You’re quite Escentric…
I’m going to cut this as short as I can for those who don’t want to read on- this scent is alright, the bottle is beautiful and the price is a robbery.
It smells like rotten celery in the best way possible, but the vetiver(yl acetate) shines through. It’s like a mix of Chanel’s Allure Homme Sport Cologne (if it was left to oxidise for 2 years) and Lalique’s Encre Noire’s dry downs, the celery originating from the Allure and of course the vetiver and earthiness coming from the Encre Noire.
For some odd reason, I get a grassy note from the earthiness. It reminds me a lot of a day out at the park, and I would say that this is no doubt my scent for spring. It’s strange, but surprisingly quite mass appealing; if you like Encre Noire but you were disappointed by the Sport flanker, here’s the jack of all trades.
If you aren’t familiar with Encre Noire and still want to buy this scent, like many of the Escentrics and the Molecules, it is essential you purchase a sample before buying. I bought this off the basis that this was a quote ‘beachy Encre Noire’, and while that’s not exactly true from what I can detect, it’s close enough.
Speaking of detection, the sillage on this isn’t great. It’s solid, but it’s a personal scent bubble; you won’t get ‘Followed’ (if you know the reference). Longevity is decent, I get a good six hours before it ceases. Price to performance ratio is pretty poor at a retail value of £100 for 100ml, if not over that price. However, I would say this is one of, if not, the best Escentrics out of the line, however it could be argued that 04 is better but it’s all (skin) chemistry really.
The review ends here, but I really love the bottle. It’s very much reflective of the scent as a whole as well as the background of Escentric Molecules with the binary code dotted around alongside the linear minimalistic design. The green colour scheme is perfect summary of the scent profile.
