Composition

Top note

Lemon opens the accord with a clean freshness and a sharp acidity. Its tart character brings a clear, tonic impression to the top of the composition.

Heart note

Iso E Super here pairs with ideas of wood, velvet and softness. Cedar evokes dry wood, the lead of a sharpened pencil and a resinous facet, alongside Iso E Super in the heart tier.

Base note

Musk grounds the composition with an enveloping warmth. It is paired with wood and an animalic, fleshy, felted facet, beneath the cedar and Iso E Super of the heart.

Woody family

Iso E Super and cedar carry the woody character of Molecule 01, reinforced by the woody facet paired with the musk. Woody notes rest on dry, resinous or velvety materials, evoking tree essences, while the lemon comes to brighten this base.

What the label says

Among the declared ingredients are alcohol denat., the denatured alcohol that serves as a solvent, and the term parfum, which groups under one name the full set of odorant materials in the concentrate.
