   Escentric Molecules knows how to compose, and Molecule 04 (2017) is proof. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Sandalwood, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood feel carefully balanced. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   Escentric Molecules knows how to compose, and Molecule 04 (2017) is proof. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Sandalwood, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Sandalwood comes forward — smooth and well done. The trail is there if someone steps close, not across the room. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Molecule 04. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Sandalwood comes forward — smooth and well done. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. Sadly this one does not work on my skin.

   I have owned Molecule 04 for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. Give it a little time and Sandalwood comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood feel carefully balanced. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   Escentric Molecules knows how to compose, and Molecule 04 (2017) is proof. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Sandalwood, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood feel carefully balanced. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   A friend passed me a decant of Molecule 04 (2017) and I wasn’t prepared for it. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Sandalwood, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Sandalwood comes forward — smooth and well done. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   I picked up Molecule 04 (2017) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Sandalwood, which is where the fragrance really shines. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   I’ve been wearing Molecule 04 on and off for a few weeks now (2017). The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Sandalwood comes forward — smooth and well done. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. I wanted to like it more than I did.
