All About: Escentric Molecules 05
Summer In A Bottle
The bestselling fragrance brand, Escentric Molecules, is for some shrouded in mystery. In this article, we answer your key questions about Escentric Molecules, and introduce you to the newest fragrance in its collection.
What are Escentric Molecules?
The brand is known for its range of simplistic, genderless perfumes that work with the wearer to wrap them in a scent that’s completely unique.
Each Molecule is based on a single note, which then adapts to the wearer’s body temperature and natural pheromones to have a subtly different but unique scent from person to person.
Are Escentric Molecules unisex?
Yes, they are. The scents will adapt to the wearer to create a subtle, unique effect.
What is a Molecule fragrance?
A Molecule fragrance takes one note, one fragrant component, and uses this to create a subtle and long-lasting fragrance.
For example, the latest fragrance from the Molecule collection, Escentric Molecules 05 includes the warm and woody cashmeran scent. With a resinous pine note, it’s an abstraction of summer on a Mediterranean island.
What is cashmeran?
Cashmeran, the sole fragrant component in Molecule 05, has an unusually complex character for a single molecule. It combines a cocooning, musky softness with dry, aromatic woodiness, as well as a sweet and resinous note reminiscent of pine. Since its creation by the International Fragrance Foundation in the late 1970s, it has been the backbone of hit fragrances across the spectrum, with its sensuous versatility enhancing everything from fruity gourmands to boldly spicy oriental to musky skin scents.
What is Molecule 05 like?
Projecting confidently from the skin, Molecule 05 might be the most mesmerizing Molecule edition yet. Every aspect of cashmeran, the warmth, the depth, the sweetness and the resin projects confidently from the skin, creating an enticing quality in the beloved style of the Molecule collection. It's eminently wearable, perfect for both men and women and extremely effective to layer underneath your favourite scent to add a smooth, confident woodiness.
According to Escentric Molecules perfumer Geza Schoen, it’s like spending ‘all afternoon lying by the sea and then, as the sun begins to drop, walking up a path through dry, aromatic herbs and bushes, under pines that have soaked up all the heat of the sun? That’s Escentric 05.’, ‘It is an evocation of a summer retreat on a Mediterranean island in a bottle. Escentric 05 is special. Like the other Escentric fragrances it riffs on the Molecule, but it’s more than that. Escentric 05 is an evocation of my summer retreat on a Mediterranean island. It’s a little piece of my heart, my most personal fragrance yet.’
