Introducing Cologne One, a cologne reimagined by Escentric Molecules. Refreshing, refined, and gender-neutral. A modern, minimalist, endlessly fresh ode to the very idea of a gin and tonic.

A bright opening of lime and citrus meets the aromatic bite of juniper, evoking the clarity of gin. Warm, spiky ginger adds a gentle lift, while cool cucumber sharpens the freshness. In the heart, iris, hedione and rose form a quiet structural layer, supporting the radiance of the top notes without disturbing their lightness. The dry down of Ambroxan, Iso E Super and a soft trace of musk allows the freshness to linger, leaving a subtle impression of cleanliness and ease on the skin.

The fragrance lives in its top notes: juniper for the gin, lime and citrus for lift, a touch of bergamot and mandarin, a whisper of ginger for a delicate spiciness, and a hint of cucumber’s neutrality to enhance the crispness without becoming literal. It is freshness concentrated, transparent, and immediate.

The heart remains understated: iris, rose, and hadione offer just enough structure to support the top note, allowing the bright citrus and juniper to linger.

The dry down is linear, calm, and unobtrusive: Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and a trace of musk. Nothing competes, nothing distracts.

“We have a very different approach to fragrance, so our first cologne captures the very unique and wonderful freshness of a gin and tonic. I think it's quite new with that sort of freshness. It's the idea of the sparkling, effervescent gin and tonic first scent, this sort of your nose in the drink,” says perfumer Geza Schoen.

Cologne One is a cologne reimagined by Escentric Molecules: 15% concentration for lasting freshness without leaving an overwhelmingly fragrant impression. It is refreshing, refined, and gender-neutral. A modern, minimalist, endlessly fresh ode to the very idea of a gin and tonic.
