Notes
E01 is centred on the enigmatic woody molecule Iso E Super, with fresh lime peel, green jasmine bud (hedione), soft balsams and musk.

E02 centres on AMBROXAN™, a sensual amber molecule with a clean mineral freshness, together with green jasmine bud (hedione) and a sparkling gin + tonic accord.

E03 centres on vetiveryl acetate, a smooth and woody vetiver molecule with a grapefruit accent, together with fresh lime peel, ginger, green peppercorn and musk.

E04 centres on Javanol, a sheer sandalwood molecule, together with crisp, bitter topnotes of pink grapefruit peel, lime zest, juniper and pink pepper.

E05 centres on Cashmeran, a dry, radiant, warm and woody molecule with an unexpected touch of pine resin.

Escentric 05 by Escentric Molecules is a fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Escentric 05 was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Geza Schoen.

The top note of Escentric 05 is very simple: bergamot to keep things light, and orange, an ingredient which has an emotional tone to it, bright and happy. It reflects the orange groves that cover this island.

Laurel and rosemary are typical Mediterranean plants with a spicy freshness, juniper brings a herbal tonality and cypress is a very dry, pungent wood.

The drydown has two classic Mediterranean ingredients, cistus labdanum and mastic. Mastic is a resin produced by a small tree that grows especially near the sea. It has the clean sharp scent of newly-cut branches. Cistus is a small plant that grows everywhere in the Med. It has a sweet, leathery, balsamic quality which I love. And of course, there is around 15% of cashmeran – which gives the fragrance its piney warmth.

I also introduced a subtle fig, both the bitterness of the leaves and the ripeness of the fruit. Figs had to be in there because there is a fig tree by our house on the island. Fig feels authentic to the place, it reminds me of the happiness of summer by the sea.”

Molecule 04 by Escentric Molecules is a Woody fragrance for women and men. Molecule 04 was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Geza Schoen.

Javanol is a sandalwood-type molecule that retains the radiance and endurance of natural sandalwood, but is sheer and transparent like no sandalwood in nature.

“What I love about Javanol is its almost psychedelic freshness,” says Geza Schoen. “It smells as if liquid metallic grapefruit peel were poured over a bed of velvety cream-coloured roses.”

Javanol is like Iso E Super, the molecule in Escentric Molecules 01, in some ways. Like Iso E Super, it comes and goes. The person wearing it loses the ability to smell it after a short while, only to re-connect with it later.

Notes
The Molecule 04 fragrance is radically minimalist. It contains no odorants except the aroma-molecule, Javanol. Those customers who find the Molecule fragrances too subtle may wish to try the Escentric fragrances, which will always have a more powerful diffusion.

Escentric 04 by Escentric Molecules is a Woody fragrance for women and men. Escentric 04 was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Geza Schoen.

Escentric 04 focuses on Javanol in a formula that highlights the grapefruit accent in the molecule. The result is a uniquely fresh interpretation of a sandalwood fragrance, fizzing with crisp, bitter topnotes of pink grapefruit peel with added zest of lime. Juniper and pink pepper give an extra shot of freshness, and marijuana brings out the softer quality of the grapefruit pith.

The heart is orris with a ‘fresh soft rose’ composed from four different rose ingredients. The drydown is balsamic and woody with Javanol in combination with the somewhat sweeter sandalwood molecule, Polysantol.

“In the other Escentric fragrances I used a huge amount of the Molecule,” says Geza Schoen. “But Javanol is like truffles. A few slices of truffle shaved on top of your pasta are enough to transport you to heaven.”

Consequently Javanol and Polysantol together make up 15% of Escentric 04.

Molecule 03 consists of Vetiveryl Acetate, pure and singular.

Vetiveryl Acetate could be described as a hybrid molecule, half-natural, half-synthetic. It is a fraction of vetiver oil, distilled from the roots of an Indian grass, which is then ‘crossed’ with acetic acid to remove the bitter and leathery aspects of the root.

The result is an elegant and refined molecule with the woody, slightly grassy character of vetiver, but far smoother and softer. “Acetylation also brings out the grapefruit touch in vetiver,” says Geza Schoen, “giving a more pronounced bitter-fresh top note.”

Escentric 03 focuses on Vetiveryl Acetate in a formula that pays tribute to the three roots used in perfumery: vetiver, ginger and orris, which is extracted from the roots of the Florentine iris. “I wanted Escentric 03 to bring out the scent impressions of these roots,” says Geza Schoen, “and show how they harmonise with each other.”

Ginger dominates the top note, which is vibrant, green and spicy with lime peel and green peppercorn. The heart is rich, velvety orris with Egyptian jasmine and tea notes. The drydown emphasises the dark green woodiness of vetiver together with sandalwood, cedar, mellow balsams and musk.

Molecule 02 consists of the molecule AMBROXAN™ pure and singular.

AMBROXAN™ has a subtle sensual quality with a radiant, long-lasting drydown.

It is a crystal with a chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris. For centuries ambergris was perhaps the most prized ingredient in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance expelled by the cachalot or sperm whale which only attains its fine scent after a long maturation floating in the ocean. Ambergris is rarely found these days, and the ‘amber’ in a modern fragrance will be a lab-created equivalent of some of the aroma-molecules that make up its scent. By far the finest of these is the nature-identical molecule, AMBROXAN™.

Ambergris was always valued for its refinement as well as its sensuality. This quality persists in AMBROXAN™. “It has a fresh almost mineral quality,” says perfumer, Geza Schoen, “that lingers into the drydown.”

AMBROXAN™ was isolated from plant sources in 1950.

AMBROXAN™ has a subtle sensual quality with a radiant, long-lasting drydown.

Escentric 02 contains 13.5% AMBROXAN™* in a formula designed to amplify its mineral note. It also contains hedione (green jasmine bud), a ‘gin and tonic’ accord, “and a hint of the Austrian lemonade called almdudler”. Geza Schoen describes the final effect as ‘super-longlasting freshness into the drydown, together with a subtle sensuality.’

*13.5% is the maximum percentage of AMBROXAN™ that can be dissolved in a fragrance compound. Any more, and the AMBROXAN™ begins to crystallize out of the solution.

Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for women and men. Molecule 01 was launched in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Geza Schoen.

Molecule 01 consists of the molecule Iso E Super pure and singular.

Iso E Super is a molecule that hovers close to the skin to create an indefinable aura round the wearer.

It is characterised by a hyper-modern cedarwood note with a velvety sensation. Perfumer Geza Schoen explains its allure: “Iso E Super is one of those skin-sexy scents that makes you want to nestle into it. It’s comforting, cocooning.”

Iso E Super has a marked intermittence. To the wearer, it seems to vanish and then re-appear. This is due to the way it bonds with receptors in the olfactory system, only slowly releasing to make way for a fresh charge of the molecule on the receptors.

Iso E Super does not exist in nature. It was created in a laboratory at IFF in 1973.

Notes
The Molecule 01 fragrance is radically minimalist. It contains no odorants except the aroma-molecule, Iso E Super. Those customers who find the Molecule fragrances too subtle may wish to try the Escentric fragrances, which will always have a more powerful diffusion.

Iso E Super is a molecule that hovers close to the skin to create an indefinable aura round the wearer.

Escentric 01 focuses on Iso E Super at 65% of the fragrance compound in an abbreviated formula designed to maximise the molecule’s efflorescence. It also contains lime peel, hedione (green jasmine bud), orris, balsamic notes, and fresh musk.

Geza Schoen: “I wanted to create something unconventional, not too perfumistic, something for my friends who said they didn’t like fragrance.”
