Escentric 04

The Javanol is a sandalwood-like molecule that retains the brightness and resilience of natural sandalwood but is pure and transparent like no sandalwood in nature.

Escentric 04 is centered on Javanol in a formula that highlights the grapefruit accent of the molecule. The result is an unprecedented and fresh interpretation of sandalwood, made sparkling by the fizzy and bitter top notes of pink grapefruit peel with an addition of lime. Juniper and pink pepper add an explosive burst of freshness, while marijuana accents bring out the softer side of the grapefruit essence. The heart of the fragrance is dominated by notes of freesia and “fresh and delicate rose”, obtained from four different types of rose. The base is balsamic and woody, the result of combining Javanol with the gentler sandalwood molecule, Polysantol.

"In the other Escentric fragrances I used a huge amount of Molecule," says Geza Schoen. "But Javanol is like truffle. Just a few shavings of truffle on pasta are enough to transport you to paradise."

As a result, Javanol and Polysantol together make up 15% of Escentric 04.
