Escentric 01
by Escentric Molecules

To create Escentric 01, just take Black XS for men, take away the pralines and spices, then add more Iso E Super and make the lime extremely sour instead of sweet, and there you have it. This was seriously so sour that when I think of it, my cheeks twinge the same way they do before biting into a lime, only in the worst way. It actually makes my face feel weird! I guess it's obvious that I really didn’t like this at all. The heavy does of Iso E Super in this is intriguing, but the fragrance is linear and boring overall for me. For my daily dose of Iso E Super, I'd rather stick to my Black XS for men and Light Blue for women, (they're both heavy on the Iso E Super, but much more complex and much, much better).

If you'd like to discover what Iso E Super smells like, try Molecule 01 instead (it's pure 100% Iso E Super with nothing else), and skip this one. Then go out and try either Black XS or Light Blue for a nice mix of supporting notes and most importantly, your money's worth.

4/10

Escentric 01 is, simply, Molecule 01 (or Iso E Super) with pink pepper, lime and incense thrown into the mix. The overall effect is a citrus and pepper opening (that smells like gin and tonic) with a cedar-incense drydown.

It'd be much cheaper to purchase some Iso E Super, from a perfume supplier, and then layer it with a woody fragrance of your choice.

The whole concept's a complete rip-off...

Better than Molecule 01, this is peppery and woody and overall a more pleasant experience than Molecule 01. You can't smell it on yourself but on paper you can. I'll call it the Phantom Frag.

I obsessed over this for months! It's completely unlike anything else; there's something more abstract about it, perhaps because of that high Iso E content. From the pepper and citrus opening to the cedar-chemical drydown, this scent is amazing. AMAZING. Modern and nuanced and exciting.

"electrifying" peppery and lime peel notes which reverbrates and resonates like when you touch a massager..the notes are really vibrant and keeps jumping up and down with joy! its really a fun scent with woody notes too adding to its charm. its like they have "hit" a "note", which is sooo beautiful, that you cud hear it forever. a must buy for anyone who is looking for a fresh scent. you will pray for summers so that you could douse yourself on this and go out walking in the sun with your fav raybans on. a big thumbs up!

A very nice wood note that lasts. It would be even nicer with a bit of complexity. Gets a thumbs up nevertheless.
