The combination of ISO E Super and Pachulí in Molecule 01 + Patchouli is a masterful fusion of the synthetic and the natural, a symphony of contrasts that are intertwined to create a unique fragrance. ISO E Super, a synthetic molecule known to its cedar wood note, provides a warm and velvety sensation, evoking the softness of the skin and the sun's heat on an autumn day. This note, although abstract, has an enveloping and family quality that makes it extremely attractive and versatile in modern perfumery. On the other hand, the Patchouli, with its natural origin in the leaves of the homonymous plant, provides a terrocous and beloved dimension that anchors the fragrance in nature, giving it depth and character.

Geza Schoen, the perfumer behind this creation, highlights the singularity of the patchouli as an ingredient. Unlike many other components of perfumes, the Patchouli is intrinsically linked to a specific era, evoking the 1960s and seventies and the bohemian spirit of those times. This historical association gives it an additional layer of meaning and nostalgia, making the fragrance not only an olfactory experience but also an emotional connection with the past. Schoen appreciates the patchouli for its melancholic beauty, a characteristic that manifests itself in its beloved freshness and its slightly distant character, attributes that are at the heart of this composition.

In the creation of Molecule 01 + Patchouli, Schoen has employed two different qualities of Patchulí to achieve a perfect balance. Most of the fragrance is composed of Patchouli Coeur, a fraction of patchouli oil that has been cleaned from its initial note similar to camphor. This refinement process produces a soft and clean aroma that is less invasive and more enjoyable for the user. This election emphasizes Schoen's intention to create a sophisticated and accessible fragrance, without sacrificing the complexity and depth of the original patchouli.

In addition, Schoen has included an Indonesian patchouli oil to add a more robust and authentic output note. This addition not only rounds the fragrance, but also introduces an element of authenticity and wealth that complements the abstract character of ISO e super. The combination of these two types of patchouli creates a dynamic interaction between the refined purity of Patchouli Coeur and the raw and earthy nature of Indonesian oil, resulting in a fragrance that is both clean and evocative.

The use of ISO E super in this fragrance is not accidental. This synthetic molecule has a unique ability to interact with the skin, creating an olfactory experience that is both intimate and expansive. Your cedar note provides a warmth that involves the user, while its abstract nature allows other ingredients to shine in the whole. In combination with the Patchouli, ISO E super acts as a framework that enhances and amplifies the inherent characteristics of the natural ingredient, creating a synergy that is more than the sum of its parts.

The final result is a fragrance that challenges the conventions and offers a distinctive and memorable olfactory experience. The cleanliness and sophistication of the Patchouli, combined with the warmth and softness of ISO E super, create a duality that is both modern and timeless. This creation of GEZA SCHOEN is a testimony of its ability to innovate and experience within the limits of perfumery, offering a fragrance that is as universal as universal in its attractiveness.
