It doesn’t smell different on everyone.
It’s really cloying and it makes me feel a bit sick.

Lovely on me!

StrongLikeMamma · 28/10/2025 08:36

Is it though….? Also it totally smells the same on everyone.

You may not recognise it on other people....because it smells different on everyone 😆

I feel like I’d smell it anywhere - it’s so overpowering! 🤣

Are you sure it's that?? Isn't molecule 01 just iso super e and lots of perfumes have that as an ingredient. So maybe you're smelling different perfumes. When I wear it you can hardly smell it!

Oh everyone else certainly can smell it!
I know what it is because a friend was wearing it the other day and I asked what it was, because I smell it all over. It’s SO overpowering.

Ok just googled this and here’s what I find…

Molecule perfumes seem strong to some because they are based on a single, synthetic aroma-molecule, Iso E Super, at a high concentration, which has a unique effect on the wearer and those around them. Some people are highly sensitive to Iso E Super and can detect it strongly, while others are less sensitive or may experience "nose blindness," where the scent seems to disappear and reappear, as it interacts with their skin's pheromones. It's a scent that enhances the wearer's natural aroma with a woody, cedar-like note, but the perception of its strength varies significantly between individuals.

I guess I’m sensitive to it.

  • Enhancing effect: Even when it seems to have disappeared to the wearer, the molecule is still present and can be perceived by others around them, which adds to its mysterious and lasting quality.
Apparently!

I really didn’t like it either. I’m definitely a sweet perfume person though!

I like things like Chanel no 19 and Chloe and Jo Malone - it just smells quite chemical to me.
