My Thoughts On Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules.

Escentric Molecules, Molecule 01 30ml £27

I think we all know what Molecule 01 is by now. It's been raved about in YT videos and blogs for months now so I won't go into too much detail but basically it only contains 3 ingredients: Alcohol denant, water & Iso E Super. Iso E Super isn't anything new, it's been used in fragrances for years but what makes Molecule 01 so popular is it supposedly smells different on everyone.

When I done a swap with Lina this is the main item she asked for but after a week or two she sent me an email to see if I wanted it as it made her smell like a 'male xmas tree' best fragrance description ever! From the first spray I understood the male xmas tree comment 100%. It's very masculine and overpowering at first then after a few minutes the pine fresh toilet duck scent kicks in. It's not my kind of scent at all but the weirdest thing is I sprayed it just once on my wrist and could instantly smell it (to the point were I was trying to get my wrists as far away from myself as possible) but when I sniffed my wrists I couldn't smell it at all. So strange. I could REALLY smell it but not when I sniffed my skin. As the day went on I was able to smell it on my wrists then it would disappear again. This went on all day and I also noticed everytime I washed my hands and water splashed my wrists it seemed to reactivate it. I tried it on 4 different people but it smelt the same on all of us. I liked it slighly better when I could smell it on my mum but I think that was due to the fact I could smell it from a distance and could walk away anytime I wanted.

I totally agree with Lina's male xmas tree description. Imagine a hot bath filled with Lynx shower gel and pine fresh toilet cleaner then imagined it all being stirred together with a xmas tree. That's how it smells to me.

It's not all bad though. One spray is all you need and it's not something you're going to have to top up throughout the day which means the 30ml bottle is great value for money (if you like it)

Please Don't be offended if you love Molecule 01. We're all different and love/hate different scents. The point of this post is just to give my opinion on a product which seems to be loved by everyone.
