Iles d’Or conjures Molinard's connection to the Mediterranean’s azure waters and the southern coasts of Provence. Guided by the scents of the dense Provençal maquis, this delightfully bright fern centred perfume explores the heated mix of lavender, sarsaparilla, and heather. With bright citrus and a floral essence one feels a siren song to this island of paradise.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon on a coastal path, where flowering shrubs soften the dry scent of lavender underfoot. Mandarin brings brightness, while moss gives the fragrance a grounded register: relaxed, outdoors-oriented and quietly sociable rather than formally dressed.
How to wear
Its citrus, aromatic herbs and green florals suit spring and summer, especially mild to warm weather. Start with two sprays on the neck or forearms, leaving room for the lavender and flowers to unfold. In stronger heat, use a lighter application to keep the mossy, amber base from feeling too warm.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to aromatic freshness with a floral heart and an earthy foundation. It suits tastes that favour lavender, green landscapes and soft mimosa over sugary fruit or dense gourmand accords.
Release year
1929, reinterpreted 2022
Molinard’s story
Independent and family-owned since 1849, Molinard combines Grasse perfumery expertise with an openness to modern materials and techniques. Its approach values ingredients from both nature and science, treating fragrance as an accessible source of pleasure, emotion and memory.
Îles d’Or’s concept
The modern Îles d’Or reinterprets a historic Molinard name rather than reproducing the original formula. Its inspiration lies in the Mediterranean islands off Provence, particularly Port-Cros, a personal retreat for Célia Lerouge-Bénard. Lavender, flowering scrubland and hidden coves shape its aromatic island portrait.
Extra info
A historical bottle for Les Îles d’Or was designed by René Lalique, with a sepia-patinated frieze of bacchantes and a foliage-decorated stopper. The current eau de parfum belongs to Molinard’s six-fragrance Collection Personnelle.
