Molecule 01 + Patchouli

To appreciate this fragrance, your nose might need to be trained to detect Molecule 01 (iso e super). A lot of people here are saying they can't smell it for more than 20 minutes or they can't smell much of it at all. I think this one takes time to appreciate. Opens with a clean airy note that to me is slightly medicinal in a good way. Woody notes (cedar) come through in the middle with some earthy, leafy patchouli notes. The dry down leaves some of those patchouli notes blending with a dry, warm cedar from iso e super. Deep dry down skin scent is pleasant. Projection and longevity is a mystery because of how minimalistic this fragrance is and because of the apparent nature of iso e super. I'd say the effect will be similar to original Molecule 1 -- expect more projection and longevity than you (the wearer) would think. The patchouli notes in this fragrance are so nice. It's not the damp chocolatey patchouli variety. More of a medicinal airy patchouli. Still earthy and green-leafy though. It's a very clean accord and combined with the woody facets of iso e super, to me the composition is effortlessly masculine and sophisticated (though, truly a unisex fragrance). A clean and bright woody patchouli fragrance that is totally signature worthy and good for year-round wear. Very minimalistic (which is on-brand for EM) and probably unique. I've gone through almost half a bottle in under a year because I wear it all the time. I've gotten a couple compliments but I really wear this for myself. I layer with it when I want to boost patchouli and woody facets of my other fragrances but I mostly wear it on its own. Consider me a big fan of this one.

As someone who has an on again off again appreciation for patchouli I can say that this fragrance has really put me back on the patchouli train, maybe for good. If I had not already intended to gift this to a friend I would have kept it and happily used it myself. This patchouli scent is beautifully woody and has a great freshness to it that is not often what I would think of when I think patchouli (eg, incense). My boyfriend described the scent as being very reminiscent of art storage back rooms, a mix of canvas and wood. The projection is a nice armslength, not overpowering and very pleasant. The longevity is also quite good, lasting longer than both the 01+mandarin and 01+black tea. I put it on around 5pm and could still smell it around midnight. Overall I would say that this is a great scent if you enjoy patchouli and may surprise you with how much you like it if you don't. The 01+ series has been an absolute delight to try out and I love the iso base in them. I would say this scent is expensive but worth buying for the price if you enjoy it as much as I do.

This one is magic for me. Take note, I own and wear the original Molecule 1 (pure Iso-E), but we never quite hit it off. I think because I go nose blind too fast. However M+Patchouli is a different story. On me, this is a clean, earthy, and elegant patchouli. I don’t smell the cedar aspects, but maybe others can. I get LOADS of compliments with this one (all from men if that matters to you). The patchouli in this reminds me of a chic, spa or salon- it’s humid, green, deep, and almost fresh herbal/minty. It also reminds me a bit of the rich patchouli base of Aromatics Elixir which my elegant grandmother wore so beautifully. But be assured— M+Patchouli is thoroughly modern. I get excellent longevity and sillage here. One friend even told me he can smell as I approach before he sees me (in a good way). One spray on skin and one on clothes for 12+ hours of wear. If I spray my shirt in the morning, change for work, and then change back 12 hours later I will still get a compliment wearing the original shirt. Consider me a fan.

I love what Geza Schön tried to do molecule line. And molecule 01 + no exception, done it perfectly like Geza says "it's for persons looking for between escentric and molecules" After dozens of parfums i used, molecule 01 reminds me why im wearing parfums. It has to be smell good but same time create comfortable cloud around me. 01 + series adding some extra with great minimal touch. Patchouli make great combination with Iso E Super's woody tones for sure. Iso e super is nose blinding molecule and for users its going to fast undetectable. But remember it will be still there and time to time will remind himself. Patchouli is in it very good green wet fresh, a little dusty touch high quality and rounded well. You will aware it from start to end. I can say its at masculen side but confident mature womens can wear it too.

Fantastic. An easygoing, masculine daily scent. Not deliciously smoky like Le Labo Patchouli 24. It's earthy, damp. But it has a gritty intensity on my skin, like striking a match. Very sexy. For such an apparently simple composition, there's character — love the merging of different leaves — which you can't really call depth, so let's say resonance. It does amusingly remind me of Terre d'Hermes. But while that scent brings to mind a business suit, this is more... sarong? Price and range of sizes are great, though I'm ambivalent about Escentric's late-90s-graphic-designer-trying-too-hard packaging. Distinguished by simplicity — the quintessential you-wear-it not it-wears-you fragrance. It perhaps does what d'Orange Verte once did for my gramps. Keeps things calm.
