A fragrance born from royal archives and reimagined by Geza Schoen, the visionary behind Molecule 01. 1872 For Men is not just a perfume — it’s a time machine in citrus, a neo-classical fougère that fuses Victorian elegance with molecular modernism.
This GCMS-based version reveals a high-fidelity orchestration of naturals and synthetics: a citrus–aromatic overture layered over resins, musks, and woods, with Schoen’s signature transparency and tension.
It opens with a citrus fanfare: 🍋 lemon, bergamot, lime, pink grapefruit, and mandarin — sharpened by petitgrain, galbanum, and clary sage. The effect is sparkling and green, like a gin & tonic poured over crushed herbs.
The heart is floral–aromatic: jasmine, neroli, lavandin, freesia, tagetes, and Roman chamomile — lifted by hedione, florol, and magnolan. It’s not soft — it’s structured, like a linen suit in motion.
The base is where the modernity hums: Iso E Super, Ambrofix, Cedramber, galaxolide, ambrettolide, and musk ketone — a clean, radiant trail anchored by patchouli, frankincense, benzoin, and cistus. A whisper of tonka, vanilla, and styrax adds warmth without weight.
This is not a nostalgic cologne. It’s a steampunk chypre — built with 19th-century elegance and 21st-century molecules.
