Molinard de Molinard is a rare gem from the golden archive of French perfumery, and one of the most iconic yellow floral compositions ever created. Built around tagetes (marigold)—a bold, green, and slightly bitter flower rarely used in modern fragrances—this scent is a vivid portrait of sunlit florals rendered with unapologetic flair.
Unlike today’s airy florals, Molinard de Molinard is textured and complex: earthy marigold layered with aldehydes, warm woods, and a veil of vintage musk. It’s a forgotten masterpiece from the era when perfumers embraced the full expressive range of “yellow floral”—from pollen and petals to green stems and bitter sap.
As the art of yellow florals continues to vanish from contemporary fragrance palettes, this scent remains a benchmark reference. To understand what “yellow floral” truly meant in perfumery—before the rise of minimalism and gourmand trends—you must smell this.
Perfect for collectors, students of scent, and connoisseurs building a serious olfactory library. This 5 ml glass travel spray of this fragrance comes housed in a chic gift box—perfect for gifting or treasuring. Expect around 2 weeks of daily wear to fully immerse yourself in this rare olfactory study.
