Digital Iso E Lime System
A fresh biting peppery note coupled with lime and juniper-gin fragrance. I purchased for myself, but ended up giving to my father. This smells better on a man to me. On my skin this was simply to intensely peppery and brisk with a sharp bitter gin& tonic kind of lime note. On a man this is an excellent clean smart daytime office or casual fragrance that last about 8 hours and changes over time as it melds with the wearers unique body chemistry. I picture this on high powered attorneys, investment bankers and motivational speakers galore. This is quite bracing and dry, initially and not remotely offensive and will appeal to anyone who doesn't want to announce that they care about their fragrance too much, but wants to smell somewhat unique and well-groomed.
The base has a healthy dose of orris root with benzoin in it as well, along with a whole wad of Iso-E- Super and synthetic clean musk provides a little bit of powdery earthiness later on in the show and really rounds this fragrance out making it more than just a simple zesty splash-n-go cologne.
I must add that the bottle is very tech savvy, with its binary code and barcode abstraction and I think this design will draw interest for the stylish IT Programmer/WebMaster who has everything.
I bought the travel size 30 ml which came in an intricate fold out cardboard case with a special nozzle holding design, compensating for the fact that this bottle is sold without a cap, which is a bit tricky for travel. Over all though it was a delightful discovery and the feedback from my father has been positive, he doesn't "Love it" but he finds it pleasant and will use the bottle up, he also noted that it didn't bother his legendary allergies to most florals and heavy musks. No complaints from his girlfriend either. At one point after sampling the whole line in one day, I had plans to "collect all six", but I quickly backed off of that idea after realizing Escentric 01 lacks the sort of 'Je ne sais quoi' that would cause a random stranger to stop and ask what I was wearing- and that's my niche. There's a lot of hype around Escentric Molecule's rather simple and ingenious plan to make Iso-E the star instead of the roadie for Molecule 01 and Escentric 01, but in spite of this I think it really works well with a lot of people's chemistry. I give it a firm handshake and welcome it aboard.

ESCENTRIC 01 – I was so glad, that I could bagging a sample from it! The descriptions were quite interesting, and I could not wait to wear it.

Oh, so far from being unisex on my skin! It is manly and smoky, the incense dings clearly. Later on it gets milder, the last stage is not too surprising with a plain salty cloud. I have to admit, ESCENTRIC 01 could be a natural wear for men, but it smells strange on my skin.

The scent is not too brave, endurance is average. I like bold fragrances, so we could not develop a big friendship with ESCENTRIC 01, but it can be considered as a perfect choice for those, who like low-key perfumes.

Skin-adapting
I wore Molecule 02 and i wasn't too happy about it. It worked only when humidity is high, when was raining , and i got myself a headache trying to figure out where it's gone for an hour or two. So happy i only had a decant. This one also have in a form of decant, but it is much more like a real perfume, because it has another notes exept abstract one, Iso E Super. I like it' s citrusy and woodsy vibe, very fresh and androginus, very calming and non offensive, still interesting and challenging. It it like a cameleon that works with individual skin chemistry. It is different on me every time. It depend on my hormones, bodylotion i'wearing, even my mood, it "catch" all of those environemental elements plus individual skin uniqueness and than works completely different every time. I want a full bottle!

Perfect
We had a conference. A colleague entered the room and I could smell him from 3 meters away, without being hit in the face. During the lunch break, I asked him and he told me an interesting story about how he got the fragrance through three connections.
I must admit that until a year ago, I hadn't heard anything about the fragrance, but I went straight to Breuninger in Düsseldorf and asked for it. Unfortunately, the lady sold me Molecules 01, which you can't smell. Yes, yes, I know, fine noses can detect it, but for me, there was nothing. Luckily, I was able to exchange it the next day and got this one, the "right" one.
When I apply it, it's like a shower, like a wellness visit and a great breakfast. It instantly lifts my mood; it naturally smells of ISO E but also a lot of wood, smoky and yet "cuddly," with light melodic undertones. It's hard to describe. But I would love a laundry detergent with that scent.
I want to have it all the time. I even bought the 30 ml bottle for traveling.

Smelling like a West Package...
I had a suspicion and it has been confirmed...

The scent reminds me of a West package - every East German who is old enough will know what I mean.

In our packages, there was usually coffee, cocoa, and gummy bears, and each package had that very special smell that you would never encounter anywhere else. Neither in the "Kaufhalle" (where it smelled mostly of rotten potatoes) nor in the "HO" (the quasi-Karstadt for East Germans). Such a scent only existed in West packages, and that's why everyone knows what scent I'm referring to :-).

In this regard, I can somewhat relate to the description "smells like unpacking a new MacBook," although it probably isn't the MacBook itself that smells like that, but rather the packaging or some other part.

But anyway: I initially perceive the scent as a bit ... scratchy... like when you suck on glucose tablets (at least it always scratches my throat), and it smells a bit like that too. After about 10 - 15 minutes when the scent changed, I thought - "No! Not glucose tablets... It's a West package!". So it somehow smells like coffee and gummy bears and freedom and longing :-).

The end then becomes leathery for me. As if you were wearing a new leather jacket or sitting on a leather sofa.

All in all, a very flattering scent. Very subtle, very close to the body, very fleeting yet lasting (still perceptible the next day). You certainly won't clash with this scent, and no one will wrinkle their nose; most people will probably find it rather pleasant...

BUT - and here's the reason why this scent is nothing for me: Who wants to smell like a West package? Who wants to smell like a MacBook? Who wants to smell like perfection or ... let's say: joy?

Yes! Joy is nice! But constantly? Every feeling, whether positive or negative, is exhausting or even burdensome in the long run. That's probably why phases of infatuation only last a few weeks or at most a couple of months. Because we simply can't endure it longer - neither physically nor psychologically. This scent is light... and exhausting! Exhausting because it is so light, so intangible... You try to chase it and grab it, but it's already gone... It smiles at you, you smile back... It just keeps smiling, and eventually, you can't anymore. This scent is as exhausting as a perpetual grin... And the name is completely mischosen; it should be called "Schizophrenia" or "Absurdity"!

I like edges! I like corners! I like wrinkles! I like directness - preferably straightforward! I like it when people wrinkle their noses because they don't like my scent. I like polarization. I also like provocation...

This scent is none of that! It is boring! For me!

GET TO THE POINT! GET TO THE MATTER! It doesn't do that! It just grins!

Thank you!

I really like Molecule 01, but for me this doesn’t work. It’s like a great perfume (M01) was layered with random stuff. Disappointed.

Low-key racetrack burning rubber and hedione (synthetic jasmine). Strange combo perhaps, but works for me. Unisex but leaning male for sure.

Citric and spicy light woody notes brought perfectly together. Sillage changes a lot - as if by magic. Creative and fine!

I see the connection to M01, this helped me pick up on iso-e, every other note is really subtle. Maybe good for a fragrance conservative space

Familiar Iso-wood, clean white musk, hesitant iris with natural limes. Weak resins.
Paul Smith suit? Perfectly neat!
