This scent smells strikingly similar to Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules (rubber eraser drydown smell and all) and I have the same reaction to this one as I did Molecule. I don't dislike it, but I don't love it. It smells clean, and I definitely get the spiced cilantro coming through. It smells... fine. But more than smelling fresh or beautiful or feminine or floral or gourmand or however you want your perfume to smell, it just smells... I dunno... like your high school backpack.

I’m always cautious about the purported health claims of companies, but I try to be open minded. I’m glad I gave this a FB try after I found that I’d been using up samples of this in record time. Not only is it lovely, but it definitely grew on me over time. I now compulsively reach for it, especially as more meetings have returned to in-person. It doesn’t seem to radically change from first application to dry down like many other frags, and has actual longevity. If you are on the fence about this one, go for it. The company also makes size btwn FB and sample sizes. I really appreciate both for convenience (esp.for travel) but also to mitigate risk for first time buyers.

I am rarely impressed these days by fragrance. They are either fantastic and dont last or they dont have the right scent for me. This one is an exception. On me it has the scent of clean flannel with a hint of spiced orange peel. I love it and it lasts for hours. I highly recommend you check this out. I imagine it would be great for either male or female.

Floral, herby, and fresh. I LOVE this scent--I ordered a sample and went through it more quickly than any other I've had this year. It makes me smell clean, feel calm, and sniff my wrist compulsively. It's a lovely, lovely fragrance.

Lasts without getting imbedded in your head (wearing certain fragrances gives me migraines). Does indeed have a calming effect, while also imparting a sexy subtle mix that doesn’t shout one note such as musk. I liked the “Molekule One” fragrance but it was too one-note for me, didn’t last, too non-specific. I ordered 11 samples this go-round and this is the ONLY one I”m purchasing. I think it’ll be good over the change in seasons, too (perhaps not winter but into fall).

I clicked through to buy immediately after reading about this one. Curiously, I get dill and grass, then sweet citrus with something beneath it that sort of fattens it up and rounds it out without heaviness. It's very light yet full and lasting. I struggle with a lot of the modern molecule based frags but this one lands for me. It kind of embodies the subtle forward thinking idea of "better tomorrow," such as when you see a film set 20 years in the future and everything is recognisably the same but just a little bit better...

This stuff is wonderful. On me the sweet, powdery and herbal facets are most noticeable, with a resinous "spiky" undertone sneaking through every now and again. It reminds me most of a really resinous lavender or a tamed rosemary, so I'm going to guess that it's the cardamom giving that little spark. It really is calming for me, as well, I noticed an immediate effect in that my left eye, which has been twitching since our Windows10 "upgrade" early this month, has finally stopped.
