Product Details “Cashmeran is dry radiant warm and woody with an unexpected touch of pine resin ” says perfumer Geza Schoen. “That gave me the idea of creating a different kind of summer fragrance. I wanted to evoke what it was like to be by the sea but not by using the usual marine notes which I find too artificial. Instead I wanted to recreate the experience of being on an island in the Mediterranean. Escentric 05 is special. Like the other Escentric fragrances it riffs on the Molecule but it's more than that. Escentric 05 is an evocation of a summer retreat on a Mediterranean island. It's a little piece of my heart my most personal fragrance yet. It was influenced by the very specific smells of the old cobbled path that leads to our little house on Mallorca. The first time I walked along that path I began to scribble inside the notebook – notes about the smell how unusual it was.” The top note of Escentric 05 is very simple: bergamot to keep things light and orange an ingredient which has an emotional tone to it bright and happy. It reflects the orange groves that cover this island. Laurel and rosemary are typical Mediterranean plants with a spicy freshness juniper brings a herbal tonality and cypress is a very dry pungent wood. The drydown has two classic Mediterranean ingredients cistus labdanum and mastic. Mastic is a resin produced by a small tree that grows especially near the sea. It has the clean sharp scent of newly-cut branches. Cistus is a small plant that grows everywhere in the Mediterranean. It has a sweet leathery balsamic quality. And of course there is around 15% of cashmeran – which gives the fragrance its piney warmth. It also introduces a subtle fig both the bitterness of the leaves and the ripeness of the fruit. “Figs had to be in there because there is a fig tree by our house on the island. Fig feels authentic to the place it reminds me of the happiness of summer by the sea.” Safety cap not included.
