ESCENTRIC MOLECULES Molecule 02 - Pure Ambroxan Fragrance, 100ml

• Molecule 02 consists of Ambroxan, pure and singular. Ambroxan is a crystal-chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris.
• For centuries, ambergris was perhaps the most prized ingredient in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance expelled by the sperm whale, which only attains its fine scent after a long maturation floating in the ocean.
• By far, the finest of amber created aromas is the nature-identical molecule Ambroxan. Ambergris was always valued for its refinement as well as its sensuality, and this quality persists in Ambroxan.
• Ambroxan was isolated from plant sources in 1950. The maximum percentage that can be dissolved in a fragrance compound is 13.5%. Any more, and it begins to crystallise out of the solution. Most fragrances with 'amber' contain 1-2%.
• Molecule 02 is 100% Ambroxan in alcohol and a little water. This is best described as a fresh, almost mineral smoothness, which subtly expands to envelop you in olfactive layers of sensuous, sparkling molecules.
