Molecule 01 is unlike anything you will ever wear. It is one of the most mysteriously alluring scents wrapped in simplicity. For us, the phenomenon of Molecule 01 came completely out of left field. When we first encountered it in 2005, our first impression was that we couldn't smell a thing. We weren't sure what to think, but we wore it just as the description urged us to do, and didn't really notice the subtle scent on ourselves. The response from others, however, was undeniable. Each time we wore it, somebody would ask what we were wearing. It was astonishing how predictably this occurred.

Molecule 01 is an aroma chemical, which are used in virtually all modern fragrances to recreate scents like jasmine or cedar or a host of other familiar olfactory favorites. This fragrance, however, is the first to to pay homage to Iso E Super, which you probably know as a sweet sandalwood/cedar-like smell. Because Molecule 01 is an aroma chemical rather than a perfume, it behaves differently. You have to wear it to understand it. If you have a bottle Molecule and feel that it smells of nothing, be patient. Keep using it. The velvety woody note is highly sensitive to body chemistry and twists and turns as it evolves, combining with the wearers' own natural scent to create an extraordinary alluring quality. The science of scent is truly on display and is sure to delight those woody fragrance aficionados who love to venture forth and discover something devastatingly unique. A true phenomenon in its own right.

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

This is so interesting. It was a random sample from luckyscent so I didn’t have any expectations. It smells like a…fancy dryer sheet. Clean and lovely. I can’t get enough of it.

I would love to tell you what I thought of this scent, unfortunately Luckyscent took my money and has not sent my scent. They won’t answer my emails either.

It smells fine. Its in the same vein as afterbath splashes that I use and enjoy. And never sleep on a good afterbath splash.

By A Woman - Wrist Sniffer from New York on 7/20/2021

My favorite fragrance of all time. It seems very dependent on body chemistry - on my skin and clothes it’s very lasting, unlike others I CAN smell it myself, and this is also the only fragrance I’ve worn that regularly gets appreciative comments from strangers. The scent is hard to categorize, but I never get tired of it, and nothing else compares. This one you probably have to try on your own skin to know.

By Mary - Professor from Cambridge on 5/20/2021

I wear this fragrance daily as a base/general scent & sometimes spray another scent over top of it. It's just a wonderful scent...

I had to write a review. I got this out of curiosity and rave reviews. It was just as they said smells like nothing to me. I like to put on a cologne and enjoy it myself. This one, nothing I would think I had forgot to put anything on. I started wearing it to the gym just to get rid of it lol. I have had so many people comment on how good I smell, even a girl at the grocery store who I didn't even know stopped and asked me how I smell so good. A girl in the coffee line with her BF asked about it and if she could give me a hug! Her BF didn't seem so pleased.

I love this one; it does take a while to develop but then it's just a light airy scent of space. subtle. Be aware that some people are sensitive to it though; not as much as many other fragrances but easy to forget since you won't smell it on yourself.

By Anonisme - Business from Boston on 11/8/2020

Every single time I wear this I get compliments from both women and men. It’s subtle enough that I wear it everyday. Will purchase again.

By Lyndsay - Apparel Designer from Salt Lake City on 4/18/2020

Love The light cedar scent of this fragrance. It's my everyday fragrance for now. I wish it would last longer. This scent is a great Spring/ Summer scent, or for someone that lives in year-round warm weather, and loves the scent of light cedar.

By Sandra Smith - Pet Stylist from New Jersey on 3/23/2020

A light scent that came and left. Trippy one. Giving it 5 stars but I think the atomizer is a little cheap....or maybe I'm a strong lady :) it sprayed okay the first 2 sprays and then something went wrong and it leaks out of base of the top.

By Masina - Server from Sunrise on 3/15/2020

My favorite! I love Lucky Scent too!!

By bkp - flight attendant from NYC on 3/9/2020

Every time I wore this scent I would get compliments from strangers. the supermarket, dentist's office. it wasn't my favorite but apparently everyone else loved it.

By Heatherjoy - fur mom and eternal student from Plantation on 2/6/2020

I used this product and I love the scent but it did not last on my skin. I thought that because I ordered it online that perhaps someone had watered it down. I have ordered the tester on line and I tried it before ordering the bottle and the tester definitely lasted longer than what was in the bottle.

By Natalie - buisness owner from Rchmond Hill on 11/26/2019

Okay I’ve worn this for 5 years straight. About 3 months ago something changed in the way it’s made I don’t know who told them to change it??? Anyway I’m back cause I miss it I’m hoping that these months away will make a difference I adore this stuff!!!

By Diane - Educator from Dallas on 11/10/2019

I did get a sense that it was a “layer” or function of fragrance, rather than a whole fragrance in and of itself. Unlike “The Nue” (“functional” fragrance I”m also trying, which I love and which interacts well with my natural chemistry/scent), this is (although pleasant) not a complete experience for me, nor does it last long. Being a middle-aged woman going through all manner of body changes and pain management with its accompanying prescription meds, it’s difficult to find a fragrance that works well as a match rather than a mask/cover. This was benign yet I found unrewarding. Probably works much better for younger women and those with sensitive fragrance palates.

By Emily - Military from Washington DC on 6/3/2019

I'm sensitive to strong scents, so this is perfect. I layer with JScent Hydrangea on my neck and once they settle, I can't get enough of the combo. I pick up wafts of creamy powdery sweetness and fresh clean skin. I'm a no-nonsense no-makeup gal, this is the first perfume to make me feel foxy and naturally pretty. The cedar note is very faint on me, more sandalwoody, Downsides: Little sillage on me. No comments from passerbys about the scent after a week of wearing. Lasts maybe 3 hours with 2 sprays. Easily overpowered by competing scents nearby.

By SensitiveNose - Manager from Los Angeles on 3/29/2019

I could smell the faintest hint of a light woody scent on my wrists and my boyfriend said I smelled fantastic, but it is how everyone describes, meaning you just wear it and hope for a good reaction from the people around you even though you can't smell much yourself. I have the discovery set from this company so I'm interested to try them all out and see how they work. I'll probably wear this one a few days in a row and see if I get any comments from co-workers and my cooking students.

By Keila - Chef from Vancouver on 3/4/2019

Fabulous! Bought a bottle within a week at the local shop and LOVE it. Works both day and night, it's light enough but alluring. Make me feel sexy.

By Daria - writer from Denver on 11/27/2018

Love the scent. In my top 3 favorite. A client comes in smelling so good. I finally caved and payed the price for this and am so glad I did! It reminds me of fabric softener or laundry detergent which I love the smell of but this is lighter than that. Perfect for what I like. Lots of other people freak out loving this smell too.

By Samara - Hair stylist from San Antonio on 9/12/2018

Amazing woody / pepper scent with 2-3 sprays (2 on wrist, 1 on neck) . The scent comes and goes , so it doesn't really stick to you depending on where you're at. Be VERY careful , because it can be extremeley powerful in some places . Someone I was sitting next to in class started sneezing like crazy because of this. But it did die down after a few minutes.
