Escentric Molecules

Molecule 04

UNDEFINABLE

Molecule 04 consists of Javanol, pure and singular.

Javanol is a sandalwood-type molecule that retains the radiance and endurance of natural sandalwood, but is sheer and transparent like no sandalwood in nature.

“What I love about Javanol is its almost psychedelic freshness,” says Geza Schoen. “It smells as if liquid metallic grapefruit peel were poured over a bed of velvety cream-coloured roses.”

Javanol is like Iso E Super, the molecule in Escentric Molecules 01, in some ways. Like Iso E Super, it comes and goes. The person wearing it loses the ability to smell it after a short while, only to re-connect with it later.

"Molecule 04 is based on Javanol, Givaudan’s sandalwood synthetic. 04 is designed, said Schön, to show this classic perfumery note in a whole new way: 'Sandalwood for the first time in a fresh shape, instead of just being cloying and sweet.'"
