Floral

A spiced mixed-floral composition from Molinard, opening on bergamot and spices before a blended floral heart, closing on amber, musk, vanilla, and sandalwood. Its Sanskrit-derived name, meaning pure or spotless, reflects a mid-century fashion for evocative names drawn from South Asian languages, part of the broader exoticizing naming conventions common across the era's perfumery.
