Our review

Molecule 05 on the go. Molecule 05 consists of Cashmeran, pure and singular. Cashmeran is one of the greats of synthetic chemistry. Warm and woody, with a resinous pine note, it has an unusually complex character for a single molecule. It combines cocooning, musky softness, dry, aromatic woodiness, and a sweet resinous pine note. "Molecule 05 is a minimalist sketch of summer," says Geza Schoen. "As you would expect with a name like Cashmeran, it's warm and caressing. For me, it evokes the sensuousness of summer. Cashmeran is both woody and musky. Already, that's rare. But that's not all. It's complex and multi-faceted, almost like a whole fragrance in one molecule. How can something be dry and creamy at the same time? It's a paradox. It has the dry quality typical of woods, but also a creamy aura that makes you want to nuzzle into it. What really pumps up the summer feeling for me is the pine note in the molecule. We tend to think of the clean, high smell of the needles when we think of pine. But the pine note in Cashmeran is different. It's the scent of pine wood. It even has something else. A fruity note. Cashmeran is one of those mysterious molecules that is hard to put into words. " Cashmeran was created in a laboratory at the IFF in the late 1970s. A smooth and musky scent that merges with your skin chemistry, Molecule 05 glorifies fragrance's undefinable magnetism and gives it its rightful due as a subtle yet requisite element in our lives that stimulates all the senses. Here, Molecule 05 is encased in a burnished stainless steel Portable Travel Case, combining functionality with sophistication. Escentric Molecules Portables can be repeatedly topped up with a 30ml Refill for scent touch-ups on the go.
