molecule 02 is a unisex molecular perfume with only one note: ambroxan. Ambroxan is in the amber scent family (duh), but to me, in this formulation, it smells woody and clean. it lasts a long time, is easy to acquire at a cheap price point, layers well (if you decide you want to get super into fragrance later), and isn’t super strong (it lasts on clothes but sits close to skin, but you’ll get pleasant whiffs throughout the day). I def think it could suit your desires and is worth checking out!!
This it the kind of scent that will leave those within a couple feet of you trying to put their finger on its opulence for hours afterward. This fragrance is more of a feeling. On application it has a warm, woodsy quality, with an after note of floral sweetness. Its central ingredient of ambroxin morphs the middle notes of the fragrance to the nose based on your skin chemistry/ ph, giving it an intoxicating, lascivious artificial quality. It feels like running your fingers over silk. The saccharine blend of sugar and tapioca powder, like an embrace and being the last person awake at night all at the same time. Perfectly ambiguous in its qualities, and perfectly limitless to those who can (and should) wear it.

I recently acquired a book of matches from my parents’ wedding and have been using it to light my bedtime candle. there’s just something so satisfying about hitting just the right angle on the book to strike it and smelling that smoke!
