Molinard

The beautiful story begins in 1849 under the generous sun of the Riviera. Hyacinthe Molinard opens its doors in the heart of Grasse to sell its “Eaux de Fleurs”. The shop very quickly welcomes its wealthy customers, Queen Victoria and triumphs French craftsmanship.

In 1921, the revolutionary perfume “Habanita” was born which is an icon in the history of perfumery. It is the first oriental perfume for women in perfumery history.

Habanita was and still is a great success of Molinard. It is a real pearl of the heritage of the French perfume.

Molinard is a family business and is now run by the fifth generation, for the first time a woman who is director, namely Madame Célia Lerouge – Bernard. She is a passionate woman who loves nature, she is an artist and has a creative soul. She is happy to share her vision on perfume.

Molinard has been recognized and received the highest award at “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant”. Molinard stands out for its rare and ancestral know-how, artisanal and industrial, perpetuated from generation to generation.

Brave and legendary, it is now naturally part of the Haute-Parfumerie universe, sublimating precious essences in exceptional cases.
