Molecule 01 + Patchouli beautifully marries the modern sophistication of Iso E Super with the classic, earthy depth of patchouli, creating a fragrance that is both contemporary and richly nostalgic. This unique combination by Geza Schoen reinterprets patchouli’s traditional associations with the bohemian spirit of the sixties and seventies, offering a refined and elegant scent experience.
Iso E Super forms the base of this fragrance, known for its warm, velvety qualities that resemble cedarwood but with a more abstract and enveloping touch. This synthetic molecule is celebrated for its ability to blend subtly with the wearer's natural scent, creating a deeply personal aroma that is both comforting and alluring. Its smooth, almost skin-like presence makes it an ideal foundation for the more distinctive notes of patchouli.
Patchouli is renowned for its rich, earthy aroma and is a staple in many perfumes for its robust profile and excellent longevity. To refine the traditional patchouli scent, Schoen selects two different qualities of the essential oil. The primary component, Patchouli Coeur, is a cleaner and softer fraction of patchouli oil, from which the more pungent, camphor-like top notes have been removed. This choice ensures that the patchouli's characteristically intense earthiness is presented in a more subdued and sophisticated manner. To complement this, a patchouli oil from Indonesia is added, reintroducing a hint of the original sharpness to provide balance and depth, enhancing the overall complexity of the fragrance.
The combination of these two types of patchouli with Iso E Super results in Molecule 01 + Patchouli—a fragrance that is both modern and evocative of a distinct era. The clean, soft qualities of Patchouli Coeur harmonize with the abstract woodiness of Iso E Super, creating a sophisticated, moody beauty that is uniquely alluring. This patchouli is not overwhelming but rather a refined reinterpretation that appeals to contemporary sensibilities while still nodding to its rich history.
