Molecule 01 Escentric Molecules 2006

Anyone who likes to listen to music will know the feeling that comes when a new album hits their ears. For me it feels - and that unfortunately does not happen often - like an unexpected gift and I listen with pleasure through the different songs.
Exactly the feeling of happiness sets in with me when I - mostly by chance - stumble upon a very special fragrance that captivates me. In my youth it was "Madame" by Jean Paul Gaultier, in my early 20s "Armani Code Femme". Since then, I've encountered many pleasant scents in all price ranges. But it was never again that I wanted to soak my world in it....
... until one spring day when I was walking in the Rheinaue in Bonn. A young attractive woman walked past me and even from a distance I admired her for her style. She was dressed for the office, but did not appear staid but fresh and modern. As she approached immediately, I caught her scent and initially classified it as "quite delicious". However, with every step I took away from her and her discreet "scent trail" evaporated more and more through the wind, I had the desire to smell more of it. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, I turned and walked behind her and asked her about her perfume. "Molecule 1" was her response and I hadn't heard or read anything about it until this point. I quickly typed a note with the name into my phone and started researching it at home. What I got to read made me curious. Supposedly not everyone can smell the scent or perceive it differently. That made me like it even more - I like polarizing people, so why not try a polarizing scent?

So I had to see for myself. Smelling it worked out as I knew how the scent would work on my skin, but was open until then. A few days later I looked in the perfumery of my confidence and - what luck - I could test the fragrance on the spot and did not hesitate to mist my wrists with it. Overlaid with the smell of the surroundings, I was initially disappointed - the scent was not at all like the fresh, green smell I had noticed on the young woman. Disappointed, I left the store.
I strolled through the shopping street and suddenly he rose to me in the fresh air then still in the nose. There it was, the scent I had missed since our first encounter! And he smelled exactly as expected.
Surely I will eventually go in search of a new "the one fragrance" again, but for three years now I've been happily forgiven for "Molecule 1" and enjoy every expression that it takes on my skin over the day.
If asked what the scent smells like to me, I would answer in layman's terms with "meadow, spring, water, the cocktail "Aviation", sun, intelligence, androgyny and lightness". Experts would probably throw their hands up in horror at this description - but for me, it evokes exactly these images
