Molecule 03

Oh, I'm going to love you my beautiful 03!! The smell of vetiver is completely characteristic. balanced green; In my opinion, it isn't too much green that bothers you (like as Good Life by Davidoff), and not too much weak that it doesn't show the greenness of the fragrance. It has a deep and warm smell. It is not earthy and moistury like other types of vetiver, so I think that the type of vetiver is indonisian.(not Haitian or Indian) From the beginning, it smells like the last note of Amouge Opus 7. with this difference that it doesn't have the strong spicy smell in the opening notes of Opus 7 at all, and from the beginning it's smells like the drydown of Opus 7 It is only suitable for winter and autumn, because overall it is a warm fragrance. It has a smell similar to Encre Noir by Lalique in base note that oudy smell is added to Molecule 03. آخه من قربونت برم 03 قشنگم!! بوی وتیور کاملا تویش مشخصه. یه مقدار سبز؛ به نظر من نه زیاد که آدم رو کلافه کنه (مثل گود لایف داویدوف) ودر واقع مثل بوی چمن تازه اصلاح شده رو بده و نه هم اونقدر کم که سبز بودن عطر رو نشون نده. بوی عمیق و گرمی داره. خاکی و مرطوب مثل گونه های دیگر وتیور نیست. بویش از اولش مثل بوی نت میانی و نت آخری آمواژ اپوس 7 هستش. با این تفاوت که اون بوی ادویه ای شدید در نتهای ابتدایی اپوس 7 رو اصلا نداره واز همون اول بوی درای داون اپوس 7 رو میده از نظر من فقط برای زمستان و پاییز مناسبه؛‌ چون در مجموع عطر گرمیه بویی شبیه به انکره نواق هم داره. ولی فقط در نتهای انتهایی که بوی عودی به ۰۳ اضافه میشه.

The confusing thing with Escentric Molecules fragrances is the names. People confuse the Molecule fragrances with the Escentric fragrances, they confuse the numbers, and so about half the reviews on any Escentric Molecules fragrance page are for the wrong fragrance. I've often wondered how people could smell celery in Molecule 02 or Escentric 02. There's lots of mentions of celery on those pages, and I really couldn't wrap my head around how ambroxan could smell like celery to some. So yesterday I was sampling around, and Molecule 03 is the only EM fragrance I hadn't actually sampled, so I tried it, and it all makes sense now. All those people complaining about a celery note were talking about Molecule 03! They're getting the numbers and names mixed up. Molecule 03 definitely smells of celery and I love it! At the same time it's a grassy vetiver smell. It's really not a clean vetiver, but it's not extremely dirty either, it is definitely vegetal and green though. Not as fresh or citrusy as I had expected. In fact it's not fresh or citrusy at all. Makes me wonder how this wears in hot weather. Not sure if this could hold up as a fragrance on its own, I should give it a full wear first. It's probably great for layering though.

When I smelled Molecule 03 (MO3) for the first time, after becoming much more acquainted with it's more popular and trendy older brothers Molecule 01 & 02, I was shocked that this was a part of the same family! It's NOTHING like M01 and M02, it's a completely, totally different creature!!! Surely M03 was adopted into this family, because it stands so far apart from anything else (except for Kinski it is definitely brothers with Kinski) Molecule 03 is purely stunning. - it's all the best parts of vetiver. If you are into vetiver after falling in love with the likes of Encre Noir, Sycamore or Route du vetiver this will be totally up your alley. It's rooty, shroomy, acidic, earthy, dirty and SHARP. 10/10 -- Great silliage

This whole range is strange to me, why would you go for slightly green or other skin scents ? Does the science entertain or allure people ? For me Mugler cologne, Serge Luten friode, and TDH Tres Fraiche all are light ,lovely and become skin scents. That being said, this is my favorite of all the molecule or escentric molecules available. I can smell this one and it smells like a transparent and slightly green vetiver that is rounded, thus not sharp. It is nice and I will look for it discounted for a casual fall night and spring day fragrance. Overall pretty good, but I personally do not care for the rest.

Not sure how people don't like this. Even more curious how someone called it a "mess". It's just one note. one. Vetiver acetate. that's it. What is vetiver known for: warm, sharp, earthy, and very very green. If you've ever wanted to take the woods and ink out of Encre Noir and just see the vetiver, this is it. Smells exactly the same for like 12 hours. Not huge projection to offend anyone, but you'll enjoy it for yourself.
