While its sister scent Molecule 02 is built around the single note of ambroxan (the manmade equivalent of costly natural ambergris), Escentric 02 blends the note with vetiver and the cruelty-free musk imposter muscone. Add just a touch of orris, elderflower extract and the sunny, jasmine-like feel of hedione and it's light, refreshing and yes, even brisk fragrance that sparkles and enchants from beginning to end. It's the kind of brisk you think of when smelling a freshly poured gin and tonic over lots and lots of ice, only Escentric has a fascinating mineral-like finish that amps things up to super spectacular. It's a wear anytime, go anywhere type of scent with a very relaxed, unassuming nature…utterly at ease, totally uncomplicated and easy going, we find ourselves reaching for it over and over when everything else just seems not quite right that day. This one's too rich for the office, that one's too citrusy today, I'm not in a patchouli mood…ahhh, here's the perfect one! Escentric 02 fits the bill every time.

At first spray, it almost smells like a gin and tonic with a twist. For years I wore Juliette Has a Gun, Not A Perfume (which is just a single backnote). I love Escentric 02 - it's just a little more complex but still has the subtle sillage I've come to love. As an actress, it is important for me to really only wear subtlest of scents when I am working and this is one that I love so much. I also like to layer it with Hilde Soliani's Sale e Pepe.

Wow, an amazing fragrance! It makes you feel so sophisticated and refreshed. It's the kind of scent that will stick with you and make you feel positive all day long.

By Gil - Entrepreneur from Miami on 10/31/2023

Bright and clean! Fresh and delicate scent. l definitely recommend for those who want to smell good without a punch you in the face scent.

By Nicky - Law from Sacramento on 8/30/2023

I have been used this perfume , actually , it was my first time purchased from Molecules. the smell is freshness , happy and lightly but if you looking for sillage or longevity that is not good choice. hopefully the new version + is better in my rate is worth 6/10

By Hamad - EMP from KSA on 7/15/2021

I love this one. It's just a little something-something, barely more than a skin smell but enough to smell effortless and good.

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

A bright, clean, happy fragrance that feels sheer and yet has staying power. Enjoyable, unoffensive, but also holds a touch of sass (especially if you get right up to the skin). Clean, pretty linear, and cheerful.

I only bought a sample so it is hard to make a fare judgement. The smell is 10/10 very great , but the only problem is it didn't hold for so long, I don't know how will it perform is I used the actual bottle.

......one of my favorite.....

By Nataliya - dishwasher from Woodburn on 7/1/2019

I really wanted to love this but just can't quite get into it. I was hoping for a little kick up from the regular Molecule 2 which I absolutely love. On me this one has somewhat of a faint metallic smell. I tried the sample on a few different occasions, at home and at work and I've determined it's just not for me.

By LeeAnn - Medical Office from Bkrs on 8/15/2018

This has become my go-to fragrance. It is bright and fresh but in a way that has an edge. My usual scents are more of a peppery note. This seems to me to be more woody but with a tinge of metal. It makes me happy when I put it on which is a great perk on most days. The sillage is strong but not overwhelming.

By Cathi - Healthcare consultant from Penn Valley on 1/26/2017

I love all the Molecules but this is probably my favorite. I think its interesting how some people say it smells like alcohol or its awful, since this is a scent that reacts to your ph it makes me wonder what is different about their's to make it smell bad... unfortunate for them, i guess. I get so many compliments every time I wear this scent as well as all the other molecules. I teach dance and sometimes the rooms can get stinky and I will walk in and have kids following me around smelling me. LOL.

By Jess - Dance Teacher from OKC on 11/4/2016

Just received a sample and i really love the clean fresh scent. I want to purchase a bottle of this.

By Mary Burrell - Technician from Dallas on 3/22/2016

This is my second review. I just wanted to say that I have been getting compliments everyday when I wear this scent. It is so natural smelling and light but still present, just not rude. I'm a forever fan!

By Melissa - MD from Louisville on 11/25/2015

Love it. Bought a full bottle. I wear this on days I want to smell awesome without it seeming like I'm trying to smell awesome.

By Melissa - Physician from Louisville on 11/15/2015

I have worn this for years, having searched for a scent I could wear with my perfume sensitivity (migraines). It is lovely, mineraly and warm, like Molecule 02 but with a more mineral edge and slightly more complex. between the two I prefer the Molecule. A skin scent. I tried Juliette Has a Gun- straight ambroxan- but it literally had no smell after 5 minutes and was very different. Everyone tells me how great I smell and asks what I wear. It stays on clothing for a very long time. It is difficult to smell on yourself at first but hard to overdo.

By Melanie - nurse on 1/11/2015

I so wanted to love this fragrance, but it doesn't even remotely work on my skin. Smells like an old person's apartment in an old building in an old city.

By Ellen on 7/21/2014

I love this fragrance. It stays very close to the skin--no perfume cloud. The initial smell of alcohol gives way to a beautiful, softly clean and feminine scent after only a few minutes on my skin. Hard to describe, but really nice.

By Resa on 11/10/2013

I once passed a woman on the street in Milan who was wearing this fragrance. I stopped her to ask what it was and have been obsessed ever since. This fragrance is intoxicatingly clean and earthy. On first smell it changes my mood and makes me overcome with a strange emotion like happiness. No one word can describe such a beautiful fragrance. It wears all day and just when you think it is gone, boom! Back with a vengeance. It creeps into your nostrils and keeps you wanting more. This is a work of art and belongs on every man/woman's perfume tray. Wow!

By Jennifer - Makeup Artist from Jennifer on 11/20/2012

Love it!!! My favorite!!! Best of all molecules!

By Karina - from Houston TX on 1/3/2012

I tried Escentric 01 with icky results, and held out hope for E-02... with marginally better results. What was supposed to be bright and refreshing ended up smelling like an astringent soap. Not the memorable scent I've been looking for... won't bother repeating this one, either. The search continues...
