Long lasting, pungent jasmine. And I don’t smell any other notes, nada, no transitions, nothing but jasmine. And it smells this way for an hour until it fades. I’m wishing I could pick up anything spicy and/or woody to add depth.
It feels like this composition is not finished.
But if you are a jasmine fan, give it a spin. Others are picking up more notes, so it may just be my chemistry.

I blind bought this Molinard flacon, given that I’ve never been deceived by this brand.
It’s a very nice creamy and classic jasmine, evocative of pre-war scents of the 20’s and 30’s – like the frags of le Galion.
Jasmine evermore softened by rose and white musks, almost covering the orange blossom & citrus (an additional spray of Guerlain’s Eau de Fleurs de Cedrat doesn’t hurt here!). Nice for those nostalgic of ancient times, with high quality ingredients. It somewhat lacks originality at present time … but that’s what old houses like Molinard often do the best.
IMHO the perfume pyramide above lacks a hint of aldehydes.
Globally, very affordable for this quality – for jasmine lovers only

I agree with EmmaSmells. I ordered a sample of Molinard Jasmin this week, and I was so looking forward to it because of the comparisons to TF’s Jasmin Rouge. This is absolutely nothing like JR, except for the jasmine. In JR, the jasmine is backed by this warm, softly spicy, vaguely animalic base, and the ylang ylang brings out the warmth and creaminess in the jasmine. Molinard’s Jasmin is just fancy soap at grandma’s house – jasmine is there, for sure, but it’s thin and after about an hour and a half it’s gone.

As a jasmine lover, I thought this would be my holy grail, but it’s just jasmine granny-splash.
It’s nothing like Lush’s ‘Lust’ which others have suggested as Lust has a golden syrupy sweetness from the seductive jasmine, but this has an a muskier more aquatic floral with a slight vintage vibe which reminds me of Floris’s ‘Edwardian Bouquet’.
I don’t see the similarities to TF’s ‘Jasmin Rouge’ either. Just because they all predominantly have jasmine as a note, doesn’t mean they will smell related.
Bottom line: granny-splash jasmine

A new jasmine love! Oh, what a beauty this fragrance is, not to mention the stunning glass bottle in its audacious vibrancy.
This truly is comparable to Tom Ford’s Jasmin Rouge. I used to own a bottle of TFJR but rehomed it as it lasted barely an hour on my skin and was rather green and transparent; verified authentic, but it just didn’t perform well on me.
But this… Molinard Jasmin, which I read as clean, heady jasmine sambac tinged with a honeyed fruit and tea undertone, is very similar in scent; even slightly spicy with the presence of brisk carnation. Rose and orange blossom are very secondary but add well blended sophistication and depth. Lemon brings balance and life without any obvious harsh citrus.
I feel this is fuller, richer, and has the same silky classiness of Acqua di Parma’s Gelsomino Nobile which I attribute to the orange blossom, something that TFJR lacked. Perhaps this is where reviewers are finding Molinard Jasmin vintage like, but it translates as very polished, vibrant and modern to me. Bold, brave and sexy.
Yes, the same boldness of Lush Lust in contrast to Serge Lutens A La Nuit’s sweet honeyed innocence. Clean, yet with a good measure of indole. Warm and enveloping with a subtle anchor of sandalwood and musk, but finishing as glassy and luminous. Incredibly voluptuous and full bodied. Rrrrrrraaaoow!
Sillage and longevity are fantastic. This ravishing bottle of straight up floral courage is devastatingly essential for jasmine lovers.

Bought this while on special at Anthropologie! This is a beautiful, and very heady jasmine. At the same times there is a freshness and rosy warmth in the dry down of the scent. I w agree that this does remind one of Jasmine Rouge (will need to recheck the review of that one) but for me this is closer to Rodin’s signature scent, but with a rosier dry down. Compared to Lush’s Lust, this one is ‘cleaner’ and not as earthy- and lasts longer on skin and clothing. Expect this scent to perform beautifully in summer heat- it leaves a beautiful sillage without overwhelming.
SO- if you like Rodin’s signature scent, or Lust’s Lush, but want something a bit more elegant and fresher, please try to get your hands on this. At the bargain price I got tis it was a steal; at $69 for a full bottle it is still an amazing, long lasting bargain.

I adore the heady intensity of Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge and this is the first Jasmine perfume I’ve found that could possibly match that (at a MUCH better price point).

Tried this in Anthropology today, it’s a very spicy and deep jasmine, very similar in character to Bruno Acampora Jasmin oil. The carnation is at the center of the composition, lending it an almost vintage vibe. If you can’t afford the BA, this very competent creation with its cute bottle will only set you back $65. Well done, Molinard!
