Parfum des Parfums(1928)

An aldehydic mixed-floral composition from Molinard, opening on bergamot and aldehydes before a blended floral heart, closing on musk, woods, and amber. Its declarative name, The Perfume of Perfumes, stakes an ambitious claim to definitive status, consistent with the confident, aldehyde-driven maximalism sweeping French perfumery in the years following Chanel No. 5. It represents Molinard's own engagement with the era's dominant aldehydic-floral genre.
