Cloches de Noel(1926)

Molinard · Molinard in-house perfumers · Amber

At a glance

A spiced holiday composition from Molinard, opening on bergamot and spices before a blended floral heart, closing on amber, musk, and vanilla. Cloches de Noel, Christmas Bells, situates it within the same wintry, festive fragrance tradition as Caron's Nuit de Noel four years earlier, though Molinard's version leans on spice and amber warmth rather than Caron's oakmoss-mousse structure. It represents Molinard's own take on the emerging genre of holiday-themed perfumery.
