About Molinard Homme II EDC
Homme II EDC comes from Molinard. This one is the Eau de Cologne.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Mont Blanc Individuel and Yves Saint Laurent Y Intense last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like Bourbon vanilla and honey are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance.
Molinard perfumes worth knowing
The house has 31 perfumes here, led by Figue, The Basilic and Oud Magnetique.
The style of Homme II
The strongest accord is aromatic (100%), followed by woody and vanilla. You will probably like it if you enjoy aromatic and woody smells and notes like lavender and Bourbon vanilla. Less obvious notes include Sicilian mandarin, coriander and singapore patchouli. Perfume fans rate it 4.15 out of 5.

The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Mont Blanc Individuel but less than Yves Saint Laurent Y Intense.
Homme II for work or evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
