The most minimal fragrance is a single aroma-molecule: Molecule
01.
The next most minimal adds 1 to 01: 01 + 1. This is Molecule +.
Molecule 01 + Cistus consists of Iso E Super + Cistus.
Iso E Super is an abstract synthetic molecule with a cedarwood
tonality and a warm, velvety cocooning sensation. It is one of
those scents that makes you want to nestle into it. Cistus is
derived from the resin of the Mediterranean Cistus ladanifer shrub,
with a warm, resinous, and slightly smoky aroma.
In Molecule 01 + Cistus, Iso E Super meets the raw sensuality of
Cistus. The result? Radiant depth. A haze of warmth, sheer and
lasting. Cistus is a note that lingers like heat on the skin.
Cistus is resin tapped from a wild Mediterranean shrub. Sticky,
golden, intense. It smells of labdanum but brighter – amber with a
sunlit edge. Smoky, mineral, with leathery undertones that ground
the sweetness.
"Cistus is a cut of labdanum, a plant which grows everywhere in the
Mediterranean, which we've also used in Escentric 05 for that
alternative summer impression. Here, with M+ Cistus, it gives you
this particular leatheriness with all its sweet and salty aspects.
We use 4% of that Cistus absolute. That's a lot, which is why you
can smell it throughout the fragrance from top to bottom. Cistus is
one of the supra accords; it's powerful. For people who like strong
expressions, you can't go wrong with it."
"When pairing just one ingredient with Iso E Super, it's hard to
tell what happens. This stuff is really a miracle. And with Cistus,
I thought the result was beautiful," says Geza Schoen, co-founder
and master perfumer at Escentric Molecules.
The latest M+ offering, M+ Cistus, is a study in contrast - sweet
and leathery, smooth and animalic, quiet and insistent.
