Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood Eau de Toilette

Description

Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood consists of Iso E Super + Guaiac Wood.

Escentric Molecules M+ fragrances are an ode to minimalism and a celebration of pure form. Their radical simplicity is the antidote to overindulgent mainstream fragrances, a reaction to traditional perfumery´s compositional constraints. Maybe, the perfect scent is achieved not when there are no more notes to add but when there is nothing left to take away.

Iso E Super is an abstract synthetic molecule with a cedarwood tonality and a warm, velvety cocooning sensation. Guaiac wood is an essential oil found in the heartwood of the Bulnesia sarmiento tree that smells warm, smoky, and woody.

Guaiac wood has one of the best dry-downs in olfactory alchemy, containing depth within itself, darkness, something grave, almost. Imagine wrapping yourself in olfactive layers of creamy warm whisky in the winter, and an emulsified smoke from the fireplace sublimates the room; that´s M+ Guaiac Wood. This moody M+ iteration packs a punch of volatile rum absolue at the top, which evaporates and gives way to a pas de deux of guaiac wood and Iso E Super — a noteworthy product that deserves to be added to your fragrance arsenal.

"Guaiac wood has the smokiness and aromatic quality of a great whisky, together with a creamy warmth reminiscent of the wooden casks used for the maceration of liquor. It has a gentle ´cocooning around the fireplace in winter´ feel to it. It´s like emulsified smoke that melts into the Iso E Super to make a skin scent that is super-sexy and erogenous," says Geza Schoen, perfumer.



About Escentric MoleculesEscentric 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.
