A molecule that's NOT perfume makes you smell more strongly like yourself. 1 out of 2 modern perfumes contain it to bring out an enjoyable "living animal" smell to their scent: You. (youtu.be)

She says many people inheriting their genetics from east Asia cannot pick up on it well with their nose. But other than this minority, most people can.

You can buy the molecule alone, by itself with no additions, simply to enhance your smell without adding anything else.

If you've ever wanted a lovely podcast about perfumes, this is it. I like looking at the bottles too.

Video won't load for me. What's the name of the perfume that contains it and the molecule?

I'll just change it back to the Original YT link.

The not-perfume is called M02.

Molecule 02 consists of Ambroxan, pure and singular. Ambroxan is a crystal-chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris.

This sample set has M02 included in it. It is cheaper than the full bottle of M02, and includes other fun molecules idk anything about. I want this set I want it I want it! But I have scarcity mindset with money so I'm probably not getting it. :/
