Escentric Molecules' single-ingredient Molecule 01 is among the most beloved skin scents of all time and in 2023, the brand released three new M+ scents that combine the unusual ISO E Super with one of three individual notes—ginger, guaiac wood or black tea.
As the brand describes, "Iso E Super is an abstract synthetic molecule with a cedarwood tonality and a warm, velvety cocooning sensation." When combined with black tea, Molecule 01's warmth and sweetness takes on earthy and bitter notes. With ginger, the skin scent becomes fresh and spicy. Rounding out the new trio, Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood is full of warm, smoky and woody allure. Notably, Guaiac wood is said to have one of the best dry-downs in olfactory alchemy.
Skin scents are gaining popularity for their subtle and intimate nature and the unique enhancements they make to an individual's natural scent without being too strong.
