thanks to an olfactory structure that gives it excellent longevity on the skin.
Maison Rose et Marius worked on the fragrance for two years in order to find the perfect balance between freshness and lasting power. The eau de parfum has a 20% concentration, while the white musks help extend its trail.
It is just as easy to imagine wearing it after a morning shower as before lunch on a terrace, a stroll through the streets of Aix or a summer dinner.
It is a citrus summer fragrance, but not only that. Its floral dimension and musky base give it enough presence to accompany you throughout the day.
Un Matin à l’Orangerie is luminous without being light, fresh without being fleeting, and elegant without ever feeling overly sophisticated.
A Fragrance Available in 100 ml, 30 ml and 10 ml
Another advantage of the collection: Un Matin à l’Orangerie comes in three sizes, designed to accompany every moment of summer.
The 100 ml Fragrance: Your Everyday Ritual
The 100 ml is the generous full-size bottle to keep at home and fully incorporate into your fragrance routine.
After a shower, before heading out or simply to start the day with a burst of citrus, it is the perfect size for enjoying your favourite fragrance generously.
The 30 ml Fragrance: The Perfect Travel Companion
The 30 ml is perfect for holidays and weekend getaways.
It slips easily into a suitcase or handbag, allowing you to take your favourite summer fragrance with you without taking up too much space.
A particularly practical size for a getaway in Provence, along the French Riviera or a few days in the sunshine.
The 10 ml Fragrance: A Fragrance to Take Anywhere
And then there is the 10 ml, the one you always want to have in your bag.
A few sprays are all it takes to refresh the fragrance throughout the day and instantly rediscover that feeling of citrus and sunshine.
100 ml at home, 30 ml when travelling, 10 ml in your bag: three sizes to make Un Matin à l’Orangerie the fragrance of your entire summer.
New: Un Matin à l’Orangerie Body Lotion
To extend the fragrance even further on the skin, Rose et Marius has also unveiled a new product: Un Matin à l’Orangerie Hand & Body Lotion.
A scented body lotion that allows you to rediscover the fragrance’s olfactory universe while caring for your skin.
The ideal ritual begins after a shower: apply the body lotion to slightly damp skin, then spray a few touches of the eau de parfum.
This combination allows you to layer the scents and extend the fragrance trail.
The skin feels soft, moisturised and delicately scented.
A simple gesture that transforms your beauty routine into a truly sensory ritual.
And with its large refillable format, the body lotion naturally fits into a more sustainable everyday routine.
What Sets Un Matin à l’Orangerie Apart from Other Citrus Fragrances?
Citrus fragrances are generally known for their remarkable freshness… but also for being more volatile. The citrus notes that make up the opening of Un Matin à l’Orangerie create a sparkling, luminous burst, but naturally tend to fade more quickly.
Here, the white musks play an essential role: present in the base, they support the fresh top and heart notes while adding a soft, enveloping and long-lasting quality.
It is this olfactory construction that allows Un Matin à l’Orangerie to retain its freshness and elegance on the skin throughout the day, with remarkable longevity despite its citrus profile.
Un Matin à l’Orangerie: A Fragrant Escape in Aix-en-Provence
It is difficult to talk about a fragrance inspired by citrus, Provence and summer mornings without thinking of Aix-en-Provence.
The city has a special kind of light that seems made for Un Matin à l’Orangerie: golden façades, fountains, shady squares, terraces and plane trees.
And after a few sprays of the fragrance, there is only one thing missing to complete this summer escape: a wonderfully refreshing glass of lemonade.
Here are three addresses to discover in Aix.
Jörgï: Lemonade in the Shade of the Plane Trees
At Jörgï, we particularly love the little terrace shaded by plane trees.
When the Aix-en-Provence sunshine begins to heat up, this is exactly the kind of place where you want to settle in: a table in the shade, an ice-cold lemonade and a few minutes simply to enjoy the moment.
A relaxed atmosphere that perfectly reflects the spirit of Un Matin à l’Orangerie.
Here, you take your time. You breathe. You enjoy summer.
AROM: A Mediterranean World in the Heart of Aix
To continue this Mediterranean escape, head to AROM.
The address appeals with its Mediterranean-inspired world, which beautifully echoes the fragrance’s sun-drenched spirit.
You will find that same desire for freshness, sharing and generous cuisine that pairs so perfectly with a summer day in Aix-en-Provence.
A refreshing lemonade, a terrace and a few citrus notes lingering on your skin: it is hard to imagine anything more Provençal.
DIP: Lemonade with a Delicious Brunch
Finally, DIP is the perfect address for anyone looking to turn a refreshing break into a truly indulgent morning.
Start with a refreshing lemonade, then linger over a delicious brunch.
The atmosphere is relaxed, generous and convivial: exactly what you want to make the most of a summer morning in Aix.
The perfect plan?
Un Matin à l’Orangerie on your skin, an ice-cold lemonade and a delicious brunch.
A Fragrance That Captures a Summer Morning in Provence
Ultimately, Un Matin à l’Orangerie lives up perfectly to its name.
All you have to do is close your eyes and imagine an old orangery bathed in light, citrus foliage, terracotta pots, orange blossom and that unique freshness of the early hours of the day.
This is the true strength of the story created by Magali Fleurquin Bonnard: transforming an intimate memory into a fragrance in which everyone can project their own memories.
And perhaps that is why this fragrance works so beautifully in summer.
Because it does not simply smell of citrus.
It smells of Provence. Light. Holidays. Mornings when there is nowhere you need to rush to.
So, this summer, why not start your day with a few sprays of Un Matin à l’Orangerie, layer it with the body lotion, slip the 10 ml format into your bag and wander through the streets of Aix-en-Provence?
And when the heat begins to rise, take a break at Jörgï, AROM or DIP, with a wonderfully refreshing lemonade.
Because sometimes a fragrance can be so much more than a fragrance: it can be a destination.
