Molecule 01 + Black Tea
by Escentric Molecules
Molecule 01 + Black Tea offers a refined, minimalist interpretation of black tea, characterized by a dry, herbal, and subtly woody character. The scent opens with a bright, zesty citrus and airy iso e super, creating a fresh, almost clean impression reminiscent of dried tea leaves rather than brewed tea. As it settles, the fragrance evolves into a warm, meditative blend of wood and musk, with a faint, pleasant fruitiness that adds depth without sweetness. While the projection and longevity are moderate and not consistently strong across skin, the scent is often described as beautifully subtle, layered, and atmospheric—evoking quiet moments, cool summer evenings, or the serene ambiance of a tea house. It performs best in warm weather and is particularly well-suited for day wear, especially in professional settings where a discreet but distinctive scent is desired. The olfactory journey is introspective and calming, making it ideal for those seeking a refined, unisex tea fragrance with a touch of mystery and dry elegance.
Pros
- +Delivers a sophisticated, dry take on black tea with herbal and woody nuances that feel distinct and elegant
- +Extremely unisex and wearable during the day, especially in summer; ideal for office or casual settings
- +Great olfactory journey with a gentle transition from citrus and iso e super to a woodsy, musky dry down
Cons
- −Projection and longevity are inconsistent across skin, often faint and light beneath the surface
- −Some users report a rubbery or soapy note in the opening, making it less appealing to sensitive noses
- −Does not perform as well on clothing as on the skin, with some finding a faint, none pleasant chemical or wood-acrid dry note
