The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Escentric Molecules, founded in Germany in 2006, takes perfumery to a new level of precision and experimentation. Escentric 05 focuses on the aroma-molecule ambroxan, known for its woody, musky character that evokes warmth and depth. The composition is designed to amplify this singular note, creating a scent that is both complex and focused. This fragrance is not just about wearing a scent; it's an exploration of how a single molecule can transform the olfactory experience.

How to wear it

Apply Escentric 05 directly to pulse points for an intimate experience that lasts throughout the day. The ambroxan base takes time to bloom, so give it at least an hour before fully appreciating its depth.
