Thé Basilic

This is a gorgeous scent for the summer!! Very green and fresh!! The basil is beautifully highlighted by the fresh mint! This is NOT the toothpaste mint. Not at all. They succeeded to work the mint very well in this perfume! Great for that type of summer which is melting you down, and when you breathe the hottest air ever!! You know when you spent a half a day on 50 degrees celsius and you need a freezing shower to recover?? This scent is creating that freezing shower sensation! Absolutely gorgeous! I have one remark though...The old bottle I have, is from 2019 bought from Molinard boutique in Grasse. This year (2024), me and my boyfriend returned in Grasse at Molinard and we bought 2 refill bottles of Thé Basilic (250 ml each) , and we both felt that they have watered down the formula.....I have still the old formula and I could compare immediately both versions.... So yes, I am quite dissapointed about the longevity from the new batch....Maybe they are doing this only with the refill bottles...? Who knows.... Still...The composition of this scent in terms of ingredients - Magnificent!! Do give it a try!!

I'm a sucker for anything green, citrus, and tea-like so I had to buy this one. Imagine Herba Fresca, but mint is waaaay toned down, and basil is waaaay toned up. Gorgeous refreshing summer scent and the basilic accord is very prominent. As real as eating basil leaves in one of those fancy Caprese salads. Longevity is amazing, considering it is a citrus scent, and they usually say goodbye shortly after they've been sprayed. Smells 93% like Method green tea + aloe foamy handwash, but with basil, if this helps anyone. It may seem simple, but it is not. It does transform throughout the wear and has a green punch to it. For the asking price - it is a bargain.

Unexpectedly good, I actually adore it. It smells herbal, natural, zesty, refreshing. A perfect summer scent. I never owned a Molinard, but this is so charming, a tea scent mixed with basil and other herbs, cool and addictive. Somehow it manages to stay away from any Elizabeth Arden Green Tea influence - not that I don't like that one, because I actually do like some of its flankers, but it's a very common scent. This Molinard is quite unique, the lavender is there too, and it just smells like a botanical garden. Simply beautiful, with decent silage and ok lasting power.

A lively green herbal experience. Fresh basil stars, uplifted by the presence of cool mint, soft jasmine, and a sparkling bergamot. Settles into a sweet green tea scent, with a smidge of tartness and the basil blend gently percolating from the surface. Moderately soft projection for 3-4hr, longevity 6-8hr. THE basil scent. And while the note breakdown is similar to Torino21, I don't find them that similar... mostly because Torino21 goes soapy lemon cleaner on my skin but I digress. That focuses more on the citrus, this focuses more on the herbs.

I would describe it as crushing a basil leaf, smelling it (top note) and then dropping it in a cool lemon tea. Extremely refreshing for spring/summer and superb value.
