MOLECULE 01 + CHAMPACA

The most minimal fragrance is a single aroma molecule: Molecule 01. The next most minimal adds 1 to 01: 01 + 1. This is Molecule +.

The M+ line adds +1 to Iso E Super, the super aroma molecule that turned the cloistered world of perfumery upside down.

Molecule 01 + Champaca consists of Iso E Super + Champaca.

Iso E Super is an abstract synthetic molecule characterised as a cedarwood note with a warm, woody, velvety cocooning sensation.

Champaca is an absolute extracted from the red champaca flower, found only in India. One of the most expensive ingredients in perfumery, champaca absolute is one of the richest and most faceted floral materials, with shades of jasmine and orange blossom, touches of tea, and a soft creaminess that unfolds in waves.

Together, Iso E Super and champaca form an unexpected harmony: the weightless transparency of Iso E Super against the intricate opulence of champaca. A radiant opening with hints of orange blossom brightness gives way to a lush, floral and woody heart, quietly intoxicating, before settling into the smooth woody embrace of Molecule 01.

I was overwhelmed when I first smelled champaca absolute with Molecule 01. Champaca absolute and Iso E Super form an amazing amalgamation, because they are very contrary. Champaca absolute has so many facets. It is so rich. There is so much happening within it. The complexity of champaca absolute complements Iso E Super exceptionally well. Iso E Super has very woody yet transparent, velvety and cocooning aspects, while champaca brings complexity and multiple olfactory sensations, says Geza Schoen.

M+ Champaca is an opulent yet weightless fragrance, where the multidimensional facets of champaca intertwine with the velvety ease of Iso E Super, leaving a luminous and luxurious trail that lingers with quiet elegance.
