The Maison Molinard was founded in 1849 in Grasse, Provence, in the south of France, cradle of the world's perfume industry. It has remained an entirely family-run business to this day, and is also the oldest of its kind. At that time, Molinard produced floral waters and Eaux de Cologne, which it sold in its "little shop" in the town centre. In 1891, Queen Victoria stayed at Grasse, and bought Eaux de Cologne there.
In 1900, the company moved into an old perfume factory, where the distillery structure was designed by Gustave Eiffel. Molinard is still there today. A typical Provençal showroom was set up, and its first customers were wealthy foreigners from England and Russia. They came to admire its magnificent collection of 17th and 18th century furniture, and buy Molinard eaux de Cologne together with all its floral fragrances.
At the center of the region of Grasse, Molinard produced many exquisite soliflore perfume, or single flower perfumes, that are completely true to the gorgeous essential oils, absolutes, and enfleurages produced in the area.
Launched in 1932, Molinard Baiser de Faune Parfum is a rare and gorgeous soft animalic suede scent, created as an hommage to Claude Debussy
