Affection in orange-green
... when I discovered 12 or 13 years ago during a stressful time Molecule 01 for me, it happened that a friend out of curiosity about this special brand sometime visited a noble perfumery in Hamburg - and also found.
Back she came but not with M01, but with E02.
"The pure molecule 02 smelled somehow like P..." she said, mine was out of the question for her, but this Escentric variant had done it to her.

I sniffed interested.
I found the fragrance basically first pleasant and unusual (despite M01 was not clear to me at the time the whole concept, Ambroxan I consequently did not know, could not really imagine anything under all). Basically there was for me only "I like" or just not.
Out of curiosity, I sprayed myself a little on the wrist (on which, by the way, I wore a watch with a textile strap), because I always like to test everything, and was also consistently taken. But without many ulterior motives.... just "really nice". Almdudler and MacBook analogies wouldn't have even crossed my mind, even if I'd known they existed. Just really nice. With a freshness that wasn't pungent, and a slight fruitiness that was discreet enough for me that I wouldn't have known what fruit it actually was. Just lovely.
Today I know it's probably the tangerine that gives the scent the orange touch, and vetiver is responsible for the green part. - So the colors in my nose.

And of incredible persistence. The next morning, it was still sniffing kindly on my wrist. With more scent experience, I would say today, the woody note has made it overnight cozy and close to the skin, but still very present and clearly perceptible.

But then....
I wore the watch again sometime a week or so later.
The scent had lingered in the bracelet and unfolded all over again when I wore it, and I felt like I had reapplied the scent. I had not experienced SUCH a sensation with a perfume. I was impressed. Immediately updated with it the mood of the nice evening with my girlfriend, the atmosphere, the trappings.

That this fragrance was able to I've remembered.
Every now and then, when we met, I updated the scent memory.

A few years later, E02 then moved in with me. Has also celebrated with me wedding.

Interestingly, I usually do not get along so well with the various "Ambroxan"-pur scents. M02 I experience just as pungent, we NAP Superdose, while I actually perceive the "normal" NAP only a little.

E02 I like to wear when I need friendly approachability, for me the fragrance is spring-like orange-green, cheerful, by no means inconspicuous, but at the same time not intrusive. I've been asked about it once or twice, the scent is perceived as pleasantly fresh, though I do think the sillage isn't mind-blowing to others if you don't overdo it with the dosage. Rather inviting. And really suitable for everyday use.
Even if I locate it in spring, you can wear E02 without problems m.E. year-round, because the woody accord eventually transitions into a softly cozy, unheavy warmth.

Today I wore it for the first time in a long time. And had a nice, peaceful day with the fragrance despite all the vagaries of the current news and circumstances.

I have' the really like and would recommend everyone to test him times as a companion through the day. The makes no spectacle, but he can carry, accompany, invite and gently lift the mood. And is for me also a "Immergeher" when I'm indecisive.

Layering I would him because of the existing composition rather not. If, then maybe with what light, citrus.

My signature fragrance is still M01, but the Escentric 02 I would not want to miss.

Pleasant and low-friction woody-floral freshness ... no more, no less!
Well, I'm totally free of all the marketing gimmicks around this scent. Apple, Almdudler, aphrodisiac? All nonsense in my eyes or in my nose. And yet many let themselves be seduced by the advertising promises that they have found the scented sky on earth or demonize the stuff as disgusting chemistry. I honestly don't care how a fragrance is produced, at the latest since I know that 80 percent of the world's raspberry aroma is obtained by chemical transformation from cedar wood! It's true, you're welcome to google! ;-)

Here, 13.5 percent Ambroxan is now included. Such a lot of perfume is usually not even found in most expensive perfumes. Good thing no one has to go looking for sperm whale excreta anymore, though, right? Now I can't say exactly how pure Amber or Ambroxan smells, so I concentrate on the overall impression. This one comes across as wonderfully unpretentious and doesn't seem to me to want to revolutionize the perfume industry. I sniff out a fresh, woody scent and with it a combination that is one of my favourite.

Many may think I'm crazy now, but "Escentric 02" seems a bit like the unisex version of Armani's "Eau de Cédre" to me. A little less wood, but more flowery freshness. I don't want to get too close to individual ingredients, maybe I lack the olfactory competence for this. I find that both fragrances are harmonious in themselves and come across as quite linear. I miss the aha effect, but it doesn't have to mean anything bad, on the contrary. Escentric 02" is for me a fragrance for every occasion and every occasion, although of course it is a bit stronger in the warm season. For me it's also more of a men's fragrance.

The price is on the level of the standard fragrances of Armani, Chanel or Dior, so it is not a bargain, but not completely overpriced. For my part, I think that - apart from the whole marketing hype - a lot of things have been done right here. For those who like it more lively and citrical, grab Geza Schöns "Eau Yes". I like the fact that this man remains true to his line and spares me the omnipresent gourmand sweetness

Those who cannot perceive Molecule 02...
...he tries this variant, which really everyone can smell now.
However, I find the fragrance a little more penetrating because of this.

Apart from that for me simply unbelievably special, like Molecule 02.

To the fragrance:
It smells green woody and fresh without being too tart. It is absolutely unisex, maybe because of the sweet fruity tangerine
Shelf life /Sillage:

The shelf life is above average for me, I can still smell it very good after 6 hours.

The sillage is strong. I take the scent on others was strong, but also I am ALWAYS asked about it when I wear it.

Conclusion:

If you cannot perceive Molecule 02, you should try this one. Green woody fresh with a fruity mandarin. It is not as fine as M02, but still a great alternative. Absolutely unisex!

Love-hate and Geza Schön
So after the hype around Molecule 01, I started to read and test myself through some of his other works and it seems to me that you can feel only one of the two to his scents, especially to his Escentric Molecules project. Completely in love, or an abnormal dislike.
So far I'm more on the side of enthusiasm. My nose isn't particularly practised or super demanding, which may be its part, but its scents always feel non-conformist to me, even when they are apparently meant to be traditional, and I like that.

Escentric 02 is supposed to smell like Macbook and Almdudler according to the information here, but unfortunately I cannot confirm or deny both, because I :

1. Don't spend money on Apple products, spend it on perfumes

and

2.Almdudler once drank in my youth and found it incredibly disgusting

Electronic articles or plastic Vibes do not come up with me in any case.
I could understand the doodler comparison, because the fragrance has something "sparkling" all the time,
like when you drink a carbonated soft drink.
But if I could see this gin and tonic water note with a little berry that makes up the fragrance for me in general.
Beautifully fresh and "fruity", but no sweet organic fruitiness or gourmand dried fruit, rather a splash of freshly squeezed citrus fruit. Tendency to light bitterness rather than sweetness.
Dry gin + tonic water on freshly washed sheets, with a slightly woody bedstead.
No real fruits, only chemistry and synthetics round and smooth, nothing that polarizes.
But does that have to be bad? Not in my eyes, because the scent delivers.
Doesn't knock your socks off, but smells "different" and interesting for me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------br /> Set citrus effervescent powder-carbonated detergent gintonic mix, relatively quiet and close to the skin.
"Cold" enough to be refreshing, "warm" enough to feel comfortable and relaxed with the fragrance.
No Sillage or Projection Monster, durability rather in the midfield on my skin.
Definitely give it a try. I like it and it's wearable everywhere without tickling, because it doesn't really smell boozy despite the "gin" note.

Citrus bomb in a bottle
When I smelled it, there is a very pleasant freshness, very pleasant scent,
afterwards smells extremely citrusy and too flowery, unfortunately it gives me a headache (((
Goes in the direction of Aventus, unfortunately too concentrated for my nose.
My mother likes such fragrances, unfortunately I can't stand the freesia.
Very fresh, citrusy, clean fragrance. But unfortunately not for me.

Smells very feminine to me for a fragrance labeled "unisex". If you are a guy, I highly recommend getting a sample before buying.

Ambroxan, gin, vetiver, sage combine to create a short lived "new car smell" in a bottle. Synthetic, weird, slightly addictive.
