Molecule 01
Eau de Toilette
by Escentric Molecules

The Scoop
Aroma chemicals are used in virtually all modern fragrances to bring to recreate scents like jasmine or violet or cedar or a host of other familiar olfactory favorites. Molecule 01 is the first of its kind to pay homage to just one of these hidden delights—the not so sexy sounding Iso E Super. You know it as a sweet sandalwood/cedar-like smell…a base note prevalent in many legendary perfumes, and it finally gets to shine all on its own. The velvety woody note is highly sensitive to body chemistry and twists and turns as it evolves, enticing the wearer with an almost pheromone-like fascination. The science of scent is finally on display and is sure to delight those woody fragrance aficionados who love to venture forth and discover something devastatingly unique. There’s nothing like it in the world.

ORDER A SAMPLE FIRST! I see a lot of poor reviews due to not being able to get any scent from this fragrance - that's because a small percentage of people cannot smell the molecule that is the core of this fragrance, Iso E Super... most fragrances use only a bit, while this makes it a key ingredient. Your bottle is not defective - it's just that you literally, physically cannot smell the main ingredient! Sorry :(

I doused myself in it and could smell nothing but alcohol. I'm wondering if the scent is unstable, because there is nothing wrong with my nose- I've got 5 other samples here that work just fine.

I first smelled this scent on a colleague and loved it! When I tried it myself, I didn't think it smelled the same, but it turns out that you don't smell it on yourself, but those around you enjoy the scent! Every now and then I do catch a hint on myself. It is a light fragrance and is my new signature! I'm so glad that I found this perfume! I have tried many, but this one is a keeper!!!

This is a strange but lovely one for me. I don't particularly like the smell I get from sniffing my skin closely, but the aura of scent that surrounds me is really appealing to my nose. I've experience it in waves, and those waves are very soft edged and inviting.

This scent is definitely not for everyone, but it is wonderful for me. As a signature scent, this is perfect for me because it is distinctive and sexy, but light enough that it smells like your natural body scent, or maybe just your hair or skin. This is a perfect everyday scent, though I still keep something a little heavier around for evening events. Like the others said, it does come and go at the most unexpected moments, which can be kind of fun and sexy. If you're looking for something light and clean, but not citrus-y or cotton-y, this is the scent for you.

For me, this is a must have. Finally a signature scent. I get so many compliments when I wear this. Its like cedar but also like sandalwood. it just wafts around my skin, and I lightly smell the fragrance throughout the day. Lightly spicy. Somebody told me it smelled like a vacation in the country.

I am asking for a bottle for my birthday. The sample was gone in 4 days...couldn't get enough. My husband said, "that's the best of your samples - what is that?" I do not mean this in a bad way - but it kind of reminds me of clean, warm laundry; a hint of old-fashioned Downy.

This is an amazing perfume and I have worn it for 4 years now. People tell me they love it- it smells "relaxing", or "I always know its you in the building". Many many people ask what I am wearing and this never happens with other perfumes. BUT- I can't smell it!!!! All I know is that It feels like me, and not like perfume. It's the HG for me for sure!

I have worn many a perfume. I'm a fickle creature and have never had a "signature scent". I've owned this for some time and am drawn to it at times when I need comfort. I couldn't explain why that is, but it is. With my vast arsenal of lovely and exotic perfume bottles I have never had a stranger stop me dead to tell me how alluring I smell. Until the other day when I was wearing this. It's not overt or in your face. It's a nuance...a shade that lingers around you. Admittedly, my skin LOVES woody scents and amps them to no end, perhaps that's why this smells so inviting. But I went from liking it to loving it in short order.

I am a female. My boyfriend didn't even notice the scent. I find the scent to be woodsy and to smell like cedar. My female roommate thinks it smells absolutely phenomenal. Go figure! I'll try to rest of the tester and see what kinds of reactions I get. I'll definitely try it on my boyfriend again!

I can't ever smell this scent on me, yet many other people can. It has wierd reactions from people. Some say i small devine, while others have commented on the scent in the office (which happens to only ever happen when I wear it to the office) with "Is someone wearing frakenscence, it smells like church inscence". So not sure if it's a skin thing or the nose of others around you thing. If you're going to spend your cash on an Escentric scent I would purchase Escentric 01.

I find that only really short men wear this. And they bathe in it and otherwise, it does have a very faint smell. I think they should rename it Napolen.

This is hilarious; it´s the very nice smelling perfume version of The Emperors new clothes! Well done, Geza! I love all of his compositions and have them all, gs01-01, Woode and of course the Escentrics and Molecules. The biehl parfümkunstverke02 is ab absolute masterpiece and my hands down favourite - and also my gf´s choice for me.

I absolutely loved this scent on my guy, too. However, after he turned out to be the most dishonest person and was a cheater. I can never and hope to never smell this scent again because it reminds me of him. However, today two handsome men walked by me and both of them were wearing it. It's such a distinct and unique scent. It immediately made me hot and go back to their hotel with them... The tall one seduced me... we lounged by the pool all day and made love all night.

I may not be able to smell it on me all of the time but the people around me sure do. This scent is amazing. I can smell it on me and I like what I smell. I go outside and get no less than three or four random people telling me how much they love how I smell and what the scent is. I love hugs at the end of the night as most of my female friends come back for another hug and tell me how great I smell. People I meet for the first time remember me as the guy who smells great. This scent is amazing.

I can't imagine how much of this perfume people had to load on to get these marvelous reactions that they're describing. The initial smell was too faint to even get a proper handle on, but the drydown was, as I suppose should have been expected, the cedar blocks you put in your closet to repel moths (sandalwood sounds so much more exotic), except for a nasty two-hour period in the late afternoon when it went berserk and became reminiscent of Juicy Fruit, of all things. A friend of mine with completely different body chemistry tried it and didn't even get the cedar blocks out of it but said that there were a few times when she thought she smelled like candy. And by the evening, when I thought it was gone, it was; checked the boyfriend for backup and he couldn't smell a thing. I think this scent is more suggestion and hype than anything else.

This is really a stand out scent. Each and every time I wear it, women comment. I'm buying another bottle just to make sure it isn't discontinued or something before I run out of the current. I can see me and this scent for the next 20 years.

Add one more vote to the "Emperor's New Clothes" contingent. I got a sample and put it on, and I might as well have drizzled water on my arm. I tucked it into my pocket and went to work. Whenever I stuck my hand in my pocket, I was reminded of the vial, and I put more on. After a while, I could smell something very faint if I stuck my nose to my wrist and inhaled deeply. A very pleasant, fresh-air, line-dried sheets smell. But so FAINT. I finally asked someone. No, she did not smell anything. At home, before supper, I dumped the rest of the vial onto my chest and rubbed it around with my wrist. Now, I was wearing the entire sample bottle. During supper (cold chef's salad), my husband did not notice anything. After supper, I hugged him and asked if he smelled anything. No. I had him put his face right into my chest (he didn't mind) and yes, he finally could smell it. Very faint, very nice. Maybe I'll try it in winter, when my skin can 'bake' it inside a sweater...?

Folks! This is a very unique fragrance. It really is all that its cracked up to be. It has a nice musky/sandlewood scent. Its never overwhelming, it just sits close to the body and makes you want to keep smelling it. I'm straight and attractive and the ladies just love it! I repeat, they love it on me. It really is an "effect". The dry down is very nice and lasts a really long time. I'm not sure how some cannot smell it....maybe fragrances shouldn't be your passion if your sense of smell is so off.

Mike D - from Chicago

I got a sample of this scent, and several hours later after it settled into my skin I fell in love with it, and I ordered a whole bottle. It starts out very crisp woodsy on me, but after a few hours it turns warm and creamy woodsy. I can actually smell it on myself the whole time, and it lasted for a full 24 hours... How this scent smells on a person clearly has everything to do with individual chemistry... buy the sample before buying the whole bottle!

My fiance and I smelled this intoxicating scent at the airport and followed the poor woman so that we could find the name of it. We both wear the perfume and love it, however... when I wear it, I don't smell it but get HUNDREDS of compliments on the perfume and the constant attention of my fiance. And when he wears it, the same thing happens. I don't think this is a fragrance the wearer is supposed to enjoy but I LOVE IT!

I fell in love with Molecule 01 at the laundromat. I kept smelling the most intoxicating, warm, sweet, woodsy scent and I had to know where it was coming from. Finally, I tracked down the woman who was wearing it, and I now own my very own bottle. I have to admit, I was freaked out at first by the 'peek-a-boo' game this fragrance plays! When I cannot smell it, other people apparently can! However, I am very happy with its performance. Its lasting power is simply incredible. Even when I come home from the office at the end of the day, I am able to catch this scent in waves. I always get the most compliments when I wear this scent. It is certainly a favourite in my collection.

Molecule 01 is probably the most frustrating scent I have ever smelled (or tried to smell, I should say). I flat out adore its sister perfume, Escentric 01, which is 65% ISO E Super and so thought I would love this even more. Well, I was wrong. Molecule 01 is like spraying my arm with water that is VERY faintly scented with rubbing alcohol and cedar. And then I smell nothing. Hats off to whoever can smell this and the similarly elusive LesNezL’Antimatiere.

Whem I first sprayed it on I couldn't smell anything, BUT THEN... WAUW! Not TOO heavy, but spicy in a good sense. My boyfriend thought it was a fragrance for men - but no ITS MINE!!! Its not too girly, but not a mens fragrance either. Love it!!!

This fragrance rocks. Bought it and I like the sexy, spicy/musky woody fragrance it evokes on my skin. Wore it the other day and had numerous people stop and ask me what I was wearing. It lasts quite well on skin, actually so much so, that I can smell it on my clothes for days afterwards. Can't wait to try to the new molecule 2 range !

Do you know what this smells like to me? money. seriuosly. if you ever get a crisp 10 or 20 from the bank smell it...this perfume to me smells like money. i am used to perfumes not smelling great on me so i guess that i'm not upset that it doesn't work with my chemistry. interesting though, i think you would have to try it yourself to see how it reacts to your chemistry.

Wearing this I get more positive comments from strangers than ANY other scent. And this is from one with a fragrance wardrobe. It is a slight scent, though it seems to fill the room. Masculine, definately. Great longevity on me. Will keep this one in the wardrobe as long as they continue it.

I don't know about this stuff... it's interesting on an intellectual level, but is that primarily what I look for in a perfume? Not really. I can't comment on what it smells like, as I have never been able to smell it, and I have worn it three times on three separate days. However - here are the impressions I received: when I first put it on the first day, my husband said "Did you just put on some perfume? It's really strong" !!! I thought this was funny since I couldn't smell it at all. He said it smelled OK, "like a feminine woody smell". Walked around in it for 2 more days, got no comments, so finally asked a friend, and after much sniffing, she said she detected a very faint, pleasant ozonic smell - like clean mountain air. It's basicallly postmodern perfume - you can't smell it but others may. This kind of freaks me out, because I don't want to be walking around wearing something that to some people "smells really strong" when I can't even smell it - hard to judge how much to put on (I've only ever worn small dabs on wrists and inner elbows). Also, part of the pleasure of wearing perfume, for me, is being able to smell it myself, so this is not for me. Plus, $135 for 3.5 ounces of EDT is quite pricey for something that you and others may or may not even be able to smell. Hmmm. I don't mind paying top dollar for a quality fragrance I love, but this smacks a bit of the emperor's new clothes to me :(

Just got a sample of this. On first application, I caught a hint of pleasant cedar. After that, the scent seemed to just fade, and disappear.

Molecule 01 is exactly how a lot of other reviewers felt. It has a very addictive smell to it, when you can smell it. When you think the smell is gone it pops up out of nowhere. The fragrance also smells like it is constantly changing and you get whiffs of different notes. I'll be buying this quite soon! I wish it was in a parfum form however as it might make the fragrance more intense!

This is a such a unique and amazing fragrance. I received my sample and immediately was captivated by it. I have a drawer full of different fragrances (I'm a fragrance fanatic), but this is the most different, unusual, unique fragrance. I thought the staying power is great. Even at night after I applied that morning, my daughter says "You smell good". Hate that its so expensive but would probably be worth the investment if you're a true perfume lover.

Wow - I read with interest all the great comments about Molecule 01 and then received my sample. Mind blowing is all I can say. I put a small amount on before bed last night and when making my bed this morning I had the most gorgeous scent eminating from my sheets I simply cannot wait to go back to bed! It truly is such a pretty scent and now I am looking so forward to ordering my bottle. Can't wait to see my boyfriend tonight to see his reaction at it, it is all I have been talking about since I first came into contact with someone wearing it. I am making a special note to NOT tell him that I have the sample and that I am wearing it. He always makes comments on my fragrances so let's see if he notices how intruiging I smell tonight. A+ to Molecules 01 - a winner in my books.

At first I thought that I wouldn't like this as I couldn't smell a hint of anything from just sniffing the vile. I quickly changed my .mind after putting it on. Its a delightful dry woods scent that ebbed and flowed, dissappered and reappeared throughout the day. Long lasting - I would catch wiffs of it as a would wake throughout the night. Very soothing a sophisticated. I wish it came in a smaller bottle.

As others have noted, this is a very strange perfume indeed. I quite liked the woody, slightly spicy smell when I first applied it, but it seemed to vanish very quickly. I reapplied before going to bed, just to give it another chance. The following day, I went away for a long weekend. When I returned, my pillows and sheets smelled beautifully of cedarwood (for 10 minutes). I don't know if I will buy it, but it certainly is intriguing.

Emperors new clothes? That is what I thought when the shop assistant explained that this perfume didn't smell when you put it on but was guaranteed to attract the right mate? I dont know about that but it certainly caused a stir. Firstly my husband couldn't smell anything and several of the people I worked with couldn't smell anything either. I was starting to think that the hype was a gimick. Then I got a wiff and started to try and find where the smell was coming from but it went as soon as it came. Then strange things started to happen. Complete strangers would approach me to ask what perfume I was wearing and I caught a man trying to sniff me in a queue at the bank. Definately worth giving it a try and when you get a wiff of the smell yourself you will love it.

The whole point about this perfume is that you can't smell it! The molecule is so large that your sense of smell is blocked, however... when other people encounter you they can smell it (quite strongly) for a short time as well, until the same thing happens to them - it's amazing. Rest assured, you are perfumed, but the effect isn't inescapable (like [P]issy Miyake for instance)

I've tested this twice now and can't smell it at all. Not a thing. I've heard that some people can't smell certain musks, so perhaps Molecule 01 contains a musk or similar essence that I simply can't detect. Either that or it's the exact scent of the inside of my nose. Hmmm... (Rating it a 3 because it's not at all offensive, just not... THERE. For me.)
