This perfume is perfect for the time-travelling adventurers among you, perhaps going incognito as a runaway princess at a fin de siecle European royal court.

In 1864, Prince Oscar of Sweden and his wife Sophie bought the Skabelycke estate overlooking the majestic Öresund strait, where they created their summer palace.

This summer palace is known today as Sofiero (Sophie-Ro) one of Europe's most beautiful parks.

As you step through the gates of Sofiero, you are enveloped by a calm feeling of happiness as a sea of flowers floods your senses with hundreds of different forms and colours.

The perfume is designed to transport you to this floral paradise on a warm and sunny summer day.

From the park you wander into the palace, where the antique wood panelling emanates nuances of sandalwood and amber, infused with fresh sea air through the open windows.

Let this sumptuous formula transport you to Sofiero.

Merina, referencing the lushness of Spanish wool, opens with a blissful puff of almond that shapeshifts between floral heliotrope and creamy vanilla. Fennel adds structure to the softness with its delicate aniseed character. Almond and fennel continue to shimmer against each other as heady jasmine and powdery iris gently pulse. The whole effect is intimate and refined, leaving a skin-close trail that wraps you like a veil.

White is a bright and lively fragrance built around the friction between hot spices and suave florals. The cinnamon, clove and cardamom opening suggests candied red hots, which makes it all the more surprising when the melange of rose de Mai and lily of the valley softly asserts itself. The undertone of tagete, with its bitter herbalness, keeps White from getting too “pretty-pretty”.

Inspired by a rummage through antique shops, this extrait de parfum conjures precious woods, well-worn leather and rare spices. A full and comfortingly rounded blend on a bed of the softest musk and smoothest oud.

Warm sunshine at twilight. Tangerine dances with bergamot in this cashmere, jasmine and patchouli-based choreography. With a whopping 50% of perfume oil, this extrait is persuasive enough to beguile any unsuspecting soul who crosses your path.

This is a one-of-a-kind mix of musky jasmine and balsamic black hemlock. It's a perfume formed of echoes: the summery echo of jasmine bouncing off cool hemlock, the smoky echo of sandalwood vibrating against spices, and many more.

The Flower of the Rising Sun!

The blooms of osmanthus, also known as sweet olive, exude sweet, fruity, leathery notes. In its creation bearing the blossom’s name, Molinard presents a surprising twist, blending the intoxicating floral notes of jasmine and tuberose with an irresistibly velvety duet of iris powder and apricot.

A sensuously carnal creation brimming with insouciance and freedom!

Terram captures the Mediterranean embrace of autumn. The path winding up from the beach is silent. Sweet aromatic notes of dry soil and clifftop pines float in the air. A haze of ambery benzoin and dusty patchouli settles over musk. Warm, woody, still — this is a fragrant mood that comforts and lulls.
