Vanille Fruitée

Already in 1921 with Habanita, it caused a sensation with the very first oriental perfume in classic perfumery. Having mastered the art of creating exotic fragrances, Molinard offered us with the Les Eléments collection in 2015 magnificent orientals including the fabulous and original Vanille Fruitée.

The magnified and modern vanilla of the house of Molinard

The house of Molinard is extremely proud of its past and its roots in Grasse, and it is now one of the rare companies to be recognized as an “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” for the richness of its ancestral know-how. Yet the perfume house is not merely an “old lady” resting on its past, and with each new fragrance creation, the Lerouge Benard family (owners of Molinard for five generations) has proven how committed it is to creating innovative and current fragrances. Habanita, the first oriental perfume in history, is an example of this.

Célia Lerouge Benard is, moreover, the main instigator of the brilliant modernizations that have appeared at Molinard since the 2010s: The change unsettled some people, which is fairly common in France. Einstein used to say that everyone wants change… but no one wants to change. However I was supported and trusted.

This blend of traditional craftsmanship and innovation is precisely at the heart of the beautifully exotic Vanille Fruitée. Indeed, by offering top-quality raw materials such as Madagascar vanilla pods, Vanille Fruitée follows in the direct line of Molinard's perfumes. On the other hand, the blending of this vanilla with a raspberry or a bergamot proves to be entirely unprecedented and irresistibly in line with the great trend for gourmand perfumes.

A lively and spontaneous fruity oriental: the perfume Vanille Fruitée

The beautiful and original Vanille Fruitée is part of the Molinard collection that appeared in 2015, Les Eléments Exclusifs. Fittingly, it therefore comes in the same presentation as the other treasures of the collection. Sometimes Vanille Fruitée is dressed in vivid purple glass to better catch the eye, sometimes it comes in its understated cylindrical bottle with a copper cap recalling its historical past.

Vanille Fruitée opens on very fresh and tangy top notes of bergamot which pair with surprising boldness with a carnation that is as nervy as it is floral. Of course vanilla appears at the heart of this Vanille Fruitée, though it hesitates between its opulent facets brought out by orchid and the solar note and its darker facets propelled by a woody heliotrope. Raspberry brings its touch of fresh fruit to this intoxicating blend. Then the vanilla pod takes on a candy-sugar tint to give us a gourmand caramel that pairs with benzoin for even more sensuality. White musks wrap this gourmand and fruity blend in their tenderness.

Vanille Fruitée embodies the woman full of freedom and irreverence. A seductive fragrance of disarming spontaneity. A sparkling boldness that restores to femininity its magnificence… Molinard on Vanille Fruitée.
