Molecule 01 + Mandarin

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 + Mandarin

Molecule 01 + Mandarin pairs a radiant woody molecule with a juicy mandarin, and our version keeps that feel: a soft a juicy mandarin note over an airy woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Escentric Molecules added a juicy mandarin to its signature Iso E Super molecule, giving the clean woody base a distinctive new twist while keeping the minimalist, skin like character.

Our interpretation follows that idea. We keep a juicy mandarin and a touch of bergamot up top, let the radiant woody molecule carry the middle, and finish on a soft musk.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche minimalist scent sold at niche pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a clean, soft, skin like scent with a a juicy mandarin twist, without the niche price.
