Composition

Timeline

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 Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Molecule 01 + Iris is uncommonly versatile due to its airy, woody iris and powdery profile. The cool, clean character works beautifully in spring and autumn, while its light sillage and lack of sweetness mean it also shines in summer. In winter, its subtlety can feel underpowered unless layered.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its restrained projection and minimalist elegance make it nearly ideal for office and casual settings, where it reads as 'your skin but better.' For dates and formal events, it's more subdued but can appeal to those who appreciate understated sophistication. Less suitable for sports due to its subtlety.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Woody amber musk Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes from Iso E Super

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Molecule 01 + Iris fuses the gauzy, cedar-musk transparency of Iso E Super with a plush, creamy iris that feels both ethereal and tactile. The opening shimmers with cool, powdery root and faint citrus, gradually unfurling a silky, buttery iris that hovers just above the skin. Subtle green and mineral facets add airy freshness, while the drydown is a seamless blend of velvety woods and soft musk. It is minimalist yet addictive-clean, modern, and quietly magnetic. Projection is intimate but leaves a distinctive, elegant trail for those close enough to notice.
