Molecule 01 + Cistus by Escentric Molecules explores the captivating contrast between modern aroma molecules and natural resins. Created by perfumer Geza Schoen, the fragrance pairs the smooth, cedarwood-like warmth of Iso E Super with the rich, aromatic complexity of cistus absolute. Derived from the Mediterranean rock rose, cistus brings golden amber nuances, delicate sweetness, and a smoky, mineral character that adds depth to the composition.
As the fragrance develops, the resinous warmth of cistus reveals subtle leathery undertones, balanced by the airy, velvety softness of Iso E Super. The result is a sensual woody fragrance that feels surprisingly light despite its richness, leaving a warm, lingering impression on the skin. Distinctive yet effortlessly wearable, Molecule 01 + Cistus showcases the remarkable complexity that can emerge from just two ingredients.

Each aroma-molecule in the series 01, 02, 03 and 04 is explored in binary pairs:
Escentric fragrance – a formula

Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
