Escentric 03 honours Vetiveryl Acetate, a natural root + synthetic hybrid.

Vetiver's alluringly sensual aromatic profile goes beyond composition. This accord has a crisp, clean sharpness with an effervescent quality that plays beautifully in the landscape of skin scents.

Escentric 03 focuses on Vetiveryl Acetate in a formula that pays tribute to the three roots used in perfumery: vetiver, ginger and orris. "I wanted Escentric 03 to bring out the scent impressions of these roots and show how they harmonise with each other," says Geza Schoen.

Ginger dominates the top note, which is vibrant, green and spicy with lime peel and green peppercorn. The heart is a rich, velvety orris with Egyptian jasmine and tea notes. The drydown reveals the complex earthiness of vetiver combined with sandalwood, cedar, mellow balsams and musk.

The result is a spicy but fresh and elegant chypre with woody, balsamic notes — that heady hit of dark green woodiness when you walk past tropical grass, but far smoother and softer.
