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.

For people saying they can't smell anything, here's why. If you think you're going to smell a full blown fragrance only after spraying it once and sniffing once, you won't smell much but wood. If this is what you do with most fragrances, (judging at first spray) then you're in for a rude awakening because you're missing out on a lot of amazing fragrances. You should spend about a week MINIMUM wearing a fragrance to really understand it and get its true smell. Molecule 01 does smell like wood. It smells like pencil shavings. Not attractive at all right? Well, wrong. This smells like BRAND NEW SKIN. Yes... skin. People will not think you put perfume on. They'll think that this is what you actually smell like. If you want to know what molecule 01 smells like, get a sweater or a shirt, spray it with molecule 01 and put it in your closet. Leave it there til the next day and go in and ... ENJOY. This is mysterious and sexy. You can't explain the smell once it's on clothes or someone's hair/skin. You're welcome :)

I was an exchange student in Korea, and there was this guy who smelled amazing. I could smell his perfume from afar, I could even tell BEFORE entering the class room that he was in there just by the smell. That's how mad the projection of Escentric 01 is. I just HAD to get my hands on it! It is actually quite a simple and linear fragrance, but its ability to fill an entire room while not being overpowering captivates me. I can't imagine this being offensive to anyone, with its innocuous citrusy, slightly peppered sillage. I see lots of people mention Glossier You as similar to Escentric 01. While both are major fragrances crushes for me, in my experience, they don't smell anything alike, especially since there is not a hint of lemon in Glossier You.

Perfumery is also about technology. And I fall in love with this brand because of their molecular technology. My first full bottle of Geza Schoen creations is E01. I bought it almost 3 years ago, and it instantly become my favorite scent. This bottle is all about Iso-E Super, the molecul that gives you a woody scent, smooth, bit powdery, and citrusy at the beginning. While their brother, M01, is only about the Iso-E Super, the E01 is enriched with Iris that give you a powdery feeling, and lemon to lift up and freshen your mood. It can be a stand-alone fragrance or you can simply use it for layering with other fragrance to creatw more complex nuance and boost the sillage, performance, and longevity.

This is an easy, versatile molecular fragrance. Wooden, airy, clean and unisex with some creamy iris/orris notes. I wouldn’t call this perfume weak – it lingers hours on me – but it is a subtle skin scent. Escentric 01 works as a stand alone perfume unlike Molecule 01 which I feel is more of a booster for other perfumes. However, Escentric 01 is simple enough to suit all seasons and occasions. On the skin, the scent becomes fuller and softer hour by hour. This perfume is perfect for office, as it’s clean, universally pleasing and will certainly not irritate anyone. I would love to own a full bottle of this beautiful liquid.

This is how you do a phenomenal molecular fragrance! Molecule 01 is a mas appealing woody, citrusy, floral scent with a touch of citrus in the opening. I am not the biggest iris person but I really enjoy it here, I think the combination with ISO E Super is very smooth and creates a comforting feel fragrance. I would get a bottle of this, I find that really works during fall. It’s that type of perfume that envelops you in and might boost your mood. I’m surprised by how natural it smells, I thought it would be more synthetic, artificial smelling, but on the contrary, a very pleasant surprise.

I have the discovery set with all 5 of the Molecule and Escentric scents and this is one of my two favourites. It works well on it's own as an ethereal citrusy skin scent, but I LOVE this for layering. If I were to buy a full bottle from the range, this would likely be the one. I think the addition of lemon and pink pepper really make citruses in lighter performing fragrances pop, extending the top notes beyond the usual half hour to hour. If you have it, try layering a base coat of this with Eau Sauvage EDT sprayed generously over the top, and thank me later.

I think this very well may be my signature scent. I fell in love with it the moment I sampled it. It's the scent which really began my perfume journey. I think you know you've found a favourite when you then begin to look at the many 'similar' fragrances - sampling them and experiencing the pros and cons of them. If you're interested - the closest scent to escentric 01 is Ormonde Jayne Isfarkand - another scent by creator of escentric 01 - Geza Schön. I'm just so happy this scent exists - and that Geza and his many wonderful creations does too!

This scent is so ridiculously good. It starts with this beautiful spicy sharpness that teeters on offensive but lies just below it. It’s not at all elusive for me. But it also isn’t cloying or too present. The interplay between the iso e super and pink pepper is incredible. It’s this dynamic, ever changing duet. I don’t pick up a whole lot of floral notes on this one. I’m male presenting and very much prefer unisex scents. This one is perfect for me. I want to be enveloped in this smell all the time. Very likely will become my signature scent.

Escentric 01. Big like for me. On my skin is a nice woody and musky smell. I can smell a bit of Iris. Good performance, perfect projection (i.e. it won't bother those around you). Great to use year round. Update: wore it all day today. Spent about 3 h on a meeting having to wear a facemask. I went outside for break and took the mask off. I could smell myself surrounded by the most amazing perfume bubble (a side effect of wearing the mask and taking it off... I could smell Escentric 01 on me probably as others smell me, and it was good!).

I bought this for my sons but thought id give it a try. I like it! I do see the similarity to light blue but not exactly the same. I was searching all over for the cap but i guess it doesnt come with one? I will try this as a layering tool, mainly i get citrus. But i do think i get a woody background Update: my son (20) loves this. He said he layers this with every scent he wears and this takes it next level. I only tried it once and i thought he may share with me but nope! That is how much he likes it.

I love this scent - warm, clean, very vaguely woodsy, very vaguely sweet. The scent is very hard to describe but it melts into my skin and fades from being obtrusive *to me* while still getting nice reactions from people who get close to me. I feel like it smells like me, but better. It may be helpful to know that I'm one of those people who finds most high end perfume to be disturbingly "perfumey" and intrusive, so this lovely, mild, cashmere sweater of a scent was absolutely perfect for me.

I can't hardly wait to get mine...actually,I've been fan for years now,but somehow I've purchased many other perfumes before Escentric 01.I've smelled it first on one lady I was in company with,close to 8 years now,and she smelled fantastic!(I don't know if she wore molecule or escentric,but I ordered escentric)I think this is a MUST have in any fragrance lover rotation,it is that good...totally unisex,and divine smell.And I could recommend a safe blind buy.Enjoy and thank me later:)

This one is damn good. Incense (ebony?), fresh musk, mastic, cedar and a hint of orris. It moves with the body and it sticks to it. Enigmatic: you want to know what it is and one day you might become sure what it is. And yet you ponder and wonder , desire to know what this really is especially that it is long lasting, eternal and it does not have drydown at all. It smells the same until one day it dissapears. So here I am: my signature scent is to be dethroned.

I’ve sprayed this in store a couple of times, and it’s the first time a perfume has really evoked memories for me: first I’m resting in the shade of a grove of pepper trees in the outback, then climbing pines by the sea as a kid. Couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist when I tried it - the smell of childhood adventure was intensely comforting. This stays all day as a skin scent, and for several days on clothes. Will definitely buy a full bottle.

I don't love it on my skin, but I think it smells AMAZING on clothes. Just a little spray inside your jacket or something is perfect. Agree with the previous reviewer that it smells like the feeling of a hug. Edit: About 4 months later, I like it on my skin now! A good description imo would be a more complex Molecule 01. It still has that pencil shaving vibe (in a good way) but is way deeper and more interesting.
