“It’s not easy to describe iris’ smell as such, but if you smell a fragrance without it, and then
with it, you understand immediately
what it does. It adds a creamy
powderiness. It brings a physical
dimension to a fragrance.I have had a long-standing
love affair with iris. Every
Escentric fragrance has an iris
notesomewhere in there. To me,
iris is luxury. The iris pallida absolue
I’ve used here is one of the most
expensive ingredients in perfumery.
You can find iris extracts for way
less than that. But they do not have
the great and subtle beauty of
this absolue. It’s radical to put this
much in a fragrance. The sillage
is fantastic. This is a bomb, but a
subtle bomb.”

Escentric molecules were launched in 2006 by the perfumer Geza Schoen and they became an absolute worldwide phenomenon. Their success lies in their totally unique composition, which is often built on the strength of a single component of the fragrance. The key ingredient of these perfumes is Iso E Super aroma-molecule that does not exist in nature - it was created in laboratory in 1973. The fragrances are presented in binary pairs, with each pair exploring one aroma-molecule in two different ways. Escentric molecules perfumes are highly unusual and long-lasting. They are made for people who like to find extravagant and original things.
