Let the soothing Sap Green of Escentric 03 conjure up odour images
and pull you into a lush fantasy of multisensorial overload.
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.
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.

Lassen Sie das beruhigende Sap Green von Escentric 03 Geruchsbilder
heraufbeschwören und sich in eine üppige Fantasie der multisensorischen
Überladung hineinziehen.
Vetiverylacetat könnte man als ein hybrides Molekül beschreiben, halb natürlich,
halb synthetisch. Es ist ein Teil des Vetiveröls, das aus den Wurzeln eines
indischen Grases destilliert und dann mit Essigsäure "gekreuzt" wird, um die
bitteren und ledrigen Aspekte der Wurzel zu entfernen.
Escentric 03 konzentriert sich auf Vetiverylacetat in einer Formel, die eine Hommage
an die drei in der Parfümerie verwendeten Wurzeln darstellt: Vetiver, Ingwer und Iris,
die aus den Wurzeln der florentinischen Schwertlilie gewonnen wird. "Ich wollte, dass
Escentric 03 die Dufteindrücke dieser Wurzeln hervorhebt", sagt Geza Schoen, "und
zeigt, wie sie miteinander harmonieren".
Ingwer dominiert die Kopfnote, die mit Limettenschalen und grünem Pfefferkorn lebendig,
grün und würzig ist. Die Herznote ist reichhaltig, samtig, mit ägyptischem Jasmin und
Teenoten. Im Abgang wird die dunkelgrüne Holzigkeit von Vetiver zusammen mit Sandelholz,
Zedernholz, weichem Balsam und Moschus betont.
Escentric_Molecules
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 and women. Among perfumers, it is prized for its velvety, cocooning effect.
When perfumer Geza Schoen first smelt Iso E Super in isolation, something clicked. “I realised that the common denominator in all the fragrances I liked was that they contained a large dose of it. Iso E Super is highly unusual. You can never get enough of it. One sniff and you want the whole bottle. It’s like a drug.”
Schoen began to experiment, creating fragrances that contained Iso E Super in unheard-of proportions. One night he went further. Heading out for a drink with a friend, he suggested they spritz on nothing but the aroma-molecule itself.
The effect was immediate. No sooner had they sat down at a bar, than a woman came up to ask about their fragrance. As Schoen talked with her, it became clear that the connection between the fragrances she liked was also a large dose of Iso E Super. Schoen realised he was on to something.
His proposal was bold. He would create two fragrances in homage to this 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.
If this was a radical move, the second fragrance was totally non-conformist. It would contain only the molecule Iso E Super. “I thought, this one will appeal only to the artists, the freaks, the outsiders.”
He was wrong. From its launch in 2006, Escentric Molecules was a phenomenon. Schoen followed the first pair of fragrances, 01, with 02, 03, and in 2017, a fourth pair, Escentric Molecules 04. Each pair focuses on those rare aroma-molecules that have the radiance and depth of character to stand alone.
