The most minimal fragrance is a single aroma-molecule: Molecule 01. The next most minimal adds 1 to 01: 01 + 1. This is Molecule +. Molecule 01 + Cistus consists of Iso E Super + Cistus. Iso E Super is an abstract synthetic molecule with a cedarwood tonality and a warm, velvety cocooning sensation. It is one of those scents that makes you want to nestle into it. Cistus is derived from the resin of the Mediterranean Cistus ladanifer shrub, with a warm, resinous, and slightly smoky aroma. In Molecule 01 + Cistus, Iso E Super meets the raw sensuality of Cistus.
The result? Radiant depth. A haze of warmth, sheer and lasting. Cistus is a note that lingers like heat on the skin. Cistus is resin tapped from a wild Mediterranean shrub. Sticky, golden, intense. It smells of labdanum but brighter - amber with a sunlit edge.
Escentric Molecules launched in 2006 with Molecule 01 - a fragrance built around a single synthetic molecule, Iso E Super, designed to interact with the wearer's own skin chemistry and produce a subtly different scent on every person who wears it - and has since expanded into five Molecule and five Escentric pairings.
