Molecule 01 + Champaca

Inspiration
The most minimal fragrance is a single aroma-molecule: Molecule 01. The next most minimal adds 1 to 01. This is Molecule +: the line in which Escentric Molecules pairs Iso E Super, the molecule that turned perfumery upside down, with a single natural ingredient. Molecule 01 + Champaca consists of Iso E Super and champaca, an absolute from the red champaca flower, found only in India. It is one of the most expensive ingredients in perfumery. "I was overwhelmed when I first smelled champaca absolute with Molecule 01," says Geza Schoen. "They form an amazing amalgamation, because they are very contrary."

The Signature of Molecule 01 + Champaca
Champaca absolute is one of the richest, most faceted floral materials, with shades of jasmine and orange blossom, touches of tea and a soft creaminess that unfolds in waves. Against it stands the weightless transparency of Iso E Super. The opening is radiant with orange blossom brightness; the heart is lush, floral and woody; and the fragrance settles into the smooth woody embrace of Molecule 01. The house speaks of an opulent yet weightless fragrance that leaves a luminous trail lingering with quiet elegance.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Molecule 01 + Champaca is the most floral of the M+ fragrances, yet never heavy. The champaca brings warmth and sheen, while the Iso E Super keeps it airy. A floral fragrance with a modern, transparent core.
