The world first encountered Clémentine by Molinard in 1993. A unisex fragrance rooted in the musk, fruit, and floral families. Created as part of the Senteurs collection.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Made in France. Clémentine Molinard — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Clémentine unfolds as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Molinard comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Floral, Musk and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Fruit. At family level the fragrance belongs to Floral, Fruit and Musk.
From the first breath you meet sparkling citrus first note: Mandarin. This single 1 note shapes a burst of citrus freshness that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the central layer you detect Clementine and Floral Notes keeping a refreshing green direction. In the base the composition is fixed through musk, reinforcing a silky musky trail.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral and Musc without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In diffusion Middle defines the projection profile in space.
Overall Clémentine reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
