Molecule 01 + Champaca

Molecule 01 + Champaca is a study in contrast and balance, where minimalism and opulence meet. This fragrance is part of the Molecule + collection, in which the iconic Molecule 01 is enriched with one carefully chosen ingredient. In this case, that is champaca, one of the most precious and expressive floral absolutes in perfumery.

Champaca smells warm and floral, with a soft creamy undertone and a slight spiciness. The scent is full and rounded, without being fresh or sharp, and stays comfortably close to the skin. It is reminiscent of a mix of magnolia and jasmine, with a subtle fruity nuance and a tea-like warmth. In perfumes, champaca primarily adds depth and softness, similar to ylang-ylang but less sweet and less pronounced.

The composition consists of only two elements, yet unfolds surprisingly richly on the skin. Iso E Super forms the base: an abstract, woody molecule with a velvety-soft, warm, and almost weightless aura. The effect is intimate, as if the scent merges with the skin. Opposite this is champaca absolute, extracted from the red champaca blossom from India. This floral note is intense and layered, with facets reminiscent of jasmine and orange blossom, refined tea nuances, and a creamy softness that gradually unfolds.
