Description
Molecule 01 + Patchouli by Escentric Molecules offers a modern take on the classic patchouli note, blending the velvety-clean Iso E Super with two distinct patchouli extracts for a sophisticated yet effortless aura. This fragrance evokes a bohemian spirit reminiscent of the sixties and seventies, while remaining refreshingly contemporary and uplifting. The result is elegant, natural patchouli that is never overwhelming but always magnetic, perfect for self-expression and individuality. Its minimalist, skin-like presence adapts seamlessly to the wearer, leaving a subtle trail that intrigues others without ever overpowering. Created by Geza Schoen for unisex.

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.
