Molinard is one of the oldest French perfume houses, founded in 1849 in Grasse, the world capital of perfumery. It started as a small shop where Joseph Molinard sold scented waters and flower extracts made from local roses, jasmine and lavender. Already in the 19th century the brand won recognition across Europe, and Queen Victoria was among its admirers.

In 1921 Molinard created Habanita, a bold fragrance for its time, first intended to scent tobacco, which later became a legendary women's perfume with a sensual, oriental character. Five generations later, Molinard is still an independent family company that combines the craft traditions of Grasse with modern design. Its contemporary collections include Les Éléments, dedicated to single natural ingredients, and the luxury Collection Privée.

Molinard perfumes are an authentic piece of the history of French perfumery.
