The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Escentric Molecules, Molecule 01 + Cistus is a Woody fragrance that delves into the complex qualities of cistus labdanum. Perfumer Geza Schoen has crafted this composition to amplify the balsamic and slightly animalic qualities of its core molecule, enveloping it in layers of amber, musk, and woody undertones. The result is a scent that feels both intimate and expansive, grounding you with its rich warmth while maintaining a subtle complexity.
Given its long-lasting nature, apply Molecule 01 + Cistus sparingly. A single spray to each wrist is sufficient; it blooms gradually on the skin over time. This fragrance reads better close to the body rather than filling a room, so avoid layering heavily for an optimal experience.
