Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 M+ Ginger by Karl.
Geza Schöen, a perfumer renowned for his unique approach to scent creation, has said, “M+ Molecule is perfumery deconstructed. You don’t need dozens of ingredients to make a great fragrance. In fact, the opposite is true. Minimalism brings clarity.” This philosophy finds its embodiment in Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 M + Ginger, a fragrance that captivates with its simplicity and evokes the essence of natural purity.

“What’s striking about ginger is how it combines freshness and spiciness in one ingredient. I’ve always loved that, when I smelt this new ‘ginger oil fresh’ from the Ivory Coast, I knew I had to do Molecule 01 + Ginger. It’s so clean, so pure, with a sharp effervescent quality that plays beautifully in the landscape of Molecule 01.” – (Geza Schöen in a quote to Michelyn)
Ginger, sourced from the Ivory Coast, is the fizzy top note of Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 M+ Ginger. This single element, fresh and lively, carries an invigorating and distinctive spiciness. Paired with Molecule 01 (Iso E Super) the combination becomes an exploration of contrasts. Schöen’s description of the partnership as “perfumery’s version of a booster rocket” vividly conveys the dynamic synergy between the crisp, zesty ginger and the enveloping Molecule 01. This fusion results in a tactile experience that is best described as velvety and cocooning. The ginger’s natural freshness harmonizes with Iso E Super’s warmth, creating a sensory tapestry. The true beauty of Molecule 01 M+ Ginger lies in its purity. In a realm dominated by complex ingredients. Schöen’s vision for Molecule + is a demonstration to the brand’s commitment to minimalism, showcasing how a restrained approach to composition can offer clarity and depth that resonates profoundly this fragrance dares to strip away the layers, inviting us to explore the essence of singular materials.
