Molecule 03 - 100ml

Experience the pure and unique essence of Escentric Molecules Molecule 03, a unisex fragrance composed entirely of vetiveryl acetate - an extraordinary molecule that captures the natural power of vetiver in a refined and modern form.

Vetiveryl acetate is a hybrid molecule that is half synthetic and half natural. It is distilled from a fraction of vetiver oil extracted from the roots of an Indian grass. It is then "crossed" with acetic acid to remove the bitter and leathery aspects of the vetiver root, creating a softer and smoother fragrance experience.

In India, vetiver oil, also known as "the oil of tranquility", was an ancient ingredient in perfumes and was prized for its calming properties. Vetiver is known to reduce anxiety and promote mental clarity, thanks to its calming yet grounding aura.

For Molecule 03, Geza Schoen has created a modern interpretation of Vetiveryl Acetate that celebrates the earthy and smoky facets of vetiver while offering a rich, enveloping note. Imagine uncut grass on a warm day or a forest with warm balsamic undertones - that's the best way to describe the scent of vetiver.

"Acetylation brings out the grapefruit touch in vetiver, giving it a more pronounced, bitter-fresh top note," explains Geza Schoen.

The result is an elegant and sophisticated molecule with the woody, slightly grassy character of vetiver, but much softer and gentler.

For those who find the Molecule fragrances too subtle, the Escentric fragrances could be a more powerful alternative, as they always offer a stronger diffusion.
