Îles d'Or (1929)
by Molinard

Notes (from OsMoz.com): green citron, mirabelle plum, freesia, jasmine, amber, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, nougat.

Molinard already has an über-sweet tropical fruity floral fragrance in Nirmala, so I’m not sure why it needs Îles d’Or. As a matter of fact, Îles d’Or smells a lot like Nirmala's sticky fruity floral top notes, without the patchouli oriental foundation that aligns Nirmala so closely with Angel. As with Nirmala, I very much doubt that the contemporary Îles d’Or has anything besides its name in common with the scent of 1929. This is very much a garish contemporary bubblegum fragrance for adolescent girls, and it smells as cheap and artificial as any preposterously packaged pink celebrity scent on the market. Avoid it.

WOW, I'd never guess Iles d'Or's age! This exotic fruity gourmand could have easily been plucked off the shelf of a 2009 fragrance display! After the initial sweet and juicy burst of fruits, a slight breezy floral wafts by as she settles into a warm and wooded vanilla base. A wonderful suprise!

An exotic journey to Madagascar, exotic, fruity and gourmand. Like it very much

Very sunny fruity juicy floral - nice, rather intense, and without the melon-plum-blackcurrent bud notes that can bother me in fruity scents.
