What do reviewers say about The Lobster and Molecule 05?
The Lobster doesn't smell like a forest you want to escape, it smells like one you want to disappear into. The animalic warmth of the forest floor beckons you deeper.The Lobster
Cashmeran pulses. Fades close to nothing, then returns like it missed you. That's the whole proposition, a single synthetic material doing things naturals can't. Some find it remarkable on skin.Molecule 05
