Perfume of the Day: escentric molecules: escentric 01
Today’s perfume of the day is perhaps ill-timed - I knew going into it that the notes weren’t what I was wanting for hot weather, but in the name of science…I wore escentric 01 today, and really quite liked it. It’s a well-composed, interesting scent. The pepper made its appearance quickly but settled in between the wood notes after a few minutes. I only get the faintest idea of the lime, and it’s all smoke and red cedar for the duration. I think this would really suit my tastes much better come November-ish. I’m going to have my significant other test it on him, and see what we think. $135 for 3.5 oz at Luckyscent.
Second only to its sister scent Molecule 01, Escentric 01 boasts the highest concentration of the aroma chemical Iso E Super ever to be used in perfumery (65%). The woody nature of this note is joined with top notes of pink pepper, lime peel and orris incense to create a moving fragrance intent on taking you right from the opening to the base in one sweeping, dramatic move. The tart lime and zesty pink pepper are a sparkling shot into the dark heart of Escentric 01’s moody, soft wood nature, while orris incense adds a dash of smoky incense and turns up the heat. Emotional and dazzling.
Escentric Molecules celebrates just one of the scented world’s most used base notes—the sweet, velvety sandalwood-like Iso E Super—and by doingso, puts forth a radically different proposition: building two scents around a single aroma chemical normally just used in small concentrations. It’s never been done before. Escentric Molecules is the product of perfumer Geza Schoen.
