Madrigal(1930)

At a glance
An aldehydic mixed-floral composition from Molinard, opening on bergamot and aldehydes before a blended floral heart, closing on musk, sandalwood, and amber. A madrigal, a form of secular vocal music popular in the Renaissance, lends the fragrance a lyrical, musical association similar in spirit to Lanvin's Arpege released three years earlier. It represents Molinard's continued engagement with the aldehydic-floral genre through the start of the 1930s.
