Escentric Molecules Molecule 02
Molecule 02 consists of the molecule AMBROXANâą pure and singular.
AMBROXANâą has a subtle sensual quality with a radiant, long-lasting drydown.
It is a crystal with a chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris. For centuries ambergris was perhaps the most prized ingredient in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance expelled by the cachalot or sperm whale which only attains its fine scent after a long maturation floating in the ocean. Ambergris is rarely found these days, and the âamberâ in a modern fragrance will be a lab-created equivalent of some of the aroma-molecules that make up its scent. By far the finest of these is the nature-identical molecule, AMBROXANâą.
Ambergris was always valued for its refinement as well as its sensuality. This quality persists in AMBROXANâą. âIt has a fresh almost mineral quality,â says perfumer, Geza Schoen, âthat lingers into the drydown.â
AMBROXANâą was isolated from plant sources in 1950.
