Perfumery may be an ancient art form, but there’s also a lot of science behind it, and Escentric Molecules is one perfume house dedicated to the chemistry behind intoxicating scents.
This unique approach to perfumery has won them acclaim and a true cult following, and I have been meaning to get around to picking my absolute faves for quite some time now.
6 Best Escentric Molecules Perfumes
Here are the six feminine Escentric Molecules fragrances that truly display what makes this perfume house unique, in my opinion.
1. Molecule 01 + Black Tea Eau de Toilette
Review
Despite being made up of only Iso E super, black tea, and maté tea absolute, this is a complex and evocative scent that really represents the many variations of tea itself: By turns bitter, sweet, and dry.
Notes:
Iso E Super, Black Tea, Maté Tea Absolute

2. Molecule 01 + Iris Eau de Toilette

Iris perfumes has a distinctive creamy and powdery undertone that is hard to replicate. That unique undertone is what Molecule 01 + Iris celebrates with full gusto. This is a sweet, elegant, and fresh fragrance.
