Escentric 03 EDT 100ml

Escentric 03 honours Vetiveryl Acetate, a natural root synthetic hybrid. Vetiver's alluringly sensual aromatic profile goes beyond composition. This accord has a crisp, clean sharpness with an effervescent quality that plays beautifully in the landscape of skin scents. Picture the scene: a gentle river winds through green plains. On the horizon, a plump orange sun rises behind a set of fluffy clouds. This isn't a pastoral painting or a picture-perfect scene ripped from the pages of a literary classic. This is an olfactory memory of Escentric 03. Vetiveryl Acetate could be described as a hybrid molecule, half-synthetic, half-natural. It is a fraction of vetiver oil distilled from the roots of an Indian grass, which is then 'crossed' with acetic acid to remove the bitter and leathery aspects of the root. Escentric 03 100ml focuses on Vetiveryl Acetate in a formula that pays tribute to the three roots used in perfumery: vetiver, ginger and orris. "I wanted Escentric 03 to bring out the scent impressions of these roots and show how they harmonise with each other," says Geza Schoen.
