Concreta(1921)

A mixed-floral composition from Molinard, opening on bergamot before a blended floral heart, closing on natural flower wax and musk. The use of natural flower wax, a byproduct of the enfleurage and solvent-extraction process containing waxy plant material alongside the aromatic absolute, gives the base an unusually raw, close-to-the-source floral character rather than the more processed musk-and-woods bases typical elsewhere in Molinard's catalog. It represents a technically distinctive entry in the house's 1921 output, released the same year as the far more famous Habanita.
