ESCENTRIC MOLECULES - MOLECULE 05

Molecule 05 100 ml consists of Cashmeran, pure and unique.

Cashmeran is one of the greatest fragrance ingredients in synthetic chemistry. Warm and woody, with a resinous pine note, it has an unusually complex character for a single molecule. It combines enveloping, musky softness, dry, aromatic woodiness, and a sweet, resinous pine note.

“Molecule 05 is a minimalist sketch of summer,” says Geza Schoen.

"As one would expect from a name like Cashmeran, it is warm and flattering. For me, it evokes the sensuality of summer."

Cashmeran is both woody and musky. That's rare. But that's not all. It's complex and multifaceted, almost like an entire fragrance contained within a single molecule. How can something be both dry and creamy at the same time? It's paradoxical. It has the dryness typical of woods, but also a creamy aura that makes you want to snuggle up in it.

What really evokes that summer feeling for me is the pine note in the molecule. We usually think of pine as the pure, intense scent of needles. But the pine note in Cashmeran is different. It's the scent of pine wood. This smell reminds me of a walk along a path lined with ancient trees, their wood saturated with sun all summer long, until they exhale their last breaths of a resinous, balsamic fragrance. It even has something else: a fruity note. "Cashmeran is one of those mysterious molecules that are difficult to put into words," says Geza.
