Molecule 01 + Ginger
by Escentric Molecules
Molecule 01 + Ginger presents a clean, green profile that initially reads as sharp and astringent, with a prominent lemongrass-like freshness reminiscent of freshly cut ginger. Over time, the scent evolves into a warmer, subtly sweet musky-amber drydown, bolstered by the signature Iso E Super backbone typical of Escentric Molecules. The fragrance is most appreciated during warmer months, particularly summer, when its crisp, radiant character shines. It transitions gradually from a sharp, citrusy opening to a smooth, well-rounded drydown, though some find the early phase unpleasantly soapy or plasticky. Despite variations in olfactory experience, most agree the scent becomes more approachable and pleasant after an hour of wear.
Pros
- +The fragrance evolves into a smooth, versatile, and universally wearable profile with a clean, warm character
- +Its longevity is moderate to long, making it suitable for full-day wear
- +The scent pairs well with warm weather and daily wear, and some find it highly complementary to summer days
Cons
- −The initial phase can be overly sharp, astringent, or unpleasantly soapy/cheap, especially for sensitive noses
- −Many reviewers note the scent reads more like lemongrass than ginger and lack full ginger authenticity
- −On some individuals, it feels fleeting or lacks depth, with a tendency to drift into a simpler drydown
