Escentric 02

Escentric 02 on the go.

Escentric 02 is centred around the elusive power of Ambroxan (13.5%), a nature-identical amber molecule known for its sensual, almost mineral smoothness. 

In Escentric 02, Ambroxan is combined with the aphrodisiac notes of green jasmine bud and a sparkling 'gin and tonic' accord. The composition is further elevated by a hint of Almdudler and, as the nose Geza Schoen describes, "that specific smell you get when you unwrap a new Apple laptop." 

Ambroxan is a lab-created crystal identical to ambrox, a substance originally derived from ambergris—one of the most valuable and mysterious materials in perfumery—expelled by the sperm whale. 

Ambergris drifts in the ocean for years, slowly maturing into a substance with a beautifully refined scent renowned for its sensuality and depth.

In modern perfumery, natural ambergris is exceedingly rare, and most fragrances use lab-created equivalents to replicate its distinctive aroma. The finest of these is Ambroxan, a molecule isolated from plant sources in 1950. Ambergris has long been treasured for its complexity and seductive qualities, and these characteristics persist in Ambroxan, ensuring that the essence of refinement remains. 

Geza Schoen describes the final effect as a "super long-lasting freshness into the drydown, with a subtle sensuality." The unique blend of ingredients evokes the untamed beauty of desert landscapes and hazy sunsets.

Here, Escentric 02 is available in a portable format, making it perfect for life on the go. Escentric Molecules Portables are 30ml fragrances housed in minimalist, durable metal cases. These sleek cases are burnished with stainless steel 'sand' to create a soft lustre and then anodised for enhanced durability, combining functionality with sophistication.
