Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The brisk, airy black tea and Iso E Super make this ideal for spring and early summer, feeling crisp, green, and uplifting, while the earthy-woody undertones offer comfort in fall. Lacks sweetness and density for true winter wear.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

The minimal, transparent profile and moderate projection make it perfect for office and casual settings, never overwhelming or cloying. Its clean tea character feels versatile but may be too understated for formal events or active sports.

About

Molecule 01 + Black Tea is a serene, hyperrealistic portrait of dry black tea leaves, brisk citruses, and airy woods. It opens with an invigorating hint of lemon and bergamot, quickly settling into a translucent blend of earthy, gently smoky black tea and soft, cedar-toned Iso E Super. Maté and hay add herbal nuance, while faint dried fruits and anise lend subtle complexity. The overall effect is green, ozonic, and musky-like sipping iced tea in a sunlit spa, wrapped in a cashmere throw. Intimate, linear, and quietly magnetic, it stays close to the skin, perfect for moments of stillness or understated elegance.
