A jasmine-ylang-ylang oriental from Molinard, opening on bergamot and orange blossom before a jasmine-and-ylang-ylang heart, closing on amber, musk, vanilla, and sandalwood. Iles d'Or, Golden Isles, references the Iles d'Or off the French Riviera near Hyeres, tying the fragrance to the sun-warmed glamour of the Cote d'Azur. Its warm, tropical-floral structure reflects the broader interwar fashion for exotic, vacation-adjacent fragrance theming.
