I went on a date with a girl who wrote product reviews for Vice. Just another day in Brooklyn. “Have you heard of this fragrance?” she asked. “I’m writing a review of it—it’s one of my picks for holiday guy gifts.” We made out under the J train and I never saw her again. But I did read her review of Molecule 01…the rest is history. I’ve worn it religiously ever since. Elusive, it comes and goes as it pleases. Pheromonic. Simple, minimal, synthesized, modern. Four-and-half stars since nothing in this life is perfect, although this is close.
