They'll Back Me Up—This Perfume Brand Is Every Beauty Editor's Secret to Smelling Subtly Chic

Here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK, we're a perfume-obsessed team. While some of our editors love clean-smelling fragrances and others love sweet perfumes, there is one fragrance brand that unanimously unites my colleagues no matter our scent preferences—Escentric Molecules. Launched in 2006 and founded by perfumer Geza Schoen, Escentric Molecules quickly became one of the most defining niche fragrance brands among fashion and beauty insiders due to one particular scent, Molecule 01, which still to this day is considered one of the most popular perfumes around.

Containing just one scent molecule—Iso E Super—Molecule 01's uniquely appealing aroma quickly put Escentric Molecules on the map. In fact, when Schoen first experimented with wearing Iso E Super out at a bar, he was inundated with people asking him what he was wearing. When it comes to fragrances, Molecule 01 is the ultimate minimalist scent. Think of it as the fragrance equivalent of a perfectly cut white T-shirt—everyone should have one in their wardrobe, no matter your personal style. It's designed to be worn alone, but the minimal scent profile makes it ideal for layering as a perfume enhancer.

But while Molecule 01 is generally considered the best Escentric Molecules perfume, other, lesser-known scents in the brand's offering are equally as good. Having tried every scent from the brand, these are the Escentric Molecules perfumes everyone should have on their radar.
