The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Escentric Molecules, Molecule 01 + Mandarin is a fragrance that captures the essence of citrus with a modern twist. Created by Geza Schoen, this composition opens with a bright and zesty mandarin note, which contrasts beautifully against a woody and musky base. The mandarin is not just a fleeting top note but continues to weave through the scent, enhancing its fruity and amber undertones, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
One spray is sufficient to capture the essence of Molecule 01 + Mandarin. The mandarin note is bright and noticeable initially, but it seamlessly blends with the musky base over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in the air, so apply directly on pulse points for a more intimate experience.
