Molinard MM is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Marie Duchêne.

Molinard's MM is a bit of a mystery, with its woody, spicy blend offering a quietly elegant yet somewhat elusive experience. It's a scent that prompts more questions than statements.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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.

  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

About

MM opens with a flash of bright lemon and neroli, quickly spiced up by nutmeg and the subtle warmth of carnation. As it settles, a sophisticated heart of rose mingles with robust teak and cedar, deepened by earthy patchouli and a wisp of contemplative incense. The base grounds the composition in classic masculine grandeur, featuring smooth sandalwood, soft musk, and a warm, inviting amber finish.
