Escentric 02 Eau de Toilette (3.5oz)
Escentric 02 explores the many faces of perfume's most prized aroma-molecule, cloaking its wearers in an air of romance and enigma.
Escentric 02 100ml is centred on the elusive power of nature-identical Ambroxan (13.5%), a sensual amber molecule with almost mineral smoothness, together with the aphrodisiac notes of green jasmine bud and a sparkling 'gin and tonic' accord, a hint of Almdudler, and "that specific smell you get when you unwrap a new Apple laptop".

Ambroxan is a crystal-chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris. For centuries, ambergris has been one of the most prized ingredients in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance expelled by the cachalot or sperm whale, which only attains its fine scent after a long maturation floating in the ocean.
Ambergris is rarely found these days, and the 'amber' in a modern fragrance will be a lab-created equivalent of some of the aroma-molecules that make up its scent. The finest of these by far is the nature-identical molecule Ambroxan, synthesised from materials of plant origin by chemists at Firmenich in 1950.
Different in tone from other animal ingredients, ambergris has always been valued for its refinement as well as its sensuality. These qualities persist in Ambroxan.
Geza Schoen describes the final effect as a "super long-lasting freshness into the drydown, with a subtle sensuality". This fragrance is the olfactory equivalent of a warm, love-fuelled weekend.
While Molecule 02 zeroes in on the aroma-molecule, in Escentric 02 100ml, "Ambroxan takes a back seat, providing a touch of sweetness, but for the most part, it just provides power, driving the fragrance up into the air in a whoosh of marine-like muskiness, giving that aura-like quality." says Thomas Dunckley, an award-winning fragrance expert of The Candy Perfume Boy. "It's blissful"
