Molecule 03 Eau de Toilette

What it is: A unisex fragrance featuring the woody, slightly grassy character of vetiver, but far smoother and softer.

Fragrance story: Molecule 03 consists of Vetiveryl Acetate, pure and singular. Vetiveryl Acetate is a fraction of vetiver oil distilled from the roots of an Indian grass, which is then 'crossed' with acetic and acid to remove the bitter and leathery aspects of the root. For Molecule 03, perfumer Geza Schoen put a modernist spin on Vetiveryl Acetate, the refined vetiver note celebrated for its earthy-smoky facets and rich, enveloping nature. Think of uncut grass on a warm day, or envisage a forest muddled with warm balsamic undertones, and you'll have an idea of what vetiver smells like. The result is an elegant and refined molecule with vetiver's woody, slightly grassy character, but far smoother and softer.

Style: Woody and aromatic

Notes: The Molecule 03 fragrance is radically minimalist. It contains no odorants except the aroma-molecule, Vetiveryl Acetate. Those customers who find the Molecule fragrances too subtle may wish to try the Escentric fragrances, which will always have a more powerful diffusion.
