The review

I'm scores 6.0 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Molecule 01 + Mandarin.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Molecule 01 + Mandarin's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 43% less than Molecule 01 + Mandarin — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 + Mandarin is mandarin at first, mandarin and Iso E Super at its heart and Iso E Super at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
