    Oh, I really enjoyed that, and now it makes me want to sample some Molinard fragrances. I don’t think I ever have!

      Habanita is calling you!

        But isn’t that the one I remember from years ago perfumistas on here talking about its being horribly reformulated? I might be thinking of something else though.

          Oh dear… I just read your review from 2007 and I want that 1849 parfum version of Habanita… NOW!

          Everything has been reformulated now so many times over that it’s useless to make statements about what things smell like, yeah? I have no idea what Habanita would smell like if you found a tester. You need the 1849 version, or just some decent vintage.

    Molinard’s distribution in the U.S. is anemic at best. I don’t recall seeing them at any of the usual stores in NYC. I was so happy when I stumbled upon a boutique in Nice when I was there in 2013.

      Aedes had them for a short time, and I seem to remember seeing them at Barneys too. Didn’t seem to “take”.
