Molecule 01 is unlike anything you will ever wear. It is one of the most mysteriously alluring scents wrapped in simplicity. For us, the phenomenon of Molecule 01 came completely out of left field. When we first encountered it in 2005, our first impression was that we couldn't smell a thing. We weren't sure what to think, but we wore it just as the description urged us to do, and didn't really notice the subtle scent on ourselves. The response from others, however, was undeniable. Each time we wore it, somebody would ask what we were wearing. It was astonishing how predictably this occurred. 

Molecule 01 is an aroma chemical, which are used in virtually all modern fragrances to recreate scents like jasmine or cedar or a host of other familiar olfactory favorites. This fragrance, however, is the first to to pay homage to Iso E Super, which you probably know as a sweet sandalwood/cedar-like smell. Because Molecule 01 is an aroma chemical rather than a perfume, it behaves differently. You have to wear it to understand it. If you have a bottle Molecule and feel that it smells of nothing, be patient. Keep using it. The velvety woody note is highly sensitive to body chemistry and twists and turns as it evolves, combining with the wearers' own natural scent to create an extraordinary alluring quality. The science of scent is truly on display and is sure to delight those woody fragrance aficionados who love to venture forth and discover something devastatingly unique. A true phenomenon in its own right.

Smells Great but Doesn't Last Long

A fun woodsy experience.

My husband and I both tried it at the same time. To us it smelled of cedar and bug spray (but in the best way possible) at first. It was a bit sweeter on him. As it settled, I was picking up notes of mossy woods and something sweet. Got hints of old wooden sauna too (steam, rocks, wood planks). The next day I could still smell it and it had a distinctly Vetiver smell. I could see this holding its own as a fragrance or being used layered with other fragrances as an earthy undertone. I really like it.

Great!

It’s great on its own and for layering

I’m deeply disappointed… There’s absolutely no soul in this fragrance — just sharp, cheap alcohol from the very first spray.
I’ve had the original, I know how it should smell… and I had hopes this would be a true sample. But no — just a hollow imitation.
Honestly, it felt like a slap in the face. I was excited, I trusted, and now I feel completely let down.
Such a waste… It’s heartbreaking when something you were looking forward to turns out this empty.

Nice

Although a lot of people use this scent to layer, including myself, it’s also great on its own. It’s not overwhelming and you may not even smell it on yourself anymore but others will. It’s a must have in the collection
