On my body it’s like this: upon spraying, I almost smell nothing, just alcohol and a little more. After a minute, a clean and fresh aroma emerges, very subtle and close to the nose, which I love. This scent drops in intensity (already weak) until it’s almost unnoticeable. At the hour, magic happens: normal intensity, it changes and becomes more woody than fresh. This lasts 3 or 4 hours. The second-phase aroma is totally like a dry cleaner, very subtle. I like it, but I find the performance low (I have to spray it on my hands or arms to smell it well). As an experience, an 8/10; I don’t regret the 30ml, but I wouldn’t buy the 100ml.
A scam and a fantasy made into perfume (if it is one), a scent that evaporates… honestly, I don’t get it. Maybe with another perfume it gives more longevity or projection. I bought 100ml of Iso E Super for a value three times lower than this bottle of Molecule 01. Marketing and hype wreak havoc on perception. The value of this fragrance is out of context for what it offers. I bought a decant that might not even serve as an air freshener. Cheers.
Good for layering, smells very masculine. Projects well, but I don’t like using it much because it gives a masculine touch to my feminine fragrances. I only use it if I don’t have another option to give longevity to my fresh spring and summer perfumes.
I wear it on business trips and always, I say always, people ask what it is. It doesn’t seem very well known. I’m ignorant about the topic, but I like it and it likes it.
It’s not very well known either. To me, it seems like a high-quality perfume. I can tell the oils have a high concentration; you notice it in the longevity and the trail. The bottle isn’t ‘the latest Paris trend,’ but I care about the broth; I wouldn’t mind if it came in a dog food tub. I’ve found many perfumes like this: little known, unadorned, but what’s inside is another planet. This liquid is a blast.
What a great name! Molecule 01… it makes me feel like I’m putting on a broth where even the last drop of oil is calculated and modeled. The formula of a perfume-crazy madman created to explode, delicate and dangerous. I wear it in winter and its wood scent mixes with the tobacco I always wear; what a treat.
Amazing! If you like complicated things, maybe it’s not for you. I love it: it’s simple and the notes are defined; you can perceive and distinguish them easily. It lasts about 6 hours on my skin. I’m super happy with the purchase.
It was my favorite in spring and summer. With 7 sprays, it left a clean, soft woody aroma that came and went in bursts and lasted all day. Something happened with people: from a distance they noticed it, they approached kindly, and then asked what I was wearing because it smelled so good.
Smells like light wood, like a school pencil. Doesn’t stick around and reads more masculine than feminine to me.
I don’t see the trick. I’m lucky enough that it either doesn’t smell on me or is intermittent. At first, yes: woods and musk, neutral, clean, and fresh. It’s okay, but if I have to strain to smell it, I don’t know. Drawing conclusions after a 5ml decant is difficult. I won’t pay what it costs for what it offers. Not even thinking about it. Edit: I’ll give it another chance… something curious, I can still smell it at 2 PM.
@Victortor explained the Iso E Super experience very well. Born in a lab, this chemical molecule has no natural equivalent and is a good fixative. They say it smells like soft, velvety wood, like cedar or sandalwood. But on its own, it has peculiar behavior: it smells different on cardboard than on skin. On the latter, it appears and disappears in a variable way, though after several hours it can be clearly perceived in the environment. Its perception depends on idiosyncratic factors, perhaps genetic, and also on the formulation. Example: @Victortor doesn’t feel the molecule or feels it intermittently, while others still notice it after 14 hours. I’m not the only one; it happens to me too, and it’s a pain. I have a difficult relationship with Molecule 01 and with Terre d’Hermès (which has 55% Iso E Super): the sensations are unpleasant because I don’t know if I smell it or not, and several hours later I feel it, but I don’t know if it’s just me or others too. Summary: if many people perceive a fragrance clearly but it’s hard for you, nothing bad is happening to you; probably that product contains Iso E Super.
I think this perfume and I just don’t click at all. I don’t know if my skin ate it up, but my nose barely perceives anything. A tiny, intermittent, very subtle woody scent that’s gone in a moment. From time to time, I have to press my nose to my wrist and barely appreciate a scent that fades quickly. I wouldn’t pay for one like this because the Iso E Super molecule and I simply don’t get along.
Tips to know what this smells like, because on your own skin you rarely smell anything. 1: Have your partner or child wear it, and you’ll see that every now and then that woody, clean, soft, and velvety aroma that everyone mentions drifts to you. 2: Use it on your clothes; at the end of the day, when you shake them, it smells incredibly strong. 3: Trust the scent and use it when you don’t know what to wear, when you want to smell good, last long, and not overwhelm or draw attention. In my opinion, it’s a lifesaver fragrance.
Finally arrived, and I put it on right away. I was scared because I read that some people smell nothing due to anosmia for Iso E Super, but fortunately, I do smell it, and it smells delicious. On my skin, I smell citrus and wood, with a feeling of clean, fresh, bare skin, freshly showered… crazy. I haven’t even talked about longevity yet; I just applied it. I bought it blind to use for layering and to make my favorites last longer; so far, it’s a surprise because it makes me want to wear it on its own… a marvel.
What can I say? It appears and disappears throughout the day. It smells like clean, tidy woods, though every nose perceives it differently; it’s quite unique. You don’t feel it on your own, but others perceive it in a strange way. It’s ghostly and mysterious, perhaps like a mad scientist; I think that’s its greatest charm. I use it to layer with heavy fragrances in summer and to boost other fresh ones. 2 sprays of this equal 1 spray of a dense fragrance that could overwhelm in the heat. That said, it doesn’t seem worth the price, haha. I bought it on sale. 10/10 Originality, 6/10 Price, Variable 1-10/10 Longevity, Sillage.
Essentric Molecules 01: A masterpiece of grandeur and simplicity. A scent that awakens appreciation, fascination, and respect, without pretension or showiness. It presents itself as crystal clear and sharp, like the aroma of something transparent and sublime, generating trust and direct sincerity. To me, it’s chemistry turned into art: oakwood, the cleanliness and luminosity of musk, with a subtle sweet touch of amber. Result: the scent of a clean, organized, and well-presented person. I consider it strictly masculine. Without a doubt, one of my top 3, my signature. Scent: 11. Projection: Moderate. Longevity: 6 hours. Highly recommended.
Transparent, woody, alcoholic at the start, comes and goes, ideal for layering. A base that adds a little punch.
Thanks to a sample from my friend @Mithrandir, I was able to try this perfume ☺️. It smells very unique; on me, it’s totally woody and gives a freshly showered vibe. It lasts quite a bit on skin (about 6 noticeable hours) and isn’t overpowering, though I don’t like to overapply. It’s pleasant and intimate, fitting the description of something that ‘comes and goes,’ making small shifts throughout the day without losing its base note. I find it cute that it smells different on every skin. I tested it on my family, and for some, it’s more citrusy or musky, softer. Very grateful to have discovered Molecule 01 😊
Timo E Super.
I own the original and it lasts forever on skin and clothes, but it projects nothing—it’s pure skin scent. At first, it smells like wood, a sharpener, and a new broom, even slightly chemical; once it dries, it turns floral. Since I like to project wildly, I never wear it this way; I only use it to scent my clothes. It also doesn’t help boost other fragrances. If I want them to last longer, I just apply more. Despite being a curious scent, I recommend it absolutely not.
Greetings. I bought it on discount, had to take advantage of it. They moved me with the idea that it boosted the longevity of other perfumes. Months later, I don’t know if it achieves that or if, assuming I convinced myself at some point that it did, it was my own idea. It smells like clean wood. Yes, I can smell it. I have no idea if the rest can. It gives the impression that they can’t, since it’s subtle and emerges every now and then, but I’m not sure.
Sharp, transparent, clean, subtle, for personal enjoyment. The aroma comes and goes in bursts. Perfect for layering.
Unfortunately, I’m one of the unfortunate ones to whom ISO E SUPER smells bad (when I can smell it at all). It smells like sweaty socks to me. So I haven’t noticed either the clean scent or the woody notes. What a pity.
Beautiful perfume, it smells like incense and wood on me, a delight. As for projection, it projects nothing; it’s very discreet but lovely.
I got a decant and call me crazy, but this smells DIFFERENT on every person. I bought it for the laughs… on some it smells more like musk; I tested it on a girl and it smelled INCREIBLE, sweet, rich, and sexy. On me, it smells like wood, medium citrus musk, and low on aroma. I don’t recommend it for signing or anything specific. IF you’re a collector, BUY IT and try it on all your friends.
Woody, musky, slightly smoky, totally flat. It acts as a booster for other fragrances, even on clothes itself. It’s clean at the start in the nose and slightly dirty in the dry down. It reminds me of the spicy warmth of ambroxan. It lasts very well for 6 hours with pleasant presence if you’re moving or it’s hot. Then it fades and you need to reapply, not much, but yes, so it wraps around you again. It seems like an excellently priced scent, great because it is, and expensive because I think the price should be adjusted. I like it, even for frequent wear. Recommend trying it on skin; in my case, I might look for a similar alternative.
Well, I have it and I love it. Although I know I don’t always feel it… and then I do… and then I don’t again 😂😂😂. But my 12-year-old son absolutely loved it, so I passed it to him. I perceive such a rich aroma on him. It looks spectacular on him; his t-shirts smell good even after being washed. It’s grand. If we accept it as it is, we appreciate it. If we cling to the idea that it should smell aromatic like the norm, then no, it won’t be for us. 😉
A round of applause for the chemist who created it… but what about the perfumer? What did they do? The alcohol blend? They’re using a 50-year-old cheap molecule and selling it at a gold price.
It seems the new 01 molecules have lowered the potency of the original. That clean cedar trail it used to leave is no longer noticeable. Instead of being a cologne, it should be an eau de parfum or even a perfume for those with a good nose. Now it smells more like Galaxolide musk with citrus and cardamomo touches than Iso E Super.
Smells like freshly washed skin, musk, and woods. It brings me distant memories of my mother’s skin, who always wore Courrèges. It’s incredible: at first, it barely smells like anything, but then it hits in waves. Absolutely wonderful for my nose.
Mmm…. No. Same here, I barely smell anything. Right after showering, it’s slightly more noticeable. Paying €120 for this seems like a bad taste joke. I’ve read that some people smell it more than others. I’m one of those who barely smells anything at all.
I don’t know if it’s an urban legend that it develops differently on each skin (which happens with all perfumes); I’ve only tested it on mine. For me, it’s subtle, discreet, and persistent, good longevity without a trail. It highlights the wood and a slight musk; overall, it’s fresh, like violet, delicate but with an unusual smoky depth. Curious evolution, starting intense and synthetic but settling into serenity. I find it precious, very particular, not for those seeking flashy fragrances. It’s for personal enjoyment, an elegant simplicity. Abstain, narcissists.
Was this liquid not made to create an ‘aura’ effect and improve the projection of other perfumes? I ask because I see everyone reviewing the scent on its own. I understand it’s a molecular perfume used more as an enhancer. Although not its main function, Molecule 01 and 02 are known to improve the trail and longevity of other perfumes.
I bought a sample at a prestigious and reliable store. On skin, it smells like Montblanc Emblem and CH Men: green cedar, musk, and leather, although in those fragrances, it feels much more pronounced than in this Molecule 01, where it’s almost unnoticeable and you have to press your nose against the skin to smell anything. I don’t know if it’s been reformulated; it seems 99% alcohol and 1% Iso Super, practically no scent. I don’t recommend it; it seems like a scam. If you like it, better buy the fragrances I mentioned.
The opening is a super synthetic chemical smell, like alcoholic solvent. But once it settles on the skin, it has something addictive, a subtle chemical woody scent you want to smell over and over. It has little projection but good longevity on skin. I wear it when I don’t want to draw attention and need something discreet. It’s not worth paying the store price; I don’t appreciate the supernatural properties some YouTubers claim.
Great perfume, incredible potency and extreme longevity with a trail that fills rooms; that’s what everyone would want. But the reality: it lasted me 6 hours (not bad), but very close to the skin from the start. No trail, it conveys nothing, and no aromas stand out on my skin. I don’t have it and doubt buying it because it hasn’t impressed me. I have the misfortune of having a nose that catches everything and privileged skin. NEVER buy blindly. Most of us look for perfumes that convey something, and this, for me, is a disappointing face.
If its only note is Iso E Super, why buy it instead of a direct bottle that’s much cheaper?
Incredible to read so much ignorance about this chemical that’s more of a highlighter than a perfume. Molecule 01 is a patented form of Iso E Super, a synthetic that smells like wood. It has qualities to add body, improve longevity, act as a fixative, and boost diffusion. Not everyone smells it; it smells different for each person and differently inside than outside. For me, it’s the perfume for those who don’t like perfume, blends well with woody scents, and works perfectly to highlight others.
The hype around this perfume has died down, and now I can buy samples without ruining my semester budget if it’s not what I expected (if I had anosmia and didn’t notice, it would be a total disaster). At first, it’s pure alcohol, lasting just long enough to make you think you got scammed with a decant, but then it arrives. It smells chemical, not familiar but identifiable. Everyone always says it’s ‘clean wood,’ but to me, it smells like ink, a printer cartridge, a new paperback with plastic cover, smoky but not really, more like steam or freshly ironed polyester. It’s a simple scent, pleasant but conveying nothing, lacking that emotional response of opening a new book. It has no extra virtues. Luckily, I smell it every time I wear it; I don’t know if others experience the same, it’s been hard to get opinions. Lasts quite a bit, but after 8 hours, I can’t detect it anymore. Zero projection, barely audible at skin level. Impossible to be more unisex, it’s like a second skin. I haven’t tried mixing it to see if it improves longevity, maybe I will, but as a fragrance on its own, nothing special. The ultimate expression of a perfume for when you don’t want to wear perfume, but I think there are better options. 5/10.
Mixes amazingly well with other perfumes, enhancing them. It’s almost imperceptible, with a fresh, citrusy touch. Ideally, use it on cool days, pairing it with something citrus and marine.
