“Mandarin is all about the instant hit.It’s so alive, the way it radiates off
the skin with that citrus zestiness.
But there’s more to mandarin, it’s very
fruity and aromatic as well.
It’s a beautiful ingredient.
Its transparency means that it
vanishes quickly. I’ve touched it up
with a little extra shading to extend it,
adding a mandarin ingredient used in
flavourings to give it super-juiciness.
Then as it begins to fade, Molecule 01
syncs in, bringing a warm, erogenous
feeling to play with that zinging
freshness. That’s unusual – for a
topnote ingredient like Mandarin and
a base note like Iso E Super to dance
together naked like this, without other
notes coming between them. And
then the mandarin is almost gone
and you are left with the elevated
simplicity of Molecule 01.
That’s what I love about Molecule 01 +
Mandarin – it may be a dance of two
but the story changes completely
from beginning to middle to end.”

Escentric molecules were launched in 2006 by the perfumer Geza Schoen and they became an absolute worldwide phenomenon. Their success lies in their totally unique composition, which is often built on the strength of a single component of the fragrance. The key ingredient of these perfumes is Iso E Super aroma-molecule that does not exist in nature - it was created in laboratory in 1973. The fragrances are presented in binary pairs, with each pair exploring one aroma-molecule in two different ways. Escentric molecules perfumes are highly unusual and long-lasting. They are made for people who like to find extravagant and original things.
