Escentric 01

This perfume is totally intriguing and my experience of it is as elusive as the scent itself. I was put into it by a lovely Mecca employee( shout out Victoria!) who suggested it for me after I told her how I loved Milky perfumes! I Have to laugh at that I think she was trying to expand my horizons. She gave me a sample of this perfume even though I didn’t ask for it . On a random day I sprayed it on to bed I smelt the bright peppery citrusy opening along with a sort of Metallic or futuristic note. Off to bed. Nothing reported. That weekend my sheets came super floral And beautiful smelling out of the laundry and dryer I couldn’t understand why. The same with my morning robe which I wore when spraying the fragrance at my wrists. I looked For the origin of the beautiful scent but was at loss. Another day I tried it for work, may have over done it as all I smelt was peppercorn and plastic for most of the day then 3rd try I sprayed and 5 minutes later hopped into the car for an appointment . Parked and when I came Back to the car shortly after I was immediately met with that same gorgeous scent. This time I knew !! It was eccentric and I’d done some research and found others also reported it stayed in their clothes sometimes after 12 washes. Another try and I smelt absolutely nothing . Another try and I became sure of the iris and pink pepper citrus Notes . Another try I coughed but smelt nothing. Another try I wore it to Bed again and this time my sheets throughout the night smelt amazing. The other day I sprayed it before Pilates and it smelt amazing as I was walking back after class I wondered who Or what smelt so Good like a whisper following me - I thought it might be a bakery or gift store or yoghurt store nearby - something sweet maybe a little floral light bright but as I kept walking I realised the smell was staying with me even as I kept passing the various suspects - it had to be me!! I love the warmth that is inside iso super and I enjoy the pepper sharp accords on a woman they are refreshing and f*n* sexy - bad ass!! I love to be the sweetnes alongside it or whatever suits me to be alongside it . I’ve tried layering but I don’t favour it , this is like a sexy sheer white shirt or cotton bed sheet its minimalism is its charm!!! It the first sample I’ve actually finished and found myself rationing so after 2 months it was a no brainer to buy a full bottle

This is fantastic. Plain and simple. I had never tried any of the Escentrics and wasn ́t that interested after reading reviews here. Some time in the spring this year while working my latest job this woman came to pick up her son. She wasn ́t very close to where I was standing at all, but I smelled her AMAZING perfume and had to ask her. Ended up being this one. She wasn ́t sure at first which one of the Escentrics - most people aren ́t like us! :-) - so when I got to know her better I asked again and she brought the bottle. This one. And I got it in June this year and luckily it works SO well for me as well! I find it utterly clean without being sanitised at all. Yes, it is quite woody and I can understand the pencil shavings comparison, but to me it is merely in the best of ways so I ́d rather call it newly cut, good quality woods. It ́s grounded by the pepper here and brightened by the fresh and icy lemon. I smell the iris right away too and I think it ́s the iris that makes it more sensual than the Molecule 1, that I also tried when buying the Escentric 1. The Molecule 1 is nice too, but this one is more sensual and more perfumey. More real, I guess. Anyway, in this one it is, maybe strangely so, kind of like with older, more classic perfumes- the notes meld together in such a good way- it ́s kind of unimportant what they are and that ́s kind of the way I like it. I smell water and woods, high quality soap and greenery and some milkiness and YET it is very fresh and bright. I don ́t find it ambery at all even though Iso E is described as having ambery properties. Well, maybe like dry amber, a bit like the amber in Stella! Yes, that ́s it. Very different from the amber in Pradas Amber or Balmain Ambre Gris- that type of amber does NOT work for me, see. Escentric doesn ́t so much change on me during a wear, but it is true with the wafts coming and going. I haven ́t met a lot of strangers since getting it, but i have met a bunch of friends and four friends that would NEVER say anything about perfumes have complimented me on it. It seems to drive people slightly nuts, it makes people happy and giddy and fascinated. I have my first day at new job on Monday and I will definitely wear this because I feel that it evokes positivity. I am VERY happy I bought this one!

I love Escentric 01! Just tried it and fell in love. Full disclosure I am an Escentric Molecules fan already and Molecule 01 is one of my favorites. I love the subtle, sexy cedar-like scent that wafts around me intermittently, and it blends so well with many other fragrances. I have read through most of the reviews here and although I believe people are entitled to their own opinions, I highly recommend you try a sample first to make sure you're not anosmic to ISO E Super - and that you like it - before forming an overall opinion. If you can't smell ISO E Super, I don't think that entitles you to downvoting or writing a bad review. That's not the fault of the perfumer. But do wait some time and give it another go because some times your olfactory nerves open up and suddenly you can smell things you couldn't before. I love the additions they gave this scent. However I think the notes listed here are wrong... I checked the Escentric Molecules website out of curiosity (not because I'm any good at identifying notes, I truly did think I was smelling iris and lemon when I read this description here) but Escentric Molecules site says it contains: "Lime peel, hedione (green jasmine bud), orris, balsamic notes, and fresh musk" As well as 65% ISO E Super Anyway this is a lovely clean woodsy cedar-like, citrus, very slightly floral and subtly musky scent. It takes just a short time to develop and like other Molecule scents, it sticks around on clothes a long time. I have full bottles of M01 and M02, and I think one day soon I'm gonna have to get full bottles of Escentrics 01 and 02. They are truly beautiful fragrances and I am in awe of Geza Schoen!

I didn’t like it at first, but now it’s my top 5 for summer. Let me tell a quick story of the first time I sprayed it. I was well aware of the rumors that this fragrance has unusual performance, so with that in mind I sprayed only two sprays on my neck. That is my general rule for stronger fragrances as to not offend anyone. I let it sit for 45 minutes. I step in the back seat of a 2016 Honda Civic and my two parents who sat in front immediately react very negatively with a cringe. They asked what is that smell! Ethan you put on too much, don’t wear that cologne anymore. So I didn’t, because that shit hurted. Mind you I could only smell the fragrance if I pressed my nose on my skin. My first impression was that it was too harsh and too lemony peppery. 7 months later and I have made a complete 180 with my opinion. I’m a little bit addicted to the smell, it is unlike anything I’ve ever smelled on anyone my age, and it makes me feel like I’m on another level than anyone else wearing fragrance. I feel like it is contrary to my parents first impression very inoffensive and light. The sillage is excellent (probably) and the reactions that I get are very positive now, even my mom likes it now. I don’t know what happened on those first two sprays, but now I am in love with this stuff.

Escentric 01 (NOT molecule 01) was a bit of a departure for me, I've usually favoured scents that lean naturalistic however I actually really like it. It feels like a more modern, sharper, quirky take on other scents I enjoy. Oddly it also feels like to me like a significantly improved version of Maison Margiela's 'Lazy Sunday Morning' which shares this fragrance's Iris/Musk notes but - I think - delivers them in a much less appealing way. I definitely get the amalfi lemon (a key distinction from Lazy Sunday) but the combination makes it feel like an interesting variety of it. For me the smell fades into the background faster than most other scents but the fainter scent then lasts much longer - I've been able to smell it on myself 24 hours later in some cases and it's survived a shower too. After the initial spray it starts to mix in with your general scent very nicely to the extent that you may come across as a person who just naturally smells nice rather than a person who is wearing a fragrance. I've been pleasantly surprised by this and will definitely be keeping it in regular rotation, its subtlety also lends itself to wearing in a range of scenarios. Great stuff.
