Reviews of Escentric 01
by Escentric Molecules

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 really wanted to like this, but after getting a decant, I'm not so thrilled. The pepper and lime peel scent reminds of of the condiments you put on food (but it doesn't remind me of food!), and it really, really comes on strong. After a while, those drop off to the background. The Iso E Super is nice in its smooth, warm scent, and is one of those memory-invoking smells. However -- and I don't know why -- I started getting vaguely nauseous from smelling this. I think it's because I was very turned off by the top notes.

Overall, however, it's a unique, challenging and intriguing scent (I can imagine others being intrigued by it as you walk past and they get a whiff of your frag) and it's good for a try because it's probably unlike anything else out there. I suggest getting a decant to test it out first.

I immediately get a very nice woodnote, and I don’t get much else—at least no lime and not very much pepper. I think the wood note comes through quite nicely, though, and it is not weak at all. It’s a strange one that seems to get stronger as it goes along. It lasts and last. As much as I enjoy it, I find it hard to think of it as a legitimate fragrance—its name really throws me: Iso E Super presents Escentric from Escentric Molecules. It’s a very nice fragrance but it is nowhere near worth what it’s priced at.
