Molinard Patchouli Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Patchouli Intense opens with Neroli, Jasmine, and Praline, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Molinard's Patchouli Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Seriously polarising, Molinard's "Patchouli Intense" is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions - this is no shy wallflower. For true patchouli lovers, it’s an absolute stunner, but if sweet Gourmands aren't your jam, steer clear.

Scent Profile

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • 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

A powerful, earthy patchouli hits you first, quickly tempered by a surprising hit of sweet, almost chocolatey praline and creamy tonka bean. Hints of jasmine and neroli lend a fleeting freshness before the warmth of cashmeran and sandalwood settle in the base, wrapped in a smooth, musky embrace. This is a bold, woody scent with a gourmand heart.
