Two years after the launch of EM04, Escentric Molecules 05 appeared. As the number suggests, it is the fifth creation from the label that has been revolutionising the world of fragrance since 2005 and proving time and again that ‘less’ can mean ‘more’ in the world of perfumes.
The main role in EM05 is played by the molecule Cashmeran: warm, woody and with a resinous pine note, it is the abstraction of a hot summer on a Mediterranean island. Molecule 05 focuses on pure Cashmeran and combines an enveloping musky softness with dry, aromatic woodiness and a sweet, resinous pine note.
As always, the packaging is broken up by the lens of ‘art and chemistry’: summer light scattered into tiny particles, accompanied by a visual rhythm of marine blue and bright vitamin green.

Escentric Molecules portables are 30ml fragrances that slot into sleek, minimalist cases for maximum portability. Each metal case is blasted with stainless steel ‘sand’ to burnish the surface to a soft lustre. It is then anodised for high durability.
