Ever since my introduction to Molecule 1 Escentic Molecules, I have been fascinated by the brand, many of their fragrances being my most worn and repurchased. Today is the turn of this incredible Escentric Molecules - Molecule + Discovery Set.
Featuring a total of 6 fragrances, they come in a variety of different scents and subtilties depending on your fragrance note of choice.
I have been working my way through each one of these 6 fragrances and each one being totally different, yet equally fabulous, not only does this Discovery Set make a great gift, it is also an incredible way to find your new fragrance for 2025.
Molecule 01 + Patchouli is a refined blend of Iso E Super and patchouli. Iso E Super is a cutting-edge synthetic molecule, celebrated for its abstract cedarwood-like aroma and a warm, velvety, cocooning effect. Patchouli, on the other hand, is a natural extract from the leaves of the patchouli plant, adding an earthy, woody depth to the composition.
At its heart is Iso E Super and when paired with patchouli coeur, a refined patchouli oil fraction that delivers a clean, soft, and contemporary profile. Enhanced by a touch of Indonesian patchouli, the fragrance achieves a nuanced and multidimensional character. Perfect for all-day wear, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking a fragrance that is both understated and enduring.
Molecule 01 + Iris is a harmonious blend of Iso E Super and iris, creating a fragrance that is both minimalist and captivating.
The essence of M+ Iris is fresh, refined, and fleetingly ethereal. The creamy, powdery sophistication of orris root intertwines seamlessly to highlight a subtle romance between the seductive warmth of Iso E Super and the understated luxury of iris absolute. Iris imparts a creamy, tactile powderiness and enhances the fragrance’s physical presence, transforming it into something you feel as much as you smell. If you’re captivated by scents that embody the softness and elegance of a cashmere sweater, M+ Iris is your perfect match.
Molecule 01 + Mandarin is a fragrance that beautifully merges the brilliance of nature with cutting-edge innovation. This distinctive scent combines the revolutionary Iso E Super molecule with the vibrant freshness of mandarin, delivering a refreshing yet warm olfactory experience.
Complemented by the natural zest of mandarin, it opens with an energizing burst of citrus brightness that uplifts and invigorates. As the fragrance develops, the mandarin's vivid freshness softens, giving way to the smooth, sensual depth of Iso E Super.
Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood is a captivating fragrance featuring smoky, woody notes. Warm and subtly sensual, this unisex eau de toilette is designed for anyone to enjoy, day or night. At its core is Iso E Super, which is beautifully paired with guaiac wood, derived from the heartwood of the palo santo tree, adding a rich, smoky depth to the composition.
Best described as being a comforting yet sophisticated profile, this scent evokes the cozy warmth of sipping whisky by a crackling fire, making it a perfect companion for colder days or intimate evenings.
Molecule 01 + Black Tea is a subtle yet intricate fragrance that balances earthy, fresh, and delicately floral notes. This unisex eau de toilette is versatile, making it ideal for any occasion, whether it's a busy day at the office or an evening out.
At its heart is a refined black tea accord, blending the richness of black tea extract with the herbal freshness of maté tea absolute which alongside the brand’s iconic Iso E Super they create a scent that is both captivating and elegantly understated.
Molecule 01 + Ginger is a fragrance that balances freshness and spice with effortless sophistication. Using the composition of the revolutionary Iso E Super alongside the vibrant zest of ginger extract, derived from the rhizome of the ginger plant, the scent exudes a fresh, punchy, zesty yet spicy energy that is both captivating and subtly seductive.
Molecule 01 + Ginger offers a clean, modern aroma with an intoxicating, aphrodisiac effect, making it a versatile and memorable fragrance choice for any occasion.
What I have loved about this Discovery Set is just how different each scent is, yet at the same time proving difficult to pick one which stands out. If you want punchy and zesty then Molecule 01 + Ginger ticks the boxes but at the same time so does Molecule 01 + Mandarin but in a different way. I just love that there is so many different choices in one box and fun to layer if you like to create a unique scent.
