MM

MM, from the French house Molinard, came out in 2022 and is mostly woody, with a solid floral layer and smaller amber, spicy, musky and citrus accents.

Lemon and neroli give a clean, bright opening, the citrus sharp and the neroli green and slightly soapy. The heart brings flowers with a spiced edge: carnation adds a clove-like, peppery floral note, rose a softer petal touch and nutmeg a warm, dry spice. As it settles, the woods take over: Atlas cedar and cedar give a dry, pencil-shaving structure, teak wood a smooth, slightly oily woodiness, sandalwood a creamy depth and patchouli an earthy grounding. Incense adds a dry, smoky haze, while amber and musk round off the finish.

This profile suits autumn and spring, the office and evenings alike, and people who like a classic, slightly retro woody scent with spiced flowers. Molinard presents it for anyone, and it should appeal to those who prefer dry woods to sweet compositions.
