Molecule 01 + Ginger

First impression: Nice citrusy ginger, feels springy. Hard to see anyone objecting to this. Smelling it in a sauna to get an idea of summer performance and it feels cooling, refreshing and it does the summer job I hoped mandarine would have done. All I can say is opening; no complaints. Edit: it deviates from my expectation; I figured it should dry warm and spicy, instead I find it dries cold and soapy for some reason. Lime feels like a secret note, the ginger is yellow/green but moreso green. I find it to be like a common but nice soap smell after the initial burst of what felt citrusy has mellowed. Not radiating, very quiet. Edit: I like this very much, but unless my nose is under the weather, this under performs. Ginger is quite a strong note but this is oh so soft and delicate. I percieve that I do not get a decent performance for the price; I spray it liberally but it’s like invisible to me. And yes, it smells just like lemongrass.

Is it overpriced? Yep. Does it smell like realistic ginger with woods that people around you will love? Yes. Personally it's my favorite molecule 01 with molecule 01 iris coming in as a close second. The ginger smells so good and high quality and compliments the ISO-E super. It's basic, but sometimes basic is good, think Japanese food. It's also quite versatile but I would definitely recommend it for summer and spring as it compliments the profile best. Very refreshing and clean. As far as performance, I get moderate performance. Longevity could be better I get around 5-6 hours, projection is low-moderate with most projection coming in at the first hour, sillage is ok. I don't think the longevity is as bad as most are making it to be, I think it's more a case of nose blindness.

There’s one thing I don’t like about this fragrance and it’s the fact that it’s begging to be layered with one of those fresh summer scents. I can’t wait to layer it with something equally effervescent . The ginger fizzes and pops at the start then fades a little and just remains around. Often being pushed aside by the ISO E Super Cedar. It’s a fine scent to wear by itself but I think it’s a better accompaniment to other fragrances. I have a fragrance in mind that I really want to try it with; actually two fragrances... no wait three , yup four fragrances I want to try it with. But my reservation would be that that photorealistic ginger might fade too rapidly away and not have to effect I desire

After trying many fragrances that have Ginger as the main character, I must say this is the most photorealistic Ginger I've tried. It's simply that: Fresh Ginger Root. Nothing else, nothing more. I can't smell the Iso E Super which I usually do, but since this smells like a Ginger fragrance rather than you just having rubbed some Ginger Root on your skin, I'm guessing the Iso E Super is what gives it the light feeling. Kinda similar to Ginger essential oils but without the screechy sourness, or underlying peels and dirt smell. Overall 10/10

Update: After let it sit for a month, it smells exactly like fresh ginger, with hint of lime. The nozzle is so hard (or I'm too weak), it makes a wet alcohol spot every spot I spray. 1st time use: it smells like M+mandarin on my skin with a spicy ginger taste, not sweet one. 😂 And it changes a little every time I try it, sometimes it's just like tangerine, sometimes it's like ginger + lime, sometimes it's just lime.

I’ve been looking for a fragrance like this, it’s fantastic! if you enjoy the scent of natural ginger root. I recommend checking this one out. It’s zesty, a little spicy, a bit citrusy and a tad sweet. I mostly reach for this on warmer days. It has a zingy effervescence that’s hard to explain but to me it’s somewhat reminiscent of what you get when cracking a fresh can of ginger beer. Ahh.. so good!!!

Realistic ginger with it’s spicy, refreshing, and slightly sweet facets. Familiar M01 (Iso Gamma Super) presents ~ 30 minutes into the wearing and becomes more dominant as the ginger dissipates (though it never fully goes away). This is easily my favorite among the latest additions to the M01+ line. The freshness of this fragrance would lend itself very well to a hot summer day.

Very straightforward, not at all in a bad way...It is exactly what it purports to be. Fresh spicy ginger, like you are cutting the roots in the kitchen and the juices are on your hands, underlined by woodsy base notes. Very pleasant. Fresh and masculine. Not at all overwhelming, but neither understated. This one is a "buy"...only problem is that it fades far too quickly :(

Was shocked in store when spraying it on the test strip: smells literally like when you slice up ginger and crush it. Simple, to the point. I tried it on my skin, and it did show a little more depth, guess it's the Molecule 01. Loved it. It stayed for a pretty good chunk of time too, around 4h.

The opening is beautiful, freshly grated ginger. Fresh and spicy with that comforting molecule 01 dna, you can almost get that heat that real ginger has. This will really shine in warmer weather I think on a hot day it will radiate. Such a nice addition to the molecule + range

I'm not a huge fan of molecular scents, but the ginger in this pops! Love the realistic and bright ginger note. This is a layering fragrance for sure, as the ginger fades to a light accent after a bit. But it's on my to purchase list for sure!

Lemon/Lime and ginger opening. And middle. And drydown. Linear but strangely addictive. Very realistic fresh grated ginger. Only get a couple hours but very bright and uplifting. Might be worth a FB if can find half off.

Oh...this is beautiful! I received a compliment literally walking through the door into work wearing it. I love most of Geza's creations, and this is certainly another of his I'll be adding to the collection.

LOVE. Smells exactly like freshly grated ginger and a bit soapy like an expensive hotel shower gel. Great for layering and perfectly unisex. Super fresh and energetic. Longevity isn’t great I will say though.

That’s a simple but very enjoyable scent!! Love its juiciness and freshness. Lots of zesty and fizzy citruses mixed with cheerful ginger scent. Happiness in a bottle - as simple as that.

I am obsessed, this smells just like a fancy artisanal ginger ale. I love it. I only wish it could be more powerful so that I could smell it at all times

a lovely gourmand scent. smells spicy in a seasonless way and pleasantly woody. i sense a slight lemongrass influence as well.

Gorgeous, juicy, citrusy, spicy ginger. Gives a lemon verbena vibe too. I absolutely love how simple and unisex this is.

Very realistic ginger note. Slight spicy but then it wears off to a slightly sweet ginger + IsoE.

Green, clean, and somewhat astringent at first, with that M01 backbone warming it up later on.
