Escentric Molecules Escentric 02 & Molecule 02 ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 17 May 2008 9 Comments

Escentric Molecules Escentric 02 perfumeNiche line Escentric Molecules has launched two new fragrances, Escentric 02 and Molecule 02:

Escentric 02 [shown] uses an unparalleled concentration of ambroxan combined with vetiver and muscone, a particularly gorgeous nature-identical musk. Orris, elderflower extract and hedione add an instant effervescence to the topnote, giving it a fresh 'mineral' effect. Escentric 02 is a clear, clean scent that dries down to something warm, sexy and elusive.

Molecule 02 is based on ambroxan, a nature-identical aroma-chemical. Molecule 02 has a distinct nutty, warm scent that is a symphony of boronal, ambrinol and its best-smelling aromatic part, ambroxan. This fragrance has an almost mineral smoothness which subtly expands to envelop you.

Escentric Molecules Escentric 02 and Molecule 02 were developed by perfumer Geza Schoen. They can be found now at Harvey Nichols in the UK, £69.50 each for 100 ml, concentration unknown. Many thanks to Michelle for the link! Update: see reviews of Molecule 02 & Escentric 02.

    That sounds like a wonderful addition to the Molecule 01 and Escentric 01. I am a big fan of this house and can't wait to get my nose near it. Unfortunately the British store doesn't ship to the US! Drat! I have to wait!!! (Plus I always sample first!)

    Guessing these will be in the US soon though — and we've got 3 online retailers for the line (aedes, luckyscent, miomia) so samples will not be hard to come by. They do sound interesting!

    I tried Escentric 02 at Aedes, they've had the testers for a while, and it is a must-buy for me! Very clean and fresh, curiously satisfying…
    and I think I can detect one of my favorite synthetic molecules in it, hedion.

    Yes, hedione is listed in the notes (see above).

    I want to smell them, yet the language of this release is a bit strange to me. What is a “mineral” effect? I realize the limitations of attempting to convey fragrance via words but I suppose this particular phrase hasn't worked its' way into my fragrance lexicon yet.

    The idea of being able to identify particular synthetic fragrance molecules is strangely appealing to me; it has been since I first read Turin's book but I didn't realize they were being so boldly announced till recently.

    So I'll look for these and figure out the “mineral” thing on my own.

    So called “mineral notes” are becoming more common — even J Lo Deseo has a mineral accord. Think of the smell of hot dusty rocks, if that helps, or go try Terre d'Hermes.
