Molinard Molinard de Molinard is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1979. Molinard de Molinard opens with Green Notes, Fruity Notes, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Molinard's Molinard de Molinard carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This 70s green-floral is a classic for a reason. Molinard de Molinard isn't for those who cling to cloying modern gourmands, but if you're after a fresh, clean, and distinct scent with a touch of retro charm, you'll find it utterly captivating. A divisive masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

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.

Also Works:

While some find it suitable for formal settings, its generally light longevity and sillage in the EDT formulation make it less impactful for evenings or dates.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Opens with an intensely green and fruity burst of blackcurrant and zesty lemon, almost sharp, before settling into a cool, crisp floral heart. Narcissus and lily of the valley take centre stage, evoking damp, vernal spring gardens. The dry-down introduces an earthy, woody complexity with vetiver, patchouli, and a whisper of incense, grounding the freshness with a sophisticated, musky warmth. It's a journey from vibrant green to a subtly smoky floral.
