Description
“MOLéCULE 234.38 is based on one, big molecule as the dominating ingredient.
The molecule interacts with ones own pheromones – in a sense making it more of a phenomenon than an actual fragrance.
The composition of the molecule, as well as it’s weight, corresponds with the temperature of body and surroundings, making it an active part of the fragrance. The fragrance will evolve and retract continuously over a period of ten hours.
The main challenge in creating this phenomenon, was to combine completely contradictory molecules, that when combined adapts to the person wearing it – the person’s state of mind, physical condition, and the surroundings.
This deeply personal interaction creates a highly sensual fragrance that is as unique, and as lovely, as each person wearing it.
A love affair of a lifetime” — press release of the brand. MOLéCULE 234.38 was launched in 2013.

The description is probably misleading. There is no evidence that humans naturally emit pheromones.
Still, this is a pleasent woody-aquatic scent. It works only when worn in warm weather, otherwise it will be hard to notice.

kinetisphere: I have Pink molecule and this one too, and they are not similar at all. Pink molecule also has iso e super, but it smells mostly of grape mixed with molecule. It is fresh.
This one on the contrary is very sweet, deep and not fresh at all, and in this one the molecule is much more niticeable than in the Pink molecule.
I think both of them are mostly feminine. Cant imagine a man wearing this one.
The molecules 08 from Zarkoperfume is for men and Inception too, I think

This one smells a lot like the molecules 01 from escentric molecules, but it is sweeter and deeper than 01.
I like it on others, but do not buy it as a blind buy. On me it has some rotten note in it, when I wear it, so I totally dont like it on myself

minimal and masculine.

To me it smells exactly like the I Coloniali effervescent bath tablets. They colour your bath water turquoise and leave this fizzy marine fresh smell on your skin. This is the tablets I love so much in a bottle!

I am in love with molecule 234.38! It smells so delightful, it’s like it’s a part of you when you wear it. And as many have pointed out, it does disappear and then reappear all day, all of a Sudden you smell something lovely and at other Times you can’t quite detect it. I love that actually. I get headaches very easily with smells and scents, but with this I don’t. It is also impossible to over use it.
When i first tested this I was shopping with my friend and she kept stopping to sniff me the rest of the day saying I smelled sooooo good!
I really like the idea of the perfume mixing with your own pheromones, although I can’t say if that’s the case, anyhow it does smell like nothing else I’ve ever experienced which may be why i am obsessed with it. I am scandinavian, from Sweden, and I read that Zarko designed the scents with inspiration from and for the Scandinavian life style, and I can only agree that I get a Scandinavian vibe from this but I believe everyone everywhere would enjoy this.
Give it a go, I knew 10 minutes after testing it that I loved it!

Many people are anosmic to ISO E Super, meaning they can’t smell it, including myself. I have not tested this perfume here, but I have experience with other perfumes containing high levels of ISO E Super. It just baffles me when I spray perfume on my skin and I can’t smell anything at all. I have read somewhere that about 25% of people can’t smell ISO E Super or have a bad reaction to it. Personally I wish ISO E Super was banned from perfumery all together.

First time I tried this was at a launch party at my local perfume store. I had a long talk with Mr. Zarko (who by the way is a really cool guy) about he’s creations, and was excited to try this out. Earlier this year (2014) it received an award for best perfume at the danish fashion awards.
So I tried it at the store and I smelled nothing! So we applied some more and still nothing. I know that my skin eats perfume and I never get more than 2-3 hours from perfumes, but here I got nothing. Nothing at all.
Update: Today I returned to the shop to give it another go, and still nothing.. I get no sent at all. This idea about Molecules being the new black feels a little like “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.

I’m assuming this is an iso-e fragrance. Though i haven’t tested molecule 01 i have tried iso-e by itself in perfumers alcohol. This is a stronger version of that. Fortunately i can detect the aroma of light cedar and distant vanilla/sandalwood.
It’s like terre d hermes without the bitter orange. A long lasting warm woody semi sweet aroma that permeates your environment.
Over all i do like this. I just feel bad saying it’s similar to other fragrances. I think this can be worn by both genders. But best suited for a man..
Reason being.. 😉
Zarkoperfumes made a female version of this. Maybe not exactly but it’s called pink molecule.
At this point in time it’s not listed on fragrantica.
As for molecule 234.38
Longevity 8.5/10
Sillage 7/10
Quality 8/10
An interesting fragrance i must admit. i like it’s ghostly way of appearing out of the blue and fading away just to say hi another time.
note* from what i can decipher this has molecule 01 beat in most aspects. Especially price!
