Escentric 02 30ml Cased

Escentric 02 on the go. Escentric 02 explores the many faces of perfume's most-prized aroma-molecule. Escentric 02 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 was perhaps the most prized ingredient 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. By far, the finest of these is the nature-identical molecule, Ambroxan. Ambergris was always valued for its refinement as well as its sensuality, and this quality persists in Ambroxan. Ambroxan was isolated from plant sources in 1950. Geza Schoen describes the final effect as a "super long-lasting freshness into the drydown, with a subtle sensuality". This unique blend of ingredients evokes desert landscapes and hazy sunsets. Escentric 02 comes in a sturdy yet luxurious (and sustainable) Portable to spritz and spray on the go. The metal case fits 30ml fragrances and is blasted with stainless steel 'sand' to burnish the surface to a soft lustre. It is then anodised for ultimate durability. The upper face of the Escentric case lid is stamped with the letter e in binary code: 01101102 and the number 02.
