Countless fragrance lovers have fallen for the almost irresistible pull of Molecule 01, which featured the subtly warm and velvety aromachemical Iso E Super to cocoon the wearer in a near-invisible aura of chic and seductive scent. M+ is the continuation of perfumer Geza Schoen's gift for impactful minimalism, an imagining of a unforgettable dance between Iso E Super and just one other beautiful, carefully chosen ingredient.

Molecule 01 + Mandarin is a brilliantly simple pairing that launches off the skin from the first spray with the instant hit of vibrant, zesty, natural mandarin orange in all its mouthwatering aromatic juiciness. A touch of synthetic magic keeps the juiciness alive as Iso E Super's woodsiness emerges, a rare meeting between top and base notes with no intermediary, coaxing unexpected woodiness from the citrus and intriguing sweetness from the woodsy aromachemical. As the mandarin fades, M01 lovers are left with a delightfully subtle variation of the original classic, a woodsy cocoon still glowing with a light kiss of citrus. Spray M01 + Mandarin on and try not to smile- we dare you.

Here's what other people are saying about Molecule 01 + Mandarin...

Mandarin perfection!! I received a sample of this with my recent purchase. The mandarin is SO fresh and SO realistic! One of my absolute favorite smells in the world is when you are peeling a fresh orange. This nails that! It’s more refined than a mandarin essential oil, but still has that realistic bright zest scent. This will be perfect in the summer or layered with something woody/smoky in winter. Absolutely full bottle worthy!

Disappointing, I am a fan of other pieces of the M+ line, and found this to pale in comparison. My issue of course is not with the sillage or longetivity, both things that are noted far more by others than myself, but with the actual scent itself. Based on other reviewers' opinions and my expectation going into this (especially as I am a fan of 01 and have enjoyed 01 + Iris, 01 + Patchouli, 01 + Black Tea), I was sorely disappointed to have the "Mandarin" be more alike to a powdery Flintstones vitamin. I'd describe it as orange (the color, not the fruit).

Loved this scent at first sight! Very summery and fresh and uplifting. I wouldn't place it under men's fragrances, it is a genuine unisex. No sillage at all. I had to use 10 sprays to make it linger a little longer. I tried to sill it with other perfume like Molecule 01 or Le Labo Cedrat but the mix spoils both fragrances. So, I would say it is too overpriced because of lack of longevity. It doesn't stay on clothes either, but this is a good things :-) You can lay whatever you want over it. But the scent itself is wonderful. I will wait to see how it behaves in winter and will report back. Maybe natural wool will be a good capturing agent :-) Otherwise, a perfect pick for lovers of intimate mandarin citrusy straightforward smell.

My favorite summer scent! The mandarin note is so fresh, so tangy, it's like a scentshot of that moment when you bite into a mandarin and splash juice everywhere. And all that layered over the creamy, alluring Molecule base. Mmm. You'll think it's gone so quickly, but no - people will be complimenting you all day long.

I received a sample of this after buying M01. The citrus in this is mouth watering sometimes. Its almost like you scrubbed your skin with oranges. Even when I thought the scent was gone, people still caught whiffs of it as I walked by or stood around. Received many compliments from the ladies and a few guys even stopped me to ask what I was wearing. Will definitely be buying more May be worth noting I mixed this with a little Black phantom by Kilian

I love citrus fragrances and mandarin. This one is fabulous.. and lasts a lot, too.

By Carlo - Designer from Panama on 1/28/2022

I absolutely adore mandarin, and you definitely get a really good mandarin scent when you first spray this. It's very citrusy and fresh with the warm base of Molecule 01. After about 15 minutes it does fade off a little bit but you still get a little bit of sweet warmth from it, with the citrus being more of an intimate skin scent in the dry down. I think this would probably perform better in warm weather, and I also found it works really well as a base to layer another fragrance on top of, adding a bit of musky warmth to whatever you wear over it.

By Theo - Plant Operator from Adelaide on 10/2/2021

I adore this fragrance, but it has no silage on my skin. It seems to linger for about 10 minutes and then just drifts away into the citrus netherworld.

By Leslie - Bookseller from West Palm Beach on 8/12/2021

I really love this perfume! It’s light and clean and inviting. The only thing in 5 minutes or less whoosh it’s gone!

By ShellbytheSea - Mamacita extraordinaire from Florida on 7/1/2021

smells like I cut a lemon in half and am holding it a few inches infront of my nose. Not bad but too faint. Try BDK Citrus Riviera instead.

By Mike - windows from vacaville on 5/25/2021

I’m obsessed with this new Mandarin scent!!! I already know it will be my summer fragrance. I’m a Molecule 01 lover but was looking for a sweeter summer scent...needless to say I have found it!

By Jasmine - Admin assistant from Sacramento on 5/24/2021

I just peeled a mandarin orange and it sprayed its brightness all over my clothing and hair. This is Molecule 01 Mandarin. Very natural and believable. Summer with fruit.
