Escentric 02 explores the refined sensuality of Ambroxan, one of modern perfumery’s most treasured aroma-molecules.
Smooth, radiant and almost mineral in texture, it surrounds the wearer with an air of romance and quiet intrigue.
Fresh green jasmine bud notes and a sparkling, tonic-like brightness drift through the composition, while Ambroxan
provides lift, longevity and an aura-like diffusion. The result is a fragrance of understated sensuality and lasting
freshness — evocative of a warm, love-soaked weekend that lingers well beyond its end.
Here, Escentric 02 is available in a portable format, making it perfect for life on the go. Escentric Molecules Portables
are 30ml fragrances housed in minimalist, durable metal cases. These sleek cases are burnished with stainless steel
'sand' to create a soft lustre and then anodised for enhanced durability, combining functionality with sophistication.

Escentric 02 kreist um die vielschichtige Eleganz von Ambroxan, einer der kostbarsten Duftmoleküle der modernen Parfümerie.
Sinnlich, klar und von fast mineralischer Weichheit umhüllt der Duft seine Träger:innen mit einer romantischen, leicht
rätselhaften Aura. Frische, grün-florale Akzente von Jasminknospe treffen auf eine spritzige Gin-and-Tonic-Anmutung und
subtile, moderne Anspielungen, getragen von der lang anhaltenden Kraft des Ambroxans. Das Ergebnis ist ein Duft von
zurückhaltender Sinnlichkeit und schwebender Präsenz — wie ein warmes, intensives Wochenende, das nachklingt.
Hier gibt's Escentric 02 in einem handlichen Format, das perfekt für unterwegs ist. Escentric Molecules Portables sind
30-ml-Parfums in minimalistischen, robusten Metallbehältern. Diese eleganten Behälter werden mit Edelstahlsand poliert,
um einen sanften Glanz zu erzielen, und anschließend für mehr Haltbarkeit eloxiert, wodurch Funktionalität und Raffinesse
vereint werden.

Escentric_Molecules
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.”
Schoen began to experiment, creating fragrances that contained Iso E Super in unheard-of proportions. One night he went further. Heading out for a drink with a friend, he suggested they spritz on nothing but the aroma-molecule itself.
The effect was immediate. No sooner had they sat down at a bar, than a woman came up to ask about their fragrance. As Schoen talked with her, it became clear that the connection between the fragrances she liked was also a large dose of Iso E Super. Schoen realised he was on to something.
His proposal was bold. He would create two fragrances in homage to this enigmatic attractant. One fragrance would contain an unprecedented 65% of the molecule. The rest of the formula would consist of ingredients designed to underscore its low-lit mood.
If this was a radical move, the second fragrance was totally non-conformist. It would contain only the molecule Iso E Super. “I thought, this one will appeal only to the artists, the freaks, the outsiders.”
He was wrong. From its launch in 2006, Escentric Molecules was a phenomenon. Schoen followed the first pair of fragrances, 01, with 02, 03, and in 2017, a fourth pair, Escentric Molecules 04. Each pair focuses on those rare aroma-molecules that have the radiance and depth of character to stand alone.
