Escentric Molecules is the brainchild of maverick perfumer, Geza Schoen. It celebrates perfumery as the art of chemistry. Geza developed the idea to create a pair of fragrances foregrounding Iso E Super in its own right. It would be called Escentric Molecules 01 and it would become the scent sensation of the 21st century. The fragrances are presented in binary pairs. Each pair explores one aroma-molecule in two different ways. The Escentric fragrance highlights the unique character of the aroma-molecule with ingredients chosen to bring out its key facets. The Molecule fragrance is radically minimalist. It contains no odorants except the aroma-molecule, pure and singular. It is best to test the Molecule fragrances on the skin rather than a scent strip as the Molecules need the warmth of the skin to maximise their diffusion. Although the Molecule fragrances are sometimes not smelled by the wearer they have a definite effect on those around us. Geza Schoen: “I wanted to create something unconventional, not too perfumistic, something for my friends who said they didn’t like fragrance.”
