MOLECULE

Escentric Molecules // owes its existence to an aroma-molecule that does not exist in nature. Iso E Super was created in a laboratory at IFF in 1973. It remained unknown outside the world of perfumery until the launch of Escentric Molecules, though its elusive presence hovers at relatively low concentrations in the background of many fragrances for both men + women. Among perfumers, it is prized for its velvety, cocooning effect.

Perfumer Geza Schoen has a reputation as a rebel in the fragrance world. His proposal for a bold creation of two fragrances in homage to their enigmatic attractant. One fragrance would contain an unprecedented 65% of the molecule. The rest of the formula would consist of ingredients designed to underscore its low-lit mood.

ESCENTRIC FRAGRANCE Molecule 04

$150.00

Escentric Molecule 04 celebrates the futuristic freshness of Javanol, a sheer sandalwood molecule. 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 perfumer 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 Molecule 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.

Javanol does not exist in nature. It was created in a laboratory at Givaudan in 1996.
