Molinard de Molinard (for women)

Moyra

This is a review of the eau de toilette, unfortunately, the eau de parfum or perfume are no longer available. As an aside, be aware that almost every single eau de parfum they used to have is no longer available, from the Molinard website itself.
The bottle I have is the large frosted ultra lovely Lalique bottle pictured on this page. Its commonly available with online retailers and its very, very afforable.
It would be nice to get any of the notes listed at the top or base(except the black currants), alas, the eau de toilette only seems to have the middle notes. Its a little on the sharpish green side at first, then immediately tosses a bouquet of fresh cut garden flowers and a few black currants at you.
They're not horrible or funerary flowers or cloying black currants but light, fresh (even ever-so-slightly soapy) and crisp, which makes Molinard de Molinard a nice, inoffensive little summer perfume.
However, I feel it lacks character, which may be due to the eau de toilette problem detailed above. You really have to practically bathe in the stuff in order to derive the scent, and it gallops out of your immediate environment within an hour or two, trailing nothing but a few memories of flowers.
The eau de toilette is a pleasant after shower summer refresher, but, alas, nothing special.

It seems a doubt several people would all decide to delete the nice reviews. They were very good and had good information. I think something is wrong with this website. I can see there are many missing reviews and can not understand how they are disappearing. This is a concern to me and my mother. I wanted to join this site, but now my mother says there are problems here.

Ladies, I am desperately unhappy. I SO wanted to love this perfume but, over the course of two days, I am sorry to say that it REALLY isn't me at all. :(

I purchased a small bottle to try on a whim, having read the glowing reviews here, and was excited by the first spray - an uplifting freshness of a faintly herbal smelling blackcurrant leafiness that turned almost immediately into a kind of tomato leaf aroma with a hint of muskiness. Not at all unpleasant and quite an intriguing start...

Unfortunately, for me it was all downhill from there. It just smelled (dare I say it?) cheap on my skin, and didn't really last above a lingering "I am wearing perfume" smell that I couldn't really detect any notes listed in at all. I searched in vain for the incense and vetiver and ended each day in the doldrums, and with a headache to boot! I am glad so many of you love this, and that truly there is a perfume for everyone under the sun... but this is definitely not one of mine.

I am seriously thinking of putting this up for a swap or trade (it's a 30ml/1 Fl . oz bottle that's really meant to keep in your purse, I suppose, as it isn't the stately decorative kind depicted on this page). If you're interested, drop me a line or look out for this soon on the forum's swap posts.

Oh well, I am all for trying new things - nothing ventured, nothing gained!

A true classic. The description above indicates it is a fruity floral. To my nose, it smells clean, fresh, green, slightly peppery and woody. I received lots of compliments when I wore this one. It's almost universally pleasing and never offensive. The bottle is also a work of art and looks great on your dresser top.
