From LO’s Parfum Intense collection, this is an amber with the darkness turned up to 11. There’s no white space here, just expensive raw materials piled high. Its vibrant opening with fruity notes is enriched by the bitterness of coffee, deepening into a powerful chorus of rose, iris, jasmine and lily of the valley. And this valley is a deep one, a soft black expanse of leather, nagarmotha and patchouli, cushioned by a dirtier-than-usual amber.

About Molecule 01 + Patchouli by Escentric Molecules

What makes Molecule 01 + Patchouli unique compared to other patchouli fragrances?
Molecule 01 + Patchouli combines patchouli with iso-e-super, a synthetic note that imparts a smooth, woody, and slightly ambergris-like transparency. This minimalistic approach contrasts with other patchouli fragrances that often blend multiple rich or spicy notes, making it more subtle and modern.
Can I expect a strong patchouli scent from these similar fragrances?
All featured fragrances include patchouli, but intensity varies. Some are richer and more pronounced, while others integrate patchouli with fresher or sweeter accords, so the patchouli may feel lighter or more blended.
Are these fragrances suitable for those who like the woody family?
Yes, all selections fall within or closely relate to the woody fragrance family, emphasising patchouli’s earthy and woody qualities, often combined with complementary woody, fresh, or resinous notes.
