Molinard Patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Patchouli opens with Orange, Neroli, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Molinard's Patchouli carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is unapologetically patchouli - an earthy, green, and often divisive scent. If you love the note, it's a deep, natural experience, but expect polarising reactions from those who prefer their patchouli softened or sweetened. A purist's dream, not a crowd-pleaser.

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

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent, earthy character means it's best kept for casual wear or evening dates where its boldness can shine. It's too demanding for a typical office setting, and definitely not one for sport.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Molinard's Patchouli opens with a fresh, slightly bitter zest of neroli and orange, quickly joined by the distinctive green, rosy nuance of geranium. The heart plunges into a raw, earthy patchouli, smelling like damp soil and dried leaves. As it settles, a creamy sandalwood and soft musk emerge, rounding out the edges with a hint of vanilla sweetness, leaving a warm, balsamic trail.
