Molecule 02

Molecule 02 consists of the AMBROXAN™ molecule pure and single.

AMBROXAN™ has a subtle quality with a radiant, long-lasting drydown.

It is a crystal with a chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris. For centuries, ambergris was perhaps the most prized ingredient in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance exuded by the cachalot or sperm whale which only acquires its fine scent after a long maturation floating in the ocean. Ambergris is rarely found today and the 'amber' in a modern fragrance will be a laboratory-created equivalent of some of the aroma molecules that make up the fragrance. By far the best of these is the nature-identical molecule, AMBROXAN™.

Ambergris has always been appreciated for its refinement and sensuality. This quality continues in AMBROXAN™. "It has a fresh, almost mineral quality," says perfumer Geza Schoen, "that lingers in the drydown." (AMBROXAN™ was isolated from plant sources in 1950.)

Fragrance notes : The Molecule 02 eau de toilette is minimalist. It contains no fragrances, except for the aroma molecule AMBROXAN™. If you find the Molecule fragrances too subtle, you can try the Escentric fragrances, which always have a more powerful diffusion.

Ingredients : Alcohol denat, Parfum (fragrance), Aqua (water)
