Immerse yourself in the world of minimalist elegance with the fragrance Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 + Mandarin, where each note tells a story of modern perfumery.

This universal masterpiece, released in 2021, has become a fresh breath in the Escentric Molecules line, a brand that has overturned the perception of scents with its philosophy of simplicity and innovation.

Entering the M+ collection, it continues the tradition of experiments, adding a bright citrus note to the cult formula.

Identity and Release History: The fragrance Molecule 01 + Mandarin debuted in 2021 as part of the M+ collection, which expands the famous Molecule series with new accents.

This release reflects the brand Escentric Molecules' striving for constant renewal, offering fans fresh interpretations of classics.

Released in the format of eau de toilette, it emphasizes its light and accessible character, perfectly fitting into the trends of recent years for universal and casual scents.

Positioning and Wearability: As a unisex fragrance, Molecule 01 + Mandarin is created for everyone who values freedom of expression through perfumery.

Its middle trail leaves a subtle but memorable trace, making it ideal for daily wear – from office days to informal meetings.

For optimal effect, we recommend from 1 to 2 sprays on the skin to feel the warmth on the body, and from 2 to 3 sprays on clothing for a more persistent presence.

Thanks to the eau de toilette concentration, the fragrance unfolds softly, not overloading the sense of smell, and is suitable for warm seasons, giving a feeling of freshness and vigor.

Authors and Philosophy: Behind the creation of this intriguing fragrance is the visionary Geza Schoen, founder of Escentric Molecules, whose approach to perfumery as an art of minimalism has gained worldwide recognition.

His work on Molecule 01 + Mandarin demonstrates how simple molecules can be transformed into emotional experiences, strengthening the brand's reputation as a pioneer in niche perfumery.

This fragrance not only expands the Escentric Molecules portfolio but also inspires the community of perfume lovers to new discussions about what it means to be modern and refined.

Similar Fragrances and Further Selection: If you are enchanted by Molecule 01 + Mandarin, pay attention to other universal options such as Mancera Sicily with its sunny citrus, Juliette Has A Gun Moscow Mule for lovers of sparkling chords, or Chloé Chloé Rose Tangerine, combining tenderness and fruitiness.

Each of these fragrances offers a unique perspective on citrus and woody notes, helping to expand your perfumery palette.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance composition of Molecule 01 + Mandarin is built on a harmonious duet of two key notes that merge into a single whole, creating a modern and memorable impression.

At the center is the iconic molecule Iso E Super, known for its creamy, leathery, and slightly woody character, serving as a warm and cozy foundation.

To this, the juicy and refreshing note of Mandarin is added, bringing a bright citrus burst that enlivens the composition and makes it incredibly vibrant.

Together, these elements form a balanced chord where citrus freshness smoothly transitions into woody depth, reflecting the citrus and woody families, without a clear separation into top, middle, and base notes.

This minimalist pyramid emphasizes the brand's philosophy, proving that even simple ingredients can give rise to complex and emotional experiences, perfectly suited for those seeking something special and timeless.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

It turned out to be a pretty natural mandarin. But, honestly, it's not quite like the pulp of a ripe fruit. It's more like the feeling that someone nearby is peeling the zest and then enjoying the mandarin. In any case, it would be nice to have such a version for yourself

Mandarin, even in Africa, remains mandarin. The scent is a bit dusty, sweetish, as a juicy mandarin should be, with a bright citrus freshness. It reminded me of Infusion Mandarine Prada, but Prada's is still more interesting

The mandarin turned out really natural, without any chemicals, but! I already have Blue Sky Forever by Dolce & Gabbana with the most natural grapefruit, so I choose that one instead :) 🍊

Oh, tangerine! At first, it inspired me so much, I loved it! From the very beginning, I felt the freshness of tangerine pulp, without any excessive bitterness. But after a while, it became ordinary, like Molecule 01

"Molecule" simply doesn't register on me. I heard that "molecular" fragrances are something special, but it seems I'm out of luck. The sillage of this perfume is completely zero, and the mandarin note is just okay. The longevity of the fragrance also leaves much to be desired, the mandarin lasts a maximum of 1-2 hours. Total disappointment )

I don't know what to think. On one hand, it seems decent, but on the other - it raises doubts. It reminds me of Light Blue, which isn't very pleasing. The mandarin at the beginning is really good, but then everything boils down to something familiar, like Molecule 01 and LB. Some of these fragrances are even cheaper. Overall, I can't say I'm thrilled

This is simply AWFUL! The most ordinary of all M plus. Mandarin, yes, it's there, sweet, fresh, but there are plenty of such at a lower price. Nothing special, just another fragrance that leaves no impression
5/5

I'm really looking forward to this version. I don't perceive the classic molecule at all, but here they've added mandarin, so it should turn out to be something truly joyful. I wonder when we'll be able to try this new release

The mandarin in this fragrance feels too artificial, as if it was created in a lab. It's bright at first, but quickly loses its strength, in about an hour. Then everything transitions into the familiar woody note, which, by the way, I like much more than the initial accord. Overall, for me, the mandarin isn't needed here; the fragrance sounds better without it
4/5

This fragrance is a light and fresh citrus molecule, perfect for summer. It's truly refreshing and not overpowering. It opens with mandarin peel, which is juicy and slightly bitter, but that's pretty much it. Its longevity and sillage are decent. Overall, it's a simple and uncomplicated scent. If you're looking for something citrusy, there are more interesting options out there. But generally, for summer - it's a pretty good choice
5/5

Summer mandarin is just gorgeous! This isn't a New Year's scent, but a true tropical, ripe, and juicy one. The composition is delightful, full of life and vibrant on the skin, with a pleasant sweetness. Summer is almost here, its time has come! 🍊
4/5

This mandarin is simply magnificent. I feel like its fresh juice is enveloping me. Simply awesome! But here's the problem! Its scent disappears too quickly. Only 10 minutes pass, and that's it, I don't smell anything anymore. I don't even catch the fragrance molecules. That's why I took off one star 😔
4/5

What a shame that this mandarin, so bright and juicy, ends up in the company of a molecule that doesn't suit it at all. The tension between them is palpable, creating a strange duet. The warm, cheerful mandarin suddenly turns cold, and this coolness, supported by the molecule, sounds like something that can't be brought back. The woody-iris chill that remains afterwards evokes sadness and longing for what could have been
4/5

What a wonderful mandarin mood! 🍊 This fragrance is just perfect in summer, but in winter it seems too simple. At first, you feel a bright mandarin, and after a couple of hours, it seems to disappear, leaving only light woody notes 🌳
