Forest fairy
Molinard is certainly an underestimated house, but it's a House deserving more recognition for sure! I am in love with their scents and will buy more.
Its fragrances clearly are concocted with quality ingredients by true masters of the art of perfumery; sillage and longevity are never an issue, elements crafted in sublime balances, and one will always be able to detect almost each note in them.
They might not appeal to the masses, but I don't think they should: they create masterpieces which have nothing to do with the overly sugary, fruity charmers the market craves for.
For a week I have been wearing this beauty. Upon application the most prominent notes are a tender, delicate green violet with a hint of powder, and a refreshing, juicy yet subtle note of blackcurrant.
After about 30 minutes the heart notes begin their journey up: again violet is the most prominent one, followed by an equally juicy peach - though very faint - and a glorious basket of violet leaves, slightly bitter. Iris then comes up, elegant, romantic and not at all overbearing. Here it does not overpower any other note. This is a dance of fairies, in the deep of a forest where all is about light and shadows.
No rose, no green apples can be detected at any time; perhaps one could say that the juiciness is given by all fruits blended perfectly in this marvellous magic potion. A citrusy whisper can be smelled every now and then, but overall citruses are not prominent.
THIS. IS. EXHILARATING. Nothing can evoke the spirit of the forest as much as violets and here they are the queens of a rather joyous, colourful, fun court.
Molinard is a genius and I wish this house would get the recognition it truly deserves. Simply magnificent.
