ESCENTRIC MOLECULES PERFUMES

Escentric Molecules owes its existence to an aroma-molecule that does not exist in nature. Iso E Super was created in a laboratory at IFF in 1973. It remained unknown outside the world of perfumery until the launch of Escentric Molecules, though its elusive presence hovers at relatively low concentrations in the background of many fragrances for both men and women. Among perfumers, it is prized for its velvety, cocooning effect.

When perfumer Geza Schoen first smelt Iso E Super in isolation, something clicked. “I realised that the common denominator in all the fragrances I liked was that they contained a large dose of it. Iso E Super is highly unusual. You can never get enough of it. One sniff and you want the whole bottle. It’s like a drug.”

Each series from the range contains two products alongside each other: 

Escentric fragrance – a formula eg a more traditional scent from various extracts
Molecule fragrance – a simple molecule

The Molecule fragrance of each Number takes a radical approach, one that breaks all the rules of perfumery. It contains no fragrant ingredients other than the aroma-molecule, pure and singular. This is fragrance at its most minimal, its most purist. The Escentric and Molecule versions of each fragrance are sold separately. Escentric Molecule perfumes are designed to be worn by men and women ( +any other gender).
