âMolecule 01 (Iso E Super): A projection booster that creates an airy, hovering cloud of subtle cedarwood around you, making your perfume radiate further.Molecule 02 (Ambroxan): A longevity anchor that smells like warm, salty skin and acts like glue, making your perfume last hours longer.â
âthe opening smells like the adhesive of a freshly licked envelopeI'm waiting for it to wow me... *looks at clock* ...waiting to understand it.... can't get the bottle of Elmer's Glue out of my head. *shrug*EDIT: I understand it now. Wearing it today and while the opening still smells like adhesive, it becomes more like magazine pages fresh off the press. It is very comforting, nostalgic and reminds me of autumn. The introverted cousin to Another 13.â
âMolecule 01 is the perfect winter scent to me. A lot of people wear it in summer and spring but for me it remindes me of winter. It smells very unique and calming. It has a sweet woodsy cedar scent and airyness but also this deliciousness to it. It smells very etherial to me. It is very unisex. It is a very high quality fragrance and lasts quite long on the skin but the scent does come and go as it is a one molecule skin scent so does cause some nasal fatigue due to it not being complex like other fragrances.â

Sillage
The clone delivers comparable longevity but with noticeably reduced sillage and a marginally harsher iso e super tone. Fragrance World's version reads more linear and less nuanced, missing some of the original's sophisticated drydown characteristics.

Sillage
Montaigne Vanille introduces prominent vanilla and warm musks that are completely absent from Molecule 01's stripped-down iso e super formula. The original's transparent, almost invisible-skin-scent quality is replaced by a sweet, noticeable fragrance with traditional base notes.

Sillage
