Details & care

What it is: A set of five travel-size unisex fragrances that explore the radically minimalist world of Molecules and quench all your on-the-go scenting needs.

Fragrance story: Designed for exploration, this set enables you to try all five Molecule scents before determining your preferred olfactory escape. Pure and singular, the Molecule fragrances are radically minimalist and celebrate the chemical scents that make up the bulk of perfumes in their own right. Effects, not fragrances, where a single note aroma-chemical gives the most dynamic results: freshness and sex appeal. All five Molecule fragrances are brimming with character and unbeholden to gender distinctions. These moody beauties all hold a web of multifarious meanings, definitions and sensations.

Fragrances include:
- Molecule 01: Revolutionary Minimalism: Iso E Super
- Molecule 02: Mineral Amber: Ambroxan
- Molecule 03: Grassy Roots: Vetiveryl Acetate
- Molecule 04: Cocooning Radiance: Javanol
- Molecule 05: Piney Cashmere: Cashmeran

A Fascinating Journey Into Minimalist Perfumery

The Escentric Molecules Molecule Discovery Set is such a brilliant way to properly explore the brand and I have loved every minute of wearing it. Having all five Molecule fragrances in perfectly portable 8.5ml sizes makes it so easy to experiment and really understand how each aroma chemical behaves on my skin. I have been choosing one depending on my mood, spritzing onto my pulse points in the morning and occasionally layering two in the evening for something a bit more bespoke. Molecule 01 is that iconic, woody skin scent that comes and goes beautifully, Molecule 02 has a gorgeous mineral amber warmth, Molecule 03 feels fresh and grassy, Molecule 04 is radiant and slightly creamy, and Molecule 05 wraps you in a soft piney, cashmere like hug. They are subtle yet full of character, adapting to your skin and evolving throughout the day. This set is perfect for travel, for fragrance lovers who enjoy something a little different, or for anyone wanting to discover their signature in a modern, minimalist way.

Waste of money

Didn't like these at all. I think the modern thing is that you can't smell it, but it develops on your skin. A bit like the Emperor's New Clothes, not really there. I won't be purchasing again and certainly can't recommend. Reading the reviews I guess I am in the minority!

Perfumes are great but price has DOUBLED

I bought this set a few months ago for $45. It's a great way to sample their perfumes. It's worth it for $45, but I wouldn't pay $90! The fragrance is very light, so you need to spray a lot.

Great way to discover the famous molecular scents

This is quite a nice offering allowing to experience the entire molecule range with generous samples of 8,5ml. It also allows one to train their nose with these synthetic molecules. I’ve just ordered the Molecule set and also bought the Escentric set , this way you can really test them in all conditions and see which one is suitable for a full bottle buy. For now, Ambroxan (Molecule 02) seems to be my thing.

Perfect gift

Bought this for my husband as he wants to find a new perfume. I love this brand (primarily 001) but thought this was an excellent way to try out different scents before committing to one. They are a good size and think this is very good value. The packaging is cool too - makes a good gift.

Nice packaging but scents are meh

I have tried 2 of the perfumes so far, both are nice enough but haven't blown me away. I think I definitely prefer the other M range which is more expensive but perhaps why so will stick to this next time. On the plus side the packaging is really nice and I like the concept of the brand and how the scents are developed.

Fantastic way to try new perfumes

Molecule 01 has been my signature perfume for a long while - I'm trying to branch out and find a few more perfumes I love so this was a great way to try the other ones! I gifted the Molecule 01 mini to my sister so she could try it out :). I am absolutely in love with 02 and 03, they are so subtle but make me feel so confident. I would pass on 04 and 05 as they are both a bit stronger smells, but it's amazing that I didn't have to buy the full sizes to find that out! The packaging is also beautiful and sturdy and it comes with a booklet explaining all the scents, would be a lovely gift for someone.

Generous and delightful

So often you find discovery sets to be 2/3ml or less. But this set boasts 8ml samples that are not only a better indication of whether the secent suits you but also perfect purse size. I'm working way through but still can't decide which one is my favourite. Maybe I'll just buy another set because each scent gives you a different feeling and depending on my mood and occasion I'll make a different choice. After all, variety is the spice of life.

eh..

i was keen to try this set because escentric molecules offers such a unique take on perfumery. the holographic packaging is also really attractive. however, i found myself not blown away with any of the perfumes, and have no desire to purchase them.

Worth a try

I tend only to buy from discovery kit these days as it saves expensive mistakes. These are well priced as you could pay this price for a set with 2ml samples of a high end brand you get a fair amount to try before buy which is good as its best to try at different times of day and weather conditions to get a true idea of drydown. It also have the advantage of spraying better as the 2ml vials cant be hit and miss and its not always possible to get them to work. I found most of these scents tho they say are unisex i thought they seemed more orientated to musky woody.

Great

Smells great and is beautifully packaged! You get a good amount of perfume to try and will last for a while, good value for money! The scents also last for a good few hours at a time. I would recommend to anyone looking for a neutral fragrance, with cologne undertones

amazing discovery set with perfect sizes

I have been buying a ton of discovery sets rather then buying a full bottle only to not love it and have to return it. This discovery set blew me away. Great packaging. Nice booklet explaining the logic behind each scent and generous sizes. I loved it. I am probably ordering them all in full sizes.
