Molecule 01

Molecule 01 on the go. 

The cult classic of today that remains as disruptive and avant-garde as the day it was first bottled, Molecule 01 consists of Iso E Super, pure and singular. 

Iso E Super does not exist in nature and was created in a laboratory at the IFF in 1973. 

The trail of scent that lingers in the air when someone wearing Molecule 01 passes is nearly impossible to put your finger on — as distinct as it is enticing. 

A surfeit of M01 molecules can be worn to engender a sense of self. Characterised by a hyper-modern cedarwood note with a velvety sensation, Iso E Super sticks close to the skin, magnifying the wearer's natural aroma. 

"Iso E Super is one of those scents that makes you want to nestle into it. It's comforting and cocooning," says Geza Schoen. 

Molecule 01 has a marked intermittence. To the wearer, it seems to vanish and then re-appear. This is due to the way it sits with receptors in the olfactory system, only slowly releasing to make it easy for a new charge of the molecule on the receptors. 

"Molecule 01 is for the individual who might be a bit bored with fragrance and would prefer to radiate an aura. It's difficult to call a single aroma-chemical a fragrance — it's so much more personal," says Geza. 

Like true originality, this fragrance is known for its suivez-moi powers by coming in transient moments to quickly appear and then submerge itself in the unique aroma tide of the wearer. 

Here, Molecule 01 is encased in a burnished stainless steel Portable Travel Case, combining functionality with sophistication. Escentric Molecules Portables can be repeatedly topped up with a 30ml Refill for scent touch-ups on the go.
