Molecule 05

Molecule 05 100ml consists of Cashmeran, pure and singular.

Cashmeran is one of the greats of synthetic chemistry. Warm and woody, with a resinous pine note, it has an unusually complex character for a single molecule. It combines cocooning, musky softness, dry, aromatic woodiness, and a sweet resinous pine note.

“Molecule 05 is a minimalist sketch of summer,” says Geza Schoen.

“As you would expect with a name like Cashmeran, it’s warm and caressing. For me, it evokes the sensuousness of summer.

Cashmeran is both woody and musky. Already, that’s rare. But that’s not all. It’s complex and multi-faceted, almost like a whole fragrance in one molecule. How can something be dry and creamy at the same time? It’s a paradox. It has the dry quality typical of woods, but also a creamy aura that makes you want to nuzzle into it.

What really pumps up the summer feeling for me is the pine note in the molecule. We tend to think of the clean, high smell of the needles when we think of pine. But the pine note in Cashmeran is different. It’s the scent of pine wood. That smell, for me, evokes walking up a path of ancient trees whose wood has been penetrated by the sun all summer long till they ooze out the last gasps of a resinous, balsamic breath. It even has something else. A fruity note. Cashmeran is one of those mysterious molecules that is hard to put into words,” says Geza.

Cashmeran was created in a laboratory at the IFF in the late 1970s.

A smooth and musky scent that merges with your skin chemistry, Molecule 05100ml Fragrance has an undefinable magnetism, and adds a subtle yet requisite element to our lives that stimulates all the senses.
