MOLECULE 02

ESCENTRIC MOLECULES MOLECULE 02

Molecule 02 is composed of pure and unique Ambroxan.

Ambroxan has a crystal-chemical structure identical to that of ambrox derived from ambergris. For centuries, ambergris was perhaps the most prized ingredient in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance released by the sperm whale, or cachalot, and only achieves its fine aroma after a long maturation floating in the ocean.

Ambergris is rare today, and the "amber" in a modern fragrance will be a laboratory-created equivalent of some of its constituent aromatic molecules. Undoubtedly, the finest of these is the nature-identical molecule, ambroxan. Ambergris has always been valued for its refinement and sensuality, and this quality persists in ambroxan.

Ambroxan was isolated from plant sources in 1950. The maximum percentage that can be dissolved in a fragrance compound is 13.5%. Add more and it begins to crystallize in solution. Most "amber" fragrances contain between 1% and 2%.

Molecule 02 is 100% Ambroxan in alcohol and a little water.

It's best described as a fresh, almost minerally softness that subtly expands to envelop you in olfactory layers of sensual, sparkling molecules.

Unisex.
