Escentric 01 by Escentric Molecules

Since I tried it, it’s my favorite. A clean, addictive, and refined masculine proposal. It reflects good taste and originality; while it may seem like it doesn’t project much, that’s an illusion—it’s noticeable and lingers even after you’re gone. A masterpiece that avoids the common without being loud. Notes of sawmill wood, musk, iris, and Iso E Super with a touch of sweet amber. Notable performance on my skin: good projection and 6 to 8 hours of longevity. Clean, masculine, refined, and sexy. Recommended.

One of the best in my collection for exclusivity, performance, and aroma. The sister to Molecule 01, another gem in this molecular saga. Clean, exquisite, and noticeable from a distance. Although the notes suggest spring/summer, its power gives it total versatility. Impressive? Absolutely, it smells like absolute cleanliness.

I was curious and got a decant. It’s not special; I consider it average. Well below the charm of its sister, Molecule 01, to which it only resembles in the dry-down. Undoubtedly, Molecule 01 fascinates me, even if it sometimes plays hide-and-seek.

I received this little gem today! It’s delicious. Starts as a musky citrus, not very aromatic at first, but the trail is there, appearing every so often. It’s a scent you’d want to smell all the time… but it fades, don’t get your hopes up… and it returns. That’s how it is: it arrives, it leaves, it arrives, it leaves. Fabulous.

@juancar677, what similarities do you find with Wild by Dsquared 2?

I’m thrilled with this 01 eccentricity. It’s like all its notes are dancing in the air, revealing everything about you. Beautiful molecular dances where your pheromones shine. Cheerful at times, sensual at others, with incense and spices, a unique and personal world. I’ve never had a more sociable perfume; no note overpowers another, it’s pure joy of life bottled. I love the Iso E Super that gives it a vibrant and seductive life. Highly recommended for connecting with others. More than enough trail and longevity. A wonder at night, but also during the day.

When I returned my ManRose by Etro (the tester would be perfect, the bottle not so much), I swapped it for this Escentric 01 that was hidden in the special display at the department store. The clerk invited me in, I tried it, and it was love at first sniff. Although a friend ended up taking the Insumis by Lalique, this was a total hit: I get compliments and people talk to me without even knowing me. It’s exquisite, distinguished, addictive, and very masculine. They offered me the last bottle with dark liquid; the rest are already clear (maybe a reformulation). The Russians wear it a lot. 10/10 for me.

I wasn’t expecting much after reading the reviews, and I was surprised. I don’t know why everyone makes such a fuss, but it’s a fragrance in itself: you smell it and you like it. It opens with alcohol and sparkling pink pepper, sour lime, and musk. A citrus-spicy aroma. In the base, cedar, musk, and amber: clean, woody, leathery, and warm. I don’t detect iris or know what the Iso E Super smells like. The sillage is strong at first and then stays close to the skin with constant bursts. It lasts about 7 hours and keeps going. Nothing overwhelming. It’s based on the base notes, the ones you really enjoy, although the lime doesn’t fade away. I’d wear it in cold weather for that warm and woody side, like spicy woods burning down. It confuses me: sometimes it smells like a soft baby cologne, sometimes like fresh balsamic cedar, and sometimes like dry, spicy wood. In my opinion, it’s for personal enjoyment, leaning masculine due to those dry notes. I wouldn’t buy it for myself, but it would look great on a man. If you try it, it doesn’t bite.

Even if it doesn’t seem intense on your skin, everyone else definitely notices it. It’s strange but true. Many people recognize me by the scent and love it. You have to experience it.
