Escentric Molecules

Molecule 04

UNDEFINABLE

Molecule 01 isn't the only iconic sandalwood scent Escentric Molecules has to offer! Javanol, the starring aromachemical of Molecule 04, brings out a brighter side of sandalwood than Molecule 01's woodier Iso-E Super.

"What I love about Javanol is its almost psychedelic freshness," muses Escentric Molecules perfumer Geza Schoen. "It smells as if liquid metallic grapefruit peel were poured over a bed of velvety cream-coloured roses." If you can resist liquid metallic grapefruit peel poured over velvety cream-coloured roses, you're made of stronger stuff than we are.

"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.'"
