Molecule 04

Molecule 04 consists of Javanol, pure and singular. 

Javanol is a sandalwood-type molecule that retains the radiance and endurance of natural sandalwood but is sheer and transparent like no sandalwood in nature. 

Javanol does not exist in nature and was created in a laboratory at Givaudan in 1996. 

Javanol in Molecule 04 oozes clarity and spaciousness, creating an immersive experience that speaks to all five senses. 

"What I love about Javanol is its almost psychedelic freshness. It smells as if liquid grapefruit peel were poured over a bed of velvety cream-coloured roses," says perfumer Geza Schoen. 

Fragrances in our Molecule line are ultra-minimalist, containing just one aroma-molecule.

"We are bombarded with technology and information; it has become an addiction, something that was once seductive but is now controlling us. The result is that we are starting to appreciate things that detangle the complexities of our lives. We are starting to value minimalism in a new, deeper way," adds Geza Schoen.

Molecule fragrances are an antidote to the overindulgent fragrance fanfare, and Molecule 04 is a symbol of this. It brings clarity with its spatial freshness, delivering purity and precision through a single aroma-molecule that is simple in the formula yet entrancingly complex in the olfactory experience it induces. 

Creamy, woody and radiant — Molecule 04 takes Javanol to a new metallic dimension and has a different kind of freshness that you'll come to crave. 

For sustainability seekers, Molecule 04 is available in a travel-friendly 30ml refill size for a more conscious fragrance choice. Slip your Refill in our Portable Travel Case to keep it safe when you're out and about.
