Hélène Napoleone was the daughter of Napoleon’s last lover, Albine de Montholon, and although it was never confirmed if the now-exiled Emperor was indeed her father, he did give her his name, so…? Her namesake fragrance is a vivacious bouquet of fruits and florals, headlined by sparkling pear and creamy magnolia. The charm deepens with the amber base, warmed by sandalwood and patchouli.

Ah the wiliness of youth! You think that fresh face shines with only innocence, until a feral cunning presents itself. Disco Inferno starts off playing the game with happy-sappy pear and peach blossom, frangipani and pineapple. Then you realise oud and soft woods are at work behind scenes, allowing that innocent visage into places they should never be allowed.

A milky green fig oozing sweet musk.

Miréa brings the wearer a delicious dose of Riviera sun. The fruity, musky notes create a classic Molinard moment. A delicious gourmand scent by way of lychee, fressia and vanilla that smells like sophisticated spun-sugar. Miréa is a name with an allegorical allure signalling an olfactory delight; a scent that truly enchants the senses.

From the ethereal perspective of the exquisitely adorned hummingbird, the world is an endless kaleidoscope of colourful, fragrant blooms offering up their tempting delights. An insatiable desire for sweetness propels the hummingbird as it floats from flower to flower, sampling the nectar with a gentle touch of its delicate tongue. Retreating to its lichen and moss-lined nest, it settles into the cozy cocoon and dreams of sweet ambrosia.

Hummingbird mingles light floral tones with delectable fruity nectars to create a harmonious balance. This diaphanous scent alights upon you in a pastel bouquet of honeysuckle, mimosa, lilac and peonies, with just the lightest dusting of natural sugars found in pear, cherry and honey. A finishing dollop of velvety whipped cream melds the tantalizing notes, completing this irresistible and opulent perfume.

The Sniff on Hummingbird:

"[it] settles beautifully and as it warms more floral notes develop. There was a strong lilac and something that reminds me of Viburnum – a sweet, almost jasmine-like smell."

Not just a fine addition to luxury white chocolate chip cookies, macadamia is also an intriguing perfume material. Creamy, buttery and velvety, it’s the starting point for this unusual fruity floral. The floral is mimosa, a cute li’l flower that looks innocent, but plays dirty. Don’t let those fluffy yellow pom-poms fool you — mimosa’s got a raunchy side thanks to its dusty niff of overripe honey. Orris doubletracks mimosa’s powderiness, while peach twins mimosa’s earthy sweetness. Mellow sandalwood steers macadamia from a nut to wood. Macadamia? That’s Ms Macadamia to you.

A forest oasis shrouded by hazy mists. This fragrance starts with the piney sparkle of lentiscus (Morocco) and olibanum (Somalia). The fresh floral heart of neroli (Morocco) and rose (Morocco) is further enhanced by watery violet leaves (Egypt), reminiscent of cucumber and melon, with woody cedarwood Atlas (Morocco) at the base.

Fantômas was the ruthless and elusive antihero of a series of blockbuster French crime novels in the early 20th century. Sophisticated and sadistic, the villain was a chameleon who always got the better of his enemies. The extrait de parfum named for him follows in his enigmatic footsteps, a smooth, thick melon and cashmeran blend that is simultaneously soothing and sinister. Jelly beans made from plastic? Or the smell of the rubber gloves on the hands about to squeeze the air from your throat? You decide — if you live long enough.

Honeydew melon chunked out with orange segments, a squirt of lemon and a sprig of mint. Summery and sharp, this EdP finds its footing with a grounding of cedarwood, vetiver and musk.

Playground conjures the bracing nothing of cold air: crisp, clean, marine. A transparent but present blend of bergamot, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, lightly fluffed with cashmere wood and musk. Honeydew melon lends its cool sweet flesh to this oceanic fantasy.
