Javanol is a sandalwood-type molecule that retains the radiance and endurance of natural sandalwood, but is sheer and transparent like no sandalwood in nature.
“What I love about Javanol is its almost psychedelic freshness,” says Geza Schoen. “It smells as if liquid metallic grapefruit peel were poured over a bed of velvety cream-coloured roses.”
Escentric 04 focuses on Javanol in a formula that highlights the grapefruit accent in the molecule.
The result is a uniquely fresh interpretation of a sandalwood fragrance, fizzing with crisp, bitter top notes of pink grapefruit peel with added zest of lime. Juniper and pink pepper give an extra shot of freshness, and marijuana brings out the softer quality of the grapefruit pith. The heart is orris with a ‘fresh soft rose’ composed of four different rose ingredients. The dry down is balsamic and woody with Javanol in combination with the somewhat sweeter sandalwood molecule, Polysantol.
