Description

“Cashmeran is dry, radiant, warm and woody with an unexpected touch of pine resin,” says Geza Schoen. “That gave me the idea of creating a different kind of summer fragrance. I wanted to evoke what it was like to be by the sea, but not by using the usual marine notes, which I find too artificial. Instead, I wanted to recreate the experience of being on an island in the Mediterranean.

The top note of Escentric 05 is very simple: bergamot to keep things light, and orange, an ingredient which has an emotional tone to it, bright and happy. It reflects the orange groves that cover this island.

Laurel and rosemary are typical Mediterranean plants with a spicy freshness, juniper brings a herbal tonality and cypress is a very dry, pungent wood.

The drydown has two classic Mediterranean ingredients, cistus labdanum and mastic. Mastic is a resin produced by a small tree that grows especially near the sea. It has the clean sharp scent of newly-cut branches. Cistus is a small plant that grows everywhere in the Med. It has a sweet, leathery, balsamic quality which I love. And of course, there is around 15% of cashmeran – which gives the fragrance its piney warmth.

I also introduced a subtle fig, both the bitterness of the leaves and the ripeness of the fruit. Figs had to be in there because there is a fig tree by our house on the island. Fig feels authentic to the place, it reminds me of the happiness of summer by the sea.”

How to use
In order for you to fully enjoy your new fragrance: apply to warm zones, pulse points, where skin is generally somewhat thinner. On your wrists, the sides of your neck, back of your knees…Hair is also known as an excellent carrier of perfume – that’s why ‘team 2’ advocates applying perfume on the upper side of your fore arm. The tiny hairs on your skin ensure a beautiful sillage (provided the skin is well hydrated).


The cloud.

Are you a fan of the ‘perfume cloud’ to walk through to perfume your hair? Be sure to check the alcohol percentage in your fragrance, it might dry out your strands. Better look for a matching hair perfume. And always hold your breath while your head is in the cloud.


Body care & perfume.

Doesn’t your perfume last as long as you might expect? Make sure your skin is moisturized. Scent molecules tend to bind better to hydrated skin. So, make sure to apply a neutral body lotion or cream after bathing, before applying perfume.


Spoiled nose.

Do you hardly smell your signature scent anymore? Always check with someone else before over spritzing! Your nose might have become used to your signature scent.


Cuffing.

Never rub your wrists after applying perfume. This classic gesture does not enhance your perfume. Au contraire. The top notes fade and evaporate too quickly, you’ll miss out on the overall experience. So, let’s kick this habit!
