Oxymoronic bliss…
Heavy yet light, loud but quiet, mild but bold. That’s what this is. If you think that the molecule scents are “the emperors new clothes” after smelling 01 and 02, give this one a whiff….

While it WILL have the same conundrums as the aforementioned ones do, even those that are less sensitive to it will smell it.

To the people that are more sensitive though? It is an everlasting woody explosion that lasts and lasts. I’m absolutely loving it, because it feels almost “playful” in how it appears and disappears.

You may be saying “I thought you said it was LOUD to you, how can it disappear then?”. It IS. But it’s the aura/sillage that is loud. It’s not in the “off the wrist” sniff that you feel the explosion, it’s the “airborne/in the air” wafts that you get. It almost feels like it’s stuck in the back of my nose. Grading this is difficult because of this. It’s as if the sillage trail/lingering is an absolute room filling experience, but projection is redefined. It’s not quite the same “experience”. It IS perceivable from long distances, but it’s not the same “off the skin” type of projection as say, Sauvage, where everyone knows it’s you, and that you are the center point of where it starts and ends. This is more like being in an area surrounded by a giant pasture full of strawberries or peaches. Miles and miles of those fruits surrounding you, and the wind is blowing. The way the smell of those fruits are extremely potent, surrounding you, and lingering imminently with no start or finish. So strong that it will stick to you, and you will still smell like that field when you get home. That’s how it feels.

Longevity is insane as well.

If you think the molecule scents are mythological or fictitious, explore more of the line, and you will find one. When you do, it will give you a whole new perspective on fragrances, and another way to enjoy them.

Buyer Beware!
I REALLY like this stuff, but buyer beware: this can be insidiously NUCLEAR. I own beastmode stuff, but this goes beyond that. 4 sprays of this can EASILY and generously fill an entire two storied home.

If you're a sandalwood lover, get this. Trust me. BUT, if or when you do get this, 1 spray is more than sufficient. And avoid putting it on clothing. The wash will not get this out. Altho it blends beautifully with laundry detergent, I find.

Anywho, that's my 2 scents.

My go to for...
This scent is something else. The way everybody likes it around you, but still don't know its you. In my opinion this is a room filler, but its gentle and educated. But when you walk close to someone they will turn they heads and look at you in a different way. It is classified as EDT but javanol is super strong, so in case you were asking, it lasts for HOURS, i got over 10 hours with just 3 sprays on my neck. I use it when going to the gym, or being home with my girlfriend or friends. I recommend it so much if you like Genetic Bliss by 27 87.

Confused, but not in a bad way?
I love it! Then I can't pick up the scent anymore and half an hour later I'm wondering what makes me keeps on sniffing around.

When I apply Molecule 04, I get hit with something, fresh, woody, a bit powdery and just like... clean?
It's addicting, and I love it.
Then it just disappears, even when I put my nose straight to my skin.
In one way or another, half an hour later, it pops up again, and I feel it's bubble around me and after that, it keeps on lingering in my nose.

Throughout the day, because I can definitely still smell it more than 10 hours later, I keep on chasing the scent and I can smell it, but then again, I can't. My skin just smells freshly washed and clean and soft and warm.
It sometimes makes me wonder if I'm not just imagining it.
On other people, it leaves a trail, but I seem to get noseblind to it?

I wish I could hold onto that first whiff of absolute goodness.

room filling, room filling, Molecule 04
Fragrance lovers

I have been interested in perfumes for quite some time and today I am writing my first comment. When I smelled Molecule 04 for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the delicate sandalwood scent.

So I went through the comments and statements about the Molecule fragrances. Some smelled nothing, others a hint of nothing at all. Again, some were fascinated by the H/S, so they even filled floors. So on my free day I went to a perfumery. The saleswoman even said that she received the most compliments on 01. But at this time I was already addicted to 04 and bought a bottling
Here's the thing: If I didn't write the lines to come, I wouldn't believe them. But you can really believe me. Yesterday morning I went to work and sprayed about eight splashes on my sweater of Molecules 04.

At the office, I was always surrounded by the smell. Since it was quite warm, I opened the window during the day to air out. When I went home in the evening with the bike Molecule 04 was always present. Now the incredible ...

When I got back to the office this morning, the whole office still smelled of Molecule 04. I couldn't believe it! So I went to work and opened the window again today to get some fresh air. But Molecule 04 stayed...
The last time I walked from the printer to the office in the evening, after two days the smell was in the air, unbelievable.

Now I have found my office scent at last.

Ps: One employee wears Escentric Molecule 02 and the phenomenon with the complete room filling is the same with him. Approx. 1-2 meters in front of his office there is already smoking.

Stay tranquilo

I love M01 (and +Iris), but 04 falls flat for me: it's barely perceptible, no glorious sandalwood I hoped for. Good for layering only.

Long-lasting sandalwood that's great on it's own or used as a base for layering. Great in the summer, works all-year round.

A beautiful beast! Creamy. Reminds me of baked hazelnuts. Very potent in case of longevity and projection but it's not thick or heavy. WOW!

Do I smell it? Do I get a tiny hint of citrus? I don’t know man. It’s supposed to be an aphrodisiac. Well it’s all too subtle for me.
