Got this as a sample because I do enjoy quite a few of the Molecules fragrances, but they really need to slow down with the new releases. This is the third one they’ve launched this year, and sadly it’s the third disappointment.

It opens nicely with a fresh herbal kick, but that quickly gives way to something that, to my nose, is uncomfortably reminiscent of cat pee. The Iso E Super is there, but it doesn’t really emerge until an hour or so later. By then the unpleasant note has faded, but I just can’t get past that initial impression.

Sadly, another miss. Again.

      I wasn’t the biggest fan of Champaca, to my nose it smelled a little like when you leave you clothes in the washer for too long and they dry all musty! Cologne One was okay but nothing to write home about

      You should still give it a go! It could be just my funny nose picking up on things!
