Escentric 04

Escentric 04 on the go. 

Escentric 04 is an ode to the futuristic freshness of Javanol, a sheer sandalwood molecule. 

This award-winning fragrance focuses on Javanol in a formula that highlights the grapefruit accent in the molecule, unfolding in a triangle of grapefruit, rose and sandalwood.

Javanol, 'the wildest' molecule of them all, is a sandalwood-type molecule that retains the radiance and endurance of natural sandalwood but is sheer and transparent like no sandalwood in nature. 

This is a psychedelically fresh interpretation of a sandalwood fragrance, fizzing with crisp, bitter top notes of pink grapefruit peel with an added zest of lime. Juniper and pink pepper give an extra shot of freshness, and marijuana brings out the softer quality of the grapefruit pith. 

The heart is orris with a 'fresh soft rose' composed of four different rose ingredients. The drydown is balsamic and woody with Javanol combined with the somewhat sweeter sandalwood molecule, Polysantol. 

"In the other Escentric fragrances, I used a huge amount of the Molecule," says Geza Schoen. "But Javanol is like truffles. A few slices of truffle shaved on top of your pasta are enough to transport you to heaven." 

Consequently, Javanol and Polysantol together make up 15% of Escentric 04.

Escentric 04 packs a punch of grapefruit that fizzes out of the bottle: unusual, in your face, aromatic and pink. But never kitsch. 

Here, Escentric 04 comes in a sturdy yet luxurious Portable to spritz and spray on the go. Both functional and sophisticated in their minimalist design, Escentric Molecules Portables are 30ml fragrances that slot into sleek metal cases for maximum portability. The metal cases are blasted with stainless steel 'sand' to burnish the surface to a soft lustre. They are then anodised for ultimate durability — the perfect travel companion for a subversive adventurer.
