Osmanthus Eau de Parfum

It`s almost ridiculous how well this works in winter in a cold nordic (European) maritime country with -5 degrees Celsius and a lot of snow around. Almost as a cold weather elevates the pink pepper, tuberose and osmanthus to a a totally new level, cutting down the sweetness for me. And in in this climate it really lasts, on clothes up to 3 days, on skin 12+ hours. But I ́m sure it is the cold and dry climate that has this impact and in warmer areas and seasons it might lose its magic.

This is a 7/10 for me. Its very light and “airy”, so you might new a handful of sprays for people to notice it. This price is amazing for what you get imo, and it’s definitely better than majority of designer perfumes in this price range. The fruits in this smell very real, and not synthetic at all. Think of how well Arancia di Capri is able the replicate the smell of real fruit, it’s on that type of level. My only criticism I have for this one is longevity, I get 5-6 hours.

I was between "love" and "like" but decided Osmanthus deserves the love vote, cause within its simplicity their something special about it. I think you will agree it is not your typical fruity floral freshie. Its elegant, feminine and at the same time discreet and very pleasing to the senses. I got a decant to try it out but I might need a full bottle, cause it's worth it. Its a beautiful everyday creation, thank you Molinard.

This is a beautiful, elegant, fruity osmanthus Fragrances. Not like other synthetic sweet peachy/apricot stuffs on the market. Light but long lasting, perfect for spring or summer. One of the best of the Element line from Molinard.

I’m getting a fruity osmanthus with jasmine and musk. Leans a tad feminine but unisex. My husband and I both enjoy this. Lovely!

I visited the Molinard museum in Grasse in August and the guided tour was really interesting. Apparently, they are very concerned by sustainability and preferably use natural and local ingredients. As the whole museum is saturated with fragrances, it is quite hard to tell a note from another one. However I fell for Osmanthus and bought it. It doesn't have the leathery note I don't like in fragrances with osmanthus. At first it smells like fresh oranges and apricots. Very promising. However this does not develop on my skin and disappears within an hour. I am disappointed as it is supposed to be an Eau de Parfum...

Milky, fragrant, slightly nectary floral musk. Definitely not your typical fruity floral, and I typically do not enjoy the fruity floral scent profile. This is different. Sophisticated. I received an 8ml decant of this by mistake via a decantor based out of Germany off Etsy (I wanted ELD'O la fin du Monde, but got someone else"s order) however I do enjoy this enough to sing it's praises here. Molinard osmanthus is a sheer and quite lovely soliflor which has awakened my interest in osmanthus-centered fragrances. An addictive, irresistible, and interesting smell.

An opening blast of astringent citrus with soft white florals. As it dries down, it picks up increasingly more apricot smell while settling into a clean white musk base. Moderately soft projection for 2-3hr, longevity 6-8hr. The osmanthus feels like it's helping prop up the floral and apricot notes more than standing on its own. It's not really a distinct or star player in this fragrance.

This is a slightly orange citrussy, tuberose, very apricotty osmanthus with a dose of musk that is neither completely clean or dirty. Ignore the beginning, it gets better. This lasted overnight and through a shower on me. The drydown is an apricot fruity naughty tuberose musk. It's quite seductive in a quiet way, one of those people would want to get closer to work out.

It’s a nice warm osmanthus scent with lots fruity and floral aspects and some powdery sweetness in the base. I have sort of love/hate impression of this fragrance, because I really enjoy the creamy apricot part (that alsmost smells like dried apricot to me), but the white floral notes are quite heavy here that makes this scent less pleasant to me.

I am a fan of osmanthus and apricot and their combo, and I also love iris, so this composition is just my cup of tea. Maybe it could shine brighter with a bit more fruitiness, but it is still a big like. Lasting power is OK around 4 hrs, longer on clothes and hair

How lovely! I don't own any fragrances quite like this one, but this is pleasant and delightful — innocent in a bright, light and happy way. Apricot note is so mellow and juicy, and impressively realistic. Fruity, but more fresh than sweet.

Spring-summer refreshment, I tried it at the gym - Oh my, stunner when heated! Drydown is my vision of spa scent, when they apply those creams with various plants and it lingers of of the face till the end of the day.

6/10. Starts off with vanilla and freshly baked pastry. Then turns musky floral. The musk persists for 8 hours. It is pleasant and unusual, slightly bitter.

On me it smells like Fleur du mal by Dries van Noten but without leather. So pretty!

I found out that I don’t like Osmanthus much. Super feminine and headache inducing. I got this as a free sample. It says it’s unisex but to me def for women. But honestly wouldn’t want to smell this on my girl either. Quality was good and construction of the went good too. Floral overdose.. 3/10

Oh this is such a wonderful surprise! Usually I love rosy scents (Chloe EDP, Miss Dior Rose n Roses) but I wanted something different but with a similar vibe (to me). So I sampled a few perfumes in a local store with mostly niche scents, and fell in love immediately with this Molinard scent. It’s fresh en fruity with a hint of apricot, but also a bit spicy and ...very smooth and soothing because of the wonderful osmanthus. I ordered a full bottle and a few nice travelsize scents at the official Molinard website, and receveid more nice samples of their other perfumes. So glad I discovered the brand. Sillage and longevity will do best in hot weather, but it’s definitively okay to overspray for this price a full bottle costs. So happy with my Osmanthus!

The screechiness make this perfect for high heat day. 93 degrees, sun shining clear sky will maul the screech. Sweating nonstop in New Orleans summer help tone down screech. All the other notes come out once screech gone. Super feminine fragrance.

Gorgeous. I love osmanthus like Lanvin ME Absolu and Ferragamo Senorita Eleganza which are both "big" scents. Molinard is soft and devine. Blind bought off the Molinard website received in 9 days from France to Nevada USA.

This definitely smells like a fruity body wash for me. It's sweet, clean and lovely! I like something with a bit more edge (I'm an Habanita girly!) but this is great if you like more fruity, happy and lighter fragrances.
