Escentric 03 is a tribute to the more familiar side of vetiver: its dark, slightly exotic woodiness. The fragrance opens with a burst of freshness – the ginger root is joined by top notes of green peppercorn and Mexican lime.
The heart of orris is surrounded by Egyptian jasmine and soft tea notes. Then, at the base of the fragrance, the slightly bitter notes of vetiver are smoothed by rich amber shades of sandalwood, cedar, leather and musk.
The overall impression is spicy but fresh with warm balsamic undertones, like a traditional chypre. It’s sensuous without sweetness, which is a signature by perfumer Geza Schoen. And, because he also excels at unexpected associations, you may even detect a fugitive tang of ginger ale.
MeCompany’s packaging has always been a star in the Escentric story, complementing the allusive nature of the fragrances themselves with striking visuals. To reinforce the “rootsiness” of the latest additions to the range, the packaging for 03 has a mood that is organic but mysterious, suggesting something dark moving just below the surface of things, something you can’t quite put your finger on. As much as it is a visual introduction to another seductive chapter in the unfolding Escentric Molecules saga, it is also a testament to the inscrutable power of scent itself.
