Esscentric 01

Olfactory Experience

Esscentric 01 by Fragrance World opens with a woody, almost paper-like whisper. Iso E Super is the star, just like in the original Molecule 01. There's a cedar nuance that leans slightly pencil shavings. It's clean, minimalist, and slightly addictive. Comparing it to Escentric Molecules' creation, this clone captures about 87% of the essence. The biggest difference? A slightly more synthetic cedar note; it lacks the airy transparency of the original. The "velvet notes" are faint, adding a soft, musky background. The drydown retains the woody aroma, but it remains close to the skin.

The Performance Stats

Longevity is moderate. I get about 4-5 hours of noticeable scent, then it becomes a skin scent for another 2-3. Projection is subtle, creating a personal bubble rather than filling a room. Don't expect beast mode. This is for intimate encounters or adding a subtle layer of intrigue to your aura.

Is it Worth It?

This is a solid option if you're curious about the Iso E Super phenomenon without breaking the bank. It captures the vibe of quiet confidence and understated cool. However, Esscentric 01 delivers a very similar experience. This one's for the minimalist, the intellectual, the person who prefers to whisper their intentions rather than shout them. A great everyday choice, especially for those who work in close proximity to others.
