What is a molecular perfume?
Molecular perfumes are revolutionary in the world of fragrances, offering a unique experience that adapts to the wearer. In this story, we explain a molecular perfume and how it works, and introduce several molecular scents from the Skins collection.
What are molecular perfumes?
Molecular perfumes stand out due to their composition, which consists of one molecule or a few molecules, instead of various scent ingredients. These molecules react to the wearer's skin chemistry, causing each perfume to smell subtly different on everyone. This makes molecular perfumes exceptionally personal and ensures they adapt to your unique scent.
The invisible scent
One of the best-known molecular scents is Molecule 01 from Escentric Molecules. A common question is: "Why can't I smell Molecule 01?" The scent comprises just one ingredient, Iso E Super, and thus cannot be considered an eau de parfum or eau de toilette. Iso E Super is a colourless, synthetic liquid — an ingredient that sometimes remains invisible until it unexpectedly reappears. This phenomenon is known as 'olfactory fatigue', where you temporarily become insensitive to a scent you often smell.
Skins Expert tip: enhance the scent of Molecule 01 by layering it with your other favourite perfumes.
The aroma of Molecule 01
What does Molecule 01 smell like? The answer is versatile because it can be different for everyone. Generally, it is described as a soft, velvety wood scent that blends with the skin's natural scent, creating a unique symphony of aromas. This scent is subtle, yet intriguing and layered — perfect for any occasion.
