All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Madrigal suits the moment when a brisk autumn afternoon moves indoors: a wool jacket comes off, conversation settles, and aromatic freshness gives way to incense and wood. Its register is composed rather than formal, with a mossy undertone that keeps the warmth from becoming plush.
How to wear
Try it in mild to cool weather, when the contrast between citrus freshness and warm woods has room to unfold. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or upper chest; applying beneath clothing keeps the incense, moss and musk closer to the body. In warmer conditions, use a lighter hand.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to traditional aromatic woods, green violet leaf and moss rather than overt sweetness. Madrigal offers a crisp opening with a warmer, more enveloping underside, appealing to tastes that favor understated structure and a connection to classic French perfumery.
Release year
1935 (or 1930), EdP 2015
Molinard’s story
Molinard preserves its Grasse heritage without treating it as a fixed formula. The house composes and manufactures its fragrances there, combining ingredients from nature and science with an independent creative outlook. Madrigal reflects that philosophy through a historic name carried into a contemporary heritage collection.
Madrigal’s concept
Madrigal reaches back to Molinard’s masculine fragrances of the 1930s, with later editions carrying the name forward. Today it belongs to La Collection Personnelle, which connects the house’s heritage with memory and successive generations. Its aromatic freshness and enveloping incense offer a contemporary interpretation rather than a promise of an unchanged vintage formula.
Extra info
Madrigal is one of six fragrances in La Collection Personnelle. Historical and current editions have substantially different published note lists, so a vintage bottle should not be expected to smell identical to today’s Eau de Parfum.
