Molecule 01 + Ginger

Molecule 01 + Ginger encapsulates a daring yet minimalist approach to perfumery, combining the enigmatic allure of Iso E Super with the vibrant energy of ginger. This fragrance, part of the innovative M+ series by Geza Schoen, is designed to challenge and delight the senses with its unique blend of simplicity and complexity.

Iso E Super, the base of this fragrance, is renowned for its smooth, cedarwood-like aroma that provides a warm, velvety, and cocooning sensation. This synthetic molecule is celebrated for its ability to merge subtly with the wearer's natural scent, creating a deeply personal and resonant fragrance experience that is both comforting and enveloping.

The addition of ginger introduces a dynamic contrast to the smoothness of Iso E Super. Extracted from the rhizome of the ginger plant, ginger brings a fresh and spicy scent profile that is both invigorating and warm. This natural essence is known for its crisp zestiness and peppery spiciness, offering a burst of energy that complements the underlying warmth of Iso E Super perfectly.

Geza Schoen's choice of ginger in this fragrance involved selecting a 'ginger oil fresh' from the Ivory Coast, notable for its vibrant freshness, and a CO2 ginger extract from China, which provides a smoother, sweetly aromatic ginger note. This combination enhances the fragrance with what Schoen describes as "neon fresh" qualities—sharp, clean, and effervescent.

Molecule 01 + Ginger stands out for its radical simplicity and the striking way it combines the contrasting facets of its ingredients. The ginger adds a lurid yellow, punchy freshness that energizes the more subdued, velvety backdrop of Iso E Super. This interplay creates a fragrance that is both familiar in its individual scents and innovative in its overall composition.
