Molinard seeks the very best in this world by creating fragrance lines inspired by the four corners of our beautiful Earth.

The Maison Molinard was founded in 1849 in Grasse, Provence, in the south of France, cradle of the world's perfume industry.

It has remained an entirely family-run business to this day, and is also the oldest of its kind. At that time, Molinard produced floral waters and Eaux de Cologne, which it sold in its "little shop" in the town centre.

In 1860 Molinard began creating new fragrances: after "Jasmin" and "Rose" came "Mimosa" and "Violette" in discreet, elegant bottles made of Baccarat crystal.

In 1891, Queen Victoria stayed at Grasse, and bought Eaux de Cologne there.

In 1900, the company moved into an old perfume factory, where the distillery structure was designed by Gustave Eiffel.

Molinard is still there today.

Since 1849, the "Maison Molinard", a MEMBER of the COMITE FRANÇAIS du PARFUM and the FEDERATION FRANCAISE de la PARFUMERIE, has magnificently preserved the value of traditions and quality, and established an excellent reputation in some 40 countries.
