Escentric Molecules Molecule 01, Mandarin
A Minimalist Citrus-Dance Around Your Skin
Introduced in 2021, Molecule 01 + Mandarin is part of Escentric Molecules’ minimalist M+ series by Geza Schön. It pairs the house’s iconic Iso E Super molecule with vibrant mandarin, offering an intimate, skin-hugging scent that evolves from a zesty opening into a softly warm, woody embrace.
Fragrance Notes
-
Primary Accord: Iso E Super + Mandarin
Pure, elegant Iso E Super known for its velvety, cedar-like warmth meets bright, juicy mandarin for a compelling duet. The citrus topnote gradually gives way, leaving the smooth signature suede-woodiness of Iso E Super.
Performance & Scent Profile
Opening: A radiant burst of realistic, mouthwatering mandarin that commands attention with its vibrant freshness.
Dry Down: As the mandarin gently fades, Iso E Super emerges embracing skin with a warm, cozy woody-velvet undertone that lingers subtly.
Structure: No intermediaries just an artful “dance” of top and base notes, shifting gracefully from citrus to a minimalist skin scent.
Community Impressions
A user on Fragrantica said it “smells exactly like rubbing a mandarin on my skin” and praised its photorealistic freshness that can linger up to 15 hours.
Others described it as uplifting, sunny, and perfect for inoffensive everyday wear or even the gym.
The fragrance has been called “bright, clean, and uplifting,” with a soft, woody aura that’s subtly magnetic.
When & Where to Wear
Seasons: Spring, Summer, Early Fall especially suited to warmer days when bright freshness shines.
Occasions: Ideal for daytime use, casual settings, and environments where light, refreshing elegance is desired without announcing itself loudly.
Why You’ll Love It
Delightfully minimal yet expressive a true play of one real ingredient and one molecule, evolving beautifully over wear.
Skin-level intimacy comfortable, subtle, and perfect for layering or for when you want to scent your presence rather than broadcast it.
Modern and summery makes for a refined citrus choice that avoids being generic or overpowering.
Compliment-worthy simplicity an easy scent that feels inviting and nuanced, not heavy or fussy.
