Molinard 2014 EDP
Acqua Lotus
by Mathieu Nardin , Michèle Saramito
Molinard Acqua Lotus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Mathieu Nardin and Michèle Saramito. Acqua Lotus opens with Red Fruits, Sea Water, Lemon, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Molinard's Acqua Lotus carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a unique, airy delight, a real signature scent, but just as many find it a rather odd, even stale, aquatic mess. Definitely not a blind buy.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and often subtle projection makes it suitable for office wear and casual outings. However, the divisive aquatic and pepper combination means it's less ideal for formal events or intimate dates where mass appeal is key.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
