  It’s a gorgeous, very spring-like perfume where many of the listed notes shine through: the apple, jasmine, and musk stand out most, but you can also detect the powdery touch of the rose, the sweetness of ylang-ylang, the crispness of the freesia, and the juiciness of the peach. The woody note probably adds fixative qualities to the composition, though it’s barely perceptible on its own. I love the fragrance as much as I love the bottles from this house, and it has been a wonderful addition to my collection.

  A cheerful, skipping fruit salt. Joyful, vibrant citrus with red apple and roses. One of those fresh fruity perfumes that always works well and brings a smile to your face. Very spring and summer, yet it works in any season. There’s a thread where the rose joins the fruit that lingers and remains, leaving a very rich and broad scent. It can remind you of the joyful oxygen provided by Marc Jacobs’ Daisy, which is also an all-rounder designed for all kinds of noses because it means smiling, kindness, and universal calm.

  A cheerful, skipping fruity salt. Joyful, citrusy, and rosy with apple and rose. One of those fresh fruity perfumes that always fits well and brings a smile to your face. Very spring and summer-appropriate, yet it works in any season. There’s a thread where the rose and fruit come together, lasting and maintaining a rich, broad scent. It can remind you of the joyful oxygen provided by Marc Jacobs’ Daisy, as this is also an all-rounder designed for all kinds of noses because it means smiling, kindness, and universal calm.

  Oh, what a beauty. I had no expectations, but I’m trying all of Maison Matine’s perfumes and the truth is, more than one has turned out wonderfully. That said, with Arashi, there was no instant love at first. I applied it to my inner arm and went to work, forgetting I was wearing it. At first, it felt strange; I couldn’t quite place it well and left it be. And what a good thing I did. Like a dish that tastes better the next day as time passes, waves of something so happy and crisp began to emerge… I was in a good mood straight away. Arashi is a deceptive scent that shifts into an arty, carefree perfume, simply optimistic and feeling frizzy and salty without necessarily being so. Luminous and pleasant, what more could you ask for?

  Oh, what a beauty. I had no expectations, but I’m trying all of Maison Matine’s scents, and the truth is, more than one has fallen on the good side. That said, with Arashi, there was no instant love at first. I applied it to my inner arm and went to work, forgetting I was wearing it. At first, it felt strange; I couldn’t quite place it, so I left it be. And what a good thing I did. Like a dish that tastes better the next day as time passes, waves of something so happy and crisp came over me, and I was in a good mood straight away. Arashi is a deceptive aroma that turns into an arty, carefree fragrance, simply optimistic and feeling fizzy and salty without necessarily being so. Luminous and pleasant—what more could you ask for?

  To be honest, I’m not an expert on perfumes and almost all of them give me a headache. As soon as I put this on, I was immediately reminded of Carolina Herrera’s 212 for Her that I wore back in 2013, so I’m not sure if I like it for what it is or because it feels so familiar. I’d describe it as a clean, fresh-floral scent, which I think is accurate. I don’t know if it’s the floral notes that might give me a headache if worn daily, but if you’re not delicate with fragrances, I’d recommend it. Also, Maison Matine has a modern vision regarding environmental production, packaging, and design among other things; I wish other houses had the same approach. I spotted this perfume on a display stand alongside ten others from the brand and wanted to try them all, which clearly wasn’t possible. To my surprise, on the official Maison website, they sell a set at a good price containing all the miniature testers, which I 100% recommend. Testing with time at home before choosing a scent that truly suits you is the best thing you can do compared to trying something quickly in a store. Regarding the trail, unlike most, I’d prefer it to be shorter; I like to smell what I’m wearing without forcing others to feel what I believe is a good aroma.

  I’ll start by saying I’m not an expert in perfumes and almost all of them give me a headache. As soon as I put this on, I immediately thought of Carolina Herrera’s 212 for her, which I wore around in 2013, so I’m not sure if I like it for what it is or because it feels so familiar. I think ‘clean and fresh-floral’ is the correct description. I’m not sure if it’s the flowers that tell me it might give me a headache if I use it daily, but if you’re not delicate with scents, I recommend it. Furthermore, Maison Matine has a modern vision regarding environmental production, packaging, and design, among other things, which I wish other houses had. I saw this perfume on a display stand alongside ten others from the brand and wanted to try them all, which I clearly couldn’t do. To my surprise, on the official Maison website, they sell a set at a good price with all the miniature testers, which I recommend 100% because testing with time at home before choosing a scent that truly suits you is the best thing you can do compared to trying something quickly in a shop. Regarding the sillage, unlike most, I would prefer it to be shorter because I like to smell what I’m wearing but don’t want to force others to feel what I believe is a good aroma.

  This is a lovely fragrance that I tried in the Maison Matine discovery set and is now on my wishlist. It feels floral with that touch of green apple and a perfect musky base for spring. It’s quite feminine and totally appropriate for the office. It’s not groundbreaking, but it doesn’t need to be.

  Apple and freesia, the quintessential angelic good girl but ultimately boring. I’ve been wearing the Maison Matine set for a year and still haven’t written about Arashi No Umi; I suppose it’s because the concept just doesn’t make me vibrate. I’m not a fan of the apple: it’s a flat, pasty, brash freshness with no depth. Sometimes it makes me dizzy, though that’s rare and I think I’m just sensitive to this fruit. Freesia on its own isn’t bad; I used to think it caused that powdery, drowsy effect, but now I believe it’s the iris-musk accord doing it. Here, it doesn’t happen: Arashi No Umi is fresh, but in an oddly dry way. The silky softness of the freesia clashes with the violent sheen of the apple, creating something uncomfortable, like the fine layer of moisture from a harsh, alcohol-soaked wipe. The other notes should be working behind the scenes; perhaps a hint of sandalwood peeks through? But it’s like saying nothing. This fragrance has two clear protagonists, apple and freesia, and sadly, one I dislike and the other I’m indifferent to.

  Good girl apple-freesia. Almost angelic, yet rather dull. I’ve been using the Maison Matine discovery set for a year and still haven’t written anything about Arashi No Umi. Perhaps the concept simply doesn’t appeal to me. The apple note doesn’t suit me; it’s a flat, pasty, shouty freshness without any depth. Occasionally, it gives me a headache, though that’s rare and I suspect it’s just my sensitivity to this fruit. As a standalone note, the freesia isn’t bad. Previously, I thought it was responsible for those talcum-powdered, drowsy effects, but now I realise it’s probably the iris-musk blend causing that. Here, there’s no such issue: Arashi No Umi is fresh, albeit an oddly dry freshness. The silken softness of the freesia combined with the violent shine of the apple degenerates into something uncomfortable. Like the finest layer of moisture on a rough hand-cleansing towel soaked in alcohol. The other notes must be working behind the scenes. Perhaps a hint of sandalwood peeks out? But that’s as good as saying nothing. This fragrance has two clear protagonists: the apple and the freesia. Unfortunately, one I dislike and the other I’m indifferent to.
