When it comes to minimal fragrance, Molecule 01 is a single, silky-smooth aroma-molecule that feels like second skin. Then comes its next evolution: Molecule +. Add one to 01, and you get a new olfactory equation. This time? 01 + Cistus.
Let’s decode the magic:
Iso E Super is that abstract, woody molecule everyone secretly loves. It’s has soft cedarwood vibes, velvety warmth, and a cozy, “come a little closer” energy. Pair it with Cistus, the golden resin tapped from wild Mediterranean shrubs, and you’ve got something hypnotic. Imagine sunlit amber, smoky undertones, and a bit of leather that lingers on the skin. It’s minimalism, but with attitude I love.
Perfumer and Escentric Molecules co-founder Geza Schoen says it best: “Cistus is one of the supra accords; it’s powerful. We use 4% Cistus absolute a lot! That’s why you smell it all the way through. It gives this leathery, sweet-salty depth that just lasts. When I paired it with Iso E Super, the result was beautiful.”
M+ Cistus is a fragrance of contrasts. A little sweet yet leathery, smooth yet raw, Actually, just impossible to ignore.(100 ML | €165)
