Our review
For those who seek the unexpected, our Escentric Molecule 01 Gift Set brings together the best in contemporary perfumery—a gift that celebrates individuality, defies convention, and invites the wearer to rediscover the essence of scent. This online exclusive gift set includes our cult-favourite Escentric 01 100ml and Molecule 01 100ml fragrances, and comes wrapped in our exclusive EM gift box. Molecule 01 consists of 100% Iso E Super, pure and singular. It combines — almost caramelises — with your own smell to meld into a personal scent signature. "Iso E Super is one of those scents that makes you want to nestle into it. It's comforting and cocooning," says Geza Schoen. Molecule 01 has been said to cause animal magnetism — a latter-day love potion. Perfumer Geza Schoen used the beautifully mysterious and democratic aroma-molecule Iso E Super as the star of this juice. He felt it expressed everything a perfumer could want: radiance, tenacity, and power. "Molecule 01 is for the individual who might be a bit bored with fragrance and would prefer to radiate an aura. It's difficult to call a single aroma-chemical a fragrance — it's so much more personal," says Geza. Molecule 01 is a cult classic of today that remains as disruptive and avant-garde as the day it was first bottled. The velvety wood-tinged hedonism of Iso E Super (with effects that read like something from the pages of a Neal Stephenson novel) makes for an irresistible skin scent. Escentric 01 celebrates the hyper-abstraction of Iso E Super. Geza Schoen created Escentric 01 as an invitation to defy convention and challenge imposed rules. Escentric 01 focuses on Iso E Super at 65% of the fragrance compound in an abbreviated formula designed to maximise the molecule's efflorescence. Escentric 01 opens with lime peel and pink pepper, with hedione (green jasmine bud) and orris in the heart amplified by balsamic notes and fresh musk, producing a seriously lingering base note. "With Escentric 01, I made the scent that I would want to wear myself," says Geza Schoen, "I wanted to create something unconventional, not too perfumistic, something for my friends who said they didn't like fragrance." Give the gift of Escentric Molecules with an online exclusive gift set!
