Molecule 01

Molecule 01 consists of 100% Iso E Super, pure and singular. It combines with — almost caramelises with — your own smell to meld into a personal scent signature.

Molecule 01 has been said to cause animal magnetism — a latter-day love potion. Geza used the beautifully mysterious and democratic aroma-molecule Iso E Super as the star of this juice. He felt it expressed everything a perfumer could want: radiance, tenacity, and power.

"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.

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

"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.

Molecule 01 is a cult classic of today that remains as disruptive and avant-garde as the day it was first bottled.

Please note: We have performed a general modernisation of the packaging introducing our new branding elements and logo. We wanted to retain our trademark design but remix the existing branding in a contemporary way, so there is consistency across the collective line of fragrances. 

The Molecule 01 fragrance is radically minimalist. It contains no odorants except the aroma-molecule, Iso E Super. Those customers who find the Molecule fragrances too subtle may wish to try the Escentric fragrances, which will always have a more powerful diffusion.
