The Scoop

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...

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.

By Freddy - None from Clovis on 8/15/2018

I was intrigued by the descriptions of this one, but it didn't work for me at all. Cedar closet. Artificial/chemical cedar closet. Slightly intriguing, and certainly different ... but this one went nowhere for me.

By Boring White Collar Guy - Attorney from Washington, DC on 4/6/2018

This scent is pure magic. After a few wears, you almost stop smelling it. I probably overcompensate for this by dousing myself with it liberally. But don't worry, it's never overwhelming even in high doses. I am reminded that others can indeed smell it because people compliment me on it about half the time I'm wearing it. It's a great perfume if you're not into a really strong scent but you still want to leave a pheromone trail in your wake.

By Susan - pilot from Seaside on 2/19/2018

Wow,,this is hard to explain. This, to me, is like the masculine version of Philosophy's "Amazing Grace" which is not high end, but one of my staple perfumes. Definitely woodsy & citrusy,,but light, like a cloud. I DID catch whiffs of myself throughout the day. This is a nice perfume that I hope to own one day..I think its Unisex & my husband liked it as well on me...

By Catskill Laura - Real Estate Broker from Margaretville on 1/9/2018

I came across Molecule 01 while shopping at Scent Bar and had the most unique introduction. The sales associate told me to apply a few sprays and then walk outside, walk around and then smell it before walking back inside. At first it smells like an indescribable chemical and progressively evolves - over several hours - into a most unique scent. It'll be unlike anything anyone else is wearing so do expect a lot of attention. I came in looking for Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanilla and ended up walking out with this - no regrets.

By Marc - Entertainment from Los Angeles on 12/19/2017

I love, love, love this scent!!! It's true you can't really smell it. I do pick up cedar. ..But...I layered it with Elizabeth and James Nirvana (just a little) and holy S%*T! I can't get through a day without someone asking what are you wearing, you smell amazing? If you like a sweet floral scent, this is not for you. Scents react individually according to our unique chemistry. My VP says something virtually every weekly meeting about my scent. She asked what I wore and now she wears it too! Love the stuff:)

By Jeannie - Director Healthcare Marketing from Tacoma, WA on 12/14/2017

WARNING: This stays on FOREVER, so be careful before you try it on. I sprayed some of this on my wrist when I was window shopping last night, and after showering and walking around a ton, I can still smell it on me. It's very green in a way that is a little too intense for me. The best way I can describe it is it smells like an art collector type who is really aggressively into Japanese minimalism. I'm normally into longevity in perfumes, but I like being able to choose how long they stay on via, say, soap, and I already wasn't into it. If you're into really strong, uniquely grassy smells with hardcore longevity, knock yourself out, but this isn't for me.

By Sarah - Human from New York on 11/20/2017

I came ame across Molecule 01. It sounded interesting, I loved the idea that it may smell a little different on each user. I have been wearing it for 2 weeks now and I love it so much. It took a week of wearing it daily for me to notice the scent on myself...which was a little tough on me, I am use to smelling my scent on my wrist throughout the day. I use 3 sprays. I spray my chest, back of my neck, and my wrist. I have had 3 people approach me "you smell so good, what IS that you are wearing" I am 46 and this has never happened to me. I get little whiffs of it through the day. On me it smells like a light woodsy/cedar scent...but it's so much more. Give this one a chance.
