4th time is the charm?
I wasn't a fan of 1, 2, or 3, but the different take on sandalwood using javanol made this one full bottle worthy. Please check out my review on YouTube :)

Escentric 04 - Sweet Grapefruit
When I first sampled this, I was really dazzled by how juicy and sweet the grapefruit note was, especially coming after the woody and more somber profiles of E01-03. I had called it a "marvelous ruby grapefruit candy," and I still stand by that more or less. But I want to stress that it's not sweet and "sugary" in the way a B&BW fragrance might be, and I don't want to deter people that are put off by sweet scents. This is really gorgeous and smells like the color of a sunset—that rich, pinkish orange when it's like the sky's on fire.

In Matvey Yudov's article about Javanol, which E04 heroes out, he mentions, "Javanol possesses a distinctive tropical fruity nuance resembling tropical fruits and grapefruit..." which I'm glad to see. I think it really helps to validate what I was experiencing with Escentric 04 because no one else was mentioning how fruity it was in other reviews.

Polysantal and Javanol joins hands with Iso E Super
Whereas Molecule 04 is basically diluted Javanol, a sandalwood replacer that gives a rich, steamy-tropical creaminess to a perfume, Escentric 04 takes things one step further by adding Polysantol, a powerful sandalwood synthetic that adds tremendous volume and diffusion. In other words, the wood accord here is both loud and creamy-sweet. But it’s been made summer-friendly (and more complex) through the addition of a bright, fizzy combination of pink pepper, grapefruit, and rose, as well as an uplifting and realistic marijuana note.

Radiant without any chemical harshness, Escentric 04 has all the sparkling freshness of a raspberry champagne cocktail and the naughtiness of a joint shared between friends on a rooftop in the city. But what really seals the deal is that, as the day wears on, that pink grapefruit note turns slightly, verging on urinous or rotting, which contrasts beautifully with the laundry-clean woodiness that makes up the body of the scent. It’s this tiny note of fruit rot that makes this one such a winner.

...one of my summer sweethearts...
Besides Clean Reserve-Citron Fig, the No. 2 fragrance I like to wear in summer. I admit that on very hot days, like this summer, I don't like to wear perfume. With this fragrance, however, it is different. Yes, I'll even go one step further. You could even wear it all year round.
How shall I put it now??? What do I love about the scents of Geza Schön? Or their molecular series?
Is it precisely this simplicity, this not complicated, this not so complex?
So can you take "ingenious simplicity" as a guarantor for it or does it devalue him?
NO, I don't think so.
I think perfumers with headaches are often sitting in the corner and pondering, what the hell else can they UNPACK with it..... does it always have to be?
Also a clear NO (and this does not mean that it is easy to create this kind of fragrances).
Sometimes things come out so absurd I grab my head.
Fragrances that smell of rust or blood.
Honestly, I think that's perverse.
And if you even sell something like that as "art", I literally get my gall up.
I also have a basic problem with the word "art".
If I've always heard that.
They're all artists.
The actor, the painter or draughtsman, the musician, the perfumer.
To me, an actor is an actor, a painter or draughtsman, a musician a musician and a perfumer a perfumer. I'm not an artist in my job. That someone can be talented in one or more things is true, but he is not an artist to me.

On the other hand, I have to say that I really like this fragrance.

It starts on my skin with pink pepper and joins grapefruit quite quickly, if not at lightning speed. Always with the light mist of javanol.

Thank you again, Mr. Schön!

Super different
My all time favorite perfume. Very different from other perfumes. Geza Schoen is a non conformist! I like his style of perfumes.
Escentric-Molecule 04 = Fresh grapefruit squeezed on a metal bar and some beautiful cozy sandalwood in the background... Sounds weird, but it's awesome

Chill grapefruit-juniper breeze supported by the omnipresent sandalwood, that slowly warm up on the skin into a lovely flowery-incensy-musk.
