I’ll kick off this review with a slightly unusual, yet extremely captivating fragrance – Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules. What sets this perfume apart from the pack is its unique formulation. It’s a synthetic, molecule-based fragrance, developed around a single, solitary ingredient: ISO-E Super. Forget about your standard blend of varying natural and synthetic notes; here, we have a scent birthed from one unique compound.
Quick Facts:
Smell:
Now, diving into the heart of this review, what exactly does ISO-E Super in Molecule 01 smell like? It’s not quite what you’d expect from the usual fragrance lineup. This one’s a bit of an enigma. It presents itself as extremely light and almost ethereal – so much so that you might question its presence. But believe me, it’s there, quietly whispering its aroma, like a second skin amplifying your natural scent.
At times, it’s indistinctly pleasant, hovering on the fringes of perception. Yet, as you lean in, and your attention focuses, you may detect a delicate woody undertone. Molecule 01’s subtlety makes it an ideal choice for those in professions not typically associated with fragrance use – think dentists or doctors. This understated perfume transcends seasons and can confidently hold its own even on sweltering summer days.
Longevity:
ISO-E Super, the star component of Molecule 01, enjoys a solid reputation in the perfume industry as a powerful performance enhancer. On its own, it has a greater-than-average staying power. However, determining the exact longevity can be a tricky affair due to its innate subtlety.
Here’s a little secret for you: Molecule 01 serves as an excellent base to layer with other fragrances. A simple layering trick can elevate another fragrance’s longevity, imbuing it with a pleasantly transparent nuance. For a winning summertime combination, try pairing Molecule 01 with a crisp, citrusy fragrance.
