Molinard Thé Basilic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Émilie Bouge. Thé Basilic opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Basil, and Mint, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, Blackcurrant, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Musk, Lemon Verbena, and Calone. Molinard's Thé Basilic carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A vibrant green tea and basil blend that's an absolute steal for summer, delivering a refreshing blast that punches well above its weight. It's often compared to pricier rivals, though some find the basil a bit much or the performance lacking in newer batches.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and herbal character makes it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and sports, as it provides a invigorating scent without being overpowering. The moderate projection means it's suitable for close quarters but might lack the gravitas for formal events or the allure for a date.

About

Thé Basilic opens with a vibrant, zingy burst of basil, mint, and sharp citrus - lemon and bergamot. This gives way to a heart of clean green tea, softened by a touch of lavender and the fruity tang of blackcurrant. The dry down is a subtle, musky finish with a hint of lemon verbena, keeping things fresh and light without heavy sweetness.
