{"product_id":"escentric-2","title":"Escentric 02","description":"\u003cp\u003eEscentric 02 explores the many faces of perfume's most prized aroma-molecule, cloaking its wearers in an air of romance and enigma. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEscentric 02 is centred on the elusive power of nature-identical Ambroxan (13.5%), a sensual amber molecule with almost mineral smoothness, together with the aphrodisiac notes of green jasmine bud and a sparkling 'gin and tonic' accord, a hint of Almdudler, and \"that specific smell you get when you unwrap a new Apple laptop\".\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAmbroxan is a crystal-chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris. For centuries, ambergris has been one of the most prized ingredients in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance expelled by the cachalot or sperm whale, which only attains its fine scent after a long maturation floating in the ocean. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmbergris is rarely found these days, and the 'amber' in a modern fragrance will be a lab-created equivalent of some of the aroma-molecules that make up its scent. The finest of these by far is the nature-identical molecule Ambroxan, synthesised from materials of plant origin by chemists at Firmenich in 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent in tone from other animal ingredients, ambergris has always been valued for its refinement as well as its sensuality. These qualities persist in Ambroxan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeza Schoen describes the final effect as a \"super long-lasting freshness into the drydown, with a subtle sensuality\". This fragrance is the olfactory equivalent of a warm, love-fuelled weekend. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Molecule 02 zeroes in on the aroma-molecule, in Escentric 02, \"Ambroxan takes a back seat, providing a touch of sweetness, but for the most part, it just provides power, driving the fragrance up into the air in a whoosh of marine-like muskiness, giving that aura-like quality.\" says Thomas Dunckley, an award-winning fragrance expert of The Candy Perfume Boy. \"It's blissful\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Escentric Molecules","offers":[{"title":"8.5ml","offer_id":49046019932403,"sku":"E02V7","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/6361\/2403\/files\/E02_8.5ml_Vial_Pack.jpg?v=1778669722","url":"https:\/\/escentricwholesale.com\/products\/escentric-2","provider":"Escentric Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
