Not A Perfume Eau de Parfum vs Atomic Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A skin-scent for minimalists and scent-shy, Not A Perfume is the ultimate in modern understated elegance. Its pure, hypoallergenic formula is both easygoing and quietly magnetic.
Rebel Aromas markets Atomic as inspired by Iso E Super, i.e. Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 - the cult minimalist skin-scent built almost entirely around the woody-ambery synthetic. Atomic leans louder and simpler than the real thing, trading Molecule 01's famous skin-warming radiance for a flatter, more conventional woody-musk that fades faster and projects less subtly.
