Description
Molecule 01 + Ginger by Escentric Molecules is a strikingly modern fragrance that fuses the iconic, silky Iso E Super molecule with a brilliantly natural dose of spicy, photorealistic ginger. This minimalist composition opens with a zesty, invigorating ginger note that delivers instant freshness and tactile energy, before receding into the comforting, woody-amber transparency of Iso E Super. The result is a clean, subtly woody scent with an intriguing spicy vibrancy that feels both energizing and intimate on the skin. Perfect for those who want an understated signature with a twist, this is a scent that adapts to the wearer, projecting discreetly while remaining endlessly magnetic. Created by Geza Schoen for unisex.

Iso E SuperAbout ESCENTRIC MOLECULES
Escentric Molecules is a well-established privately owned niche fragrance brand with a cult following for almost 20 years.

Perfumer
Geza Schoen
Perfumer Geza Schoen has a reputation as a rebel in the fragrance world.
In 2001, disillusioned with the industry’s increasing commercialisation, he resigned his job at fragrance manufacturers, H & R in Paris and moved to London. Here he met designers, Brian Kirkby and Zowie Broach of Boudicca, working with them over several years to create their fiercely individual scent, Wode.
It was in London, in 2006, that he launched Escentric Molecules: Often described as the ‘anti-fragrance fragrance brand’ Escentric Molecules confounded expectations to become an exponential success.
In 2009 he initiated The Beautiful Mind Series, working with outstanding women in different creative fields to construct fragrances dedicated to the power of the female mind. In 2017 he launched Project Renegades with friends and fellow-perfumers, Mark Buxton and Bertrand Duchaufour. Throughout his career Schoen has collaborated on conceptual projects such as Paper Passion, a fragrance with Steidl, Wallpaper* and Karl Lagerfeld; and worked with artists such as Wolfgang Georgsdorf, for whom he made 64 odours for Smeller, an olfactory organ that spectators can play like a piano to make aromascapes. In 2005 he returned to his native Germany where he lives and works in Berlin.
