Negative Reviews of Molecule 03 by Escentric Molecules
Let me come straight to the point: Molecule 03, when applied to my skin, creates the most horrific stench I have ever smelled in my life, and I'm no spring chicken. After several hours it settles into a vetiver-like smell that is somewhat pleasant, but not thrilling. The end result is not worth the torture that must be endured to get there.
Hard pass. You've been warned. Of course, as with wine and beer preferences, "different strokes for different folks". This is not my "cup of tea".
I should note that Escentric 03, which includes this fragrance molecule along with several other notes, starts out with a somewhat unpleasant rubber-like scent and drys down to a much more pleasant base than does Molecule 03, presumably because of the other notes in the E 03. I have found other products from this house quite bottle-worthy, but not this one.

Not the worst and not even bad per say, but just kinda strange. Imagine celery juice mixed with Iso-E Super. Very light, scent comes and goes, like most Schoen creations.

It smells like something that you'd put in bleach to make sure that children don't drink it. "Worst thing I have ever smelled in my entire life" is a hotly contested category, but this would definitely make the shortlist.
01 absolutely has its place, and 02 does a job. 03 is a joke. Don't do it.

This is cold, sharp, metallic & metholated, with a strangely spicy green note closely resembling celery. lt is incredibly strong, & after four hours it has not changed or developed in any way, at which point l cannot stand it any more & scrub it off.
Wearing this, l feel like l've been whacked in the face by a giant stick of celery wrapped around an iron bar, & given a bloody nose into the bargain. Seriously one of the weirdest & most unpleasant things it has ever been my misfortune to smell. According to Luckyscent, this is supposed to be a vetiver "soliflore", but it's nothing like any vetiver that l've smelled before.
Please, do not go near this. l did it so you don't have to.
