Escentric 05
Escentric Molecules (2020)

The second fragrance from the Escentric line that I would consider FBW. Escentric 05 uses the base note of Cashmeran which to my nose is a sort of woody musk note. On it's own as Molecule 05, it doesn't strike any real appeal to me beyond clean and generic. However, in the Geza Schoen concoction of Escentric 05 it's paired with green citric aromatics and creates an appealing wood/musk fragrance. It's the greenest of the Escentric line by far, and fits in with the "clean" aroma vibe you get from all the E line. Very unisex with good versatility and excellent longevity. Perfect choice for casual day wear. I like it.

Super-pleasant, versatile day scent. Fits in very well with many other scents from this line in that it has that lingering, haunting, familiar feel to it. It's clean and dry from the vetiver and then slightly sweet from the dominant wood note that is green and mossy. I'm also getting something like a tea smell to this underneath the woods.

Projection is good, and it comes and goes throughout the day. It never feels heavy but is noticeable if you're passing by the person wearing it. All-day longevity.

Escentric 05 is a green woody incense type of scent that has excellent projection and longevity. The fragrance is built around cashmeran by the perfumer Geza Schoen. It doesn't really smell like cashmeran because the accent notes add such a bold crunchy garden of natural elements that keeps this perfume more like a magical fairy tale woodland incense. The accent notes I notice are orange, fig, basil, laurel, rosemary and juniper which bring that strong woodsy and mixed aromatic tone. The cashmeran which is a smooth super soft woody musk is aided in mellowing character by labdanum, mastic resin, ambroxan and iso e super - all powerhouse grounding agents. The penetrating and very pleasant aroma chemicals in the mix give 05 the base strength to be a wonderful supportive and extending base that in combination with most any other fragrance will turn that scent into penetrating incense resin version of itself. But, Eccentric 05 is an outstanding perfume on its own too. It takes me back through long walks through a dense secret woodland. The effect is similar to a woodier, bolder version of Baccarat Rouge or a greener version of CDG Ouarzazate Incense Series. Thumbs up!
