This feels like an official test showing how Iso E Super can amplify a composition. This Molecule version turned out to be the most masculine. It will suit those who wanted the first Molecule but with more emphasis on strength and brutality. The black tea here is almost indistinguishable from tobacco and smells very natural. Iso E Super in the base keeps the scent on the skin all day, even though I applied only a few small sprays from a decant. Despite the almost monotonous composition, light nuances of men’s perfume can be heard alongside the tea and tobacco. Definitely going into my collection

The oud fragrance is really impressive, it's very feminine. The ringing oud combined with rose, musk, and saffron creates an interesting effect. Air temperature greatly influences its development: in the heat, it unfolds especially beautifully, while in the coolness, the rose is more noticeable. The longevity is simply amazing, as is the concentration - one small spritz is enough for the whole day. It's easy to overdo it, so be careful!

This fragrance became a real milestone for me, a story etched in memory. In the early 2000s, it opened the doors to the world of niche perfumery for me, and since then, I can't forget it. In an era where every second fragrance is just a clone, CDG - 2 stands out with its uniqueness. Breaking it down into notes is almost impossible; it's like an inky cloud that envelops and doesn't let go. Despite its changeability, it remains whole and deep, which makes it truly special 😔

The smell of burnt wood with smoke, like memories of something lost. And nearby, a new but expensive leather jacket that doesn't warm the soul. The scent is beautiful, but it has a certain heaviness that weighs on the heart 😔

The smoky frankincense is not bad, of course, but it's not worth praising it so much. It's too intrusive, it gets right in your nose. Warmth and woody notes, yes, but this is clearly not for women. It feels like wearing something too masculine, and there's no unisex vibe here

Well, listen, I was expecting something more interesting than just a bunch of woods. Yes, I love woody notes, but I wanted something fresh, not another banality. These 'Garçons-esque' scents, of course, sound tempting, but in reality, it's just another fragrance that doesn't evoke any emotions. It's not bad, I guess, but nothing special. Warm, yes, but not for frosty weather, rather for when you're sitting in a cozy sweater with tea. Agreed, in such moments it might seem pleasant, but it's no reason to be thrilled. In summer, it will most likely just get lost among other fragrances. And this note pyramid - well, I don't know, it's just not impressive. Texas cedar, oud, patchouli - all this has been done before, nothing new. The perfumer, of course, tries, but in my opinion, this isn't a case for rejoicing ))))

Don't mislead people, this is not a fake, but part of the Montale International Collection, made in the UAE. This series includes fragrances like the famous Kabul Aoud and Aoud Samarkand, which, by the way, also has a green bottle. Perhaps Montale has its own policy, and only fragrances produced in Europe are sent to Europe. But in some online stores, you can also find fragrances from the Emirates. You just need to know where to look
