by Molinard
Une Souris Verte by Molinard is a light, aromatic green fragrance with a fresh and slightly bitter herbal character. It opens with a crisp blend of citrusy lemon verbena, basil, artemisia, and tomato leaf, creating a dewy, grassy sensation that feels directly tied to the onset of summer. The composition balances green freshness with subtle sweetness from honey and vetiver, while notes of cypress, freesia, and orange blossom provide a soft floral undercurrent without overpowering the dominant green-aromatic profile. As it dries down, it develops a dry, woody-herbal base that remains light and diffuse rather than robust. The scent is best suited for daytime wear, especially in warm seasons, when its cool, refreshing character enhances its appeal and keeps it from feeling overly fragile or short-lived. It is naturally unisex in appeal, though some find it leans slightly feminine due to its soft citrus and herbal profile. Despite being rare and often unavailable, it stands out for the way it avoids typical eau de cologne tropes while maintaining an air of playful elegance.
