Molinard Chypre Charnel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Chypre Charnel opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Molinard's Chypre Charnel carries a Favourite verdict, a earthy-led wear.

Chypre Charnel splits opinion: some hail it as a masterclass in modern chypre, sophisticated and sensual, while others find its fruitiness too prominent, missing the genre's classic bite and smelling 'pestilential'. It's certainly a grown-up take on fruity chypres, but not for everyone.

About

Opens with a juicy, slightly bitter burst of peach and citrus, quickly introducing a floral heart of delicate rose and powdery iris. The earthy, woody foundation of patchouli, vetiver, and moss anchors the fragrance, preventing it from becoming overly sweet, while a warm amber and vanilla linger in the deeper drydown, creating a sensual, comforting finish.
