Bain De Midi vs Avant l’Orage

The community has mixed opinions about Maison Matine's discovery set, with Bain de Midi specifically receiving notably negative feedback from multiple users who found it unpleasant. While the set concept works well for sampling, individual fragrances show highly polarized reception depending on skin chemistry, and some fragrances may not suit their marketed unisex positioning.

Avant l'Orage from Maison Matine is a polarizing fragrance with a prominent tonka and vanilla base that appeals to some but disappoints others. The scent's composition appears highly dependent on skin chemistry, with some experiencing the intended profile while others detect unpleasant sour or off-notes. It seems best suited for those willing to test it first and potentially layer it with complementary fragrances.
