Escentric 05: The Unmistakable Scent of Mediterranean Sophistication
Forget heavy, over-engineered colognes that shout; the future of high-quality perfumery whispers. Escentric Molecules, the revolutionary brand built on minimalism and unique molecular depth, changed the landscape of scent by focusing not on vast pyramids, but on powerful singularity. Their philosophy is simple: use one key molecule to amplify a feeling or environment. The highly anticipated launch of Escentric 05 and its minimalist counterpart, Molecule 05, captured the essence of summer, sun, and the aromatic purity of the Mediterranean coast, promising a truly long-lasting and intimate experience. This is the definitive guide to why this fragrance is the ultimate statement of confident, intelligent freshness, available only at Near Store.
Minimalism Meets the Mediterranean: The Philosophy of Escentric 05
The genius of perfumer Geza Schoen lies in his ability to deconstruct complex olfactory experiences down to their most fundamental, impactful components. The Escentric line, in particular, focuses on using a single primary note alongside a limited supporting cast to tell a rich, non-traditional scent story.
Why Escentric 05 is a Unique Olfactory Experience
- The Power of Simplicity: Unlike fragrances with dozens of components, Escentric 05 uses a tight, masterful structure, ensuring every note is clear, crisp, and contributes directly to the overall effect of sophistication and freshness.
- Molecular Depth: The presence of the key molecule (Cashmeran, or "Molecule 05") is not just about a scent, but about sensation—it creates the feeling of warm sun on the skin and the dry, woody air of the coast. This molecular foundation ensures remarkable longevity.
- The Confident Aura: These are not fragrances that overpower. They are subtle, evolving, and intensely personal, creating an unmistakable signature scent that wears like a second skin, projecting quiet confidence rather than loud assertion.
The result is a fragrance that is both profoundly minimalist and surprisingly complex—a scent that feels less like a perfume and more like the natural, clean aroma of a perfect summer day.
The Unique Inspiration: Capturing the Coast in a Bottle
Escentric 05 and Molecule 05 were masterfully crafted by the nose behind the entire line, Geza Schoen, and launched in 2020. The inspiration was deeply personal, rooted in Schoen’s frequent escapes to his home on the island of Mallorca. He sought to bottle the essence of Mediterranean summer—a place defined by two scents: the salty marine air and the dry, aromatic flora.
The Aromatic Journey of Escentric 05
The core of this fragrance is its central molecule, Cashmeran, the feature of Molecule 05. Cashmeran provides the unique, sensual aroma of dry, woody musky air and the feeling of warmth.
| Scent Layer | Key Notes |
Olfactory Effect & Sophistication
|
| Opening (Freshness) | Bergamot, Orange, Laurel |
A burst of crisp, sun-drenched citrus and cool aromatic herbs, providing an instant feeling of pure, clean freshness.
|
| Heart (Aromatic Depth) | Cypress, Mastic, Violet, Juniper |
The true Mediterranean signature. The dry, pine-like woody character of Cypress and Juniper is balanced by the powdery touch of Violet and the balsamic Mastic resin.
|
| Base (Long-lasting Confidence) | Cedar, Cashmeran, Musk |
The foundation of longevity. Cedar provides structure, while Cashmeran and Musk create the warm, dry, slightly powdery amber finish that lingers exquisitely on the skin.
|
The resulting character is fresh, woody-aromatic, and clean, with a profound, almost comforting depth. It smells of pine needles baking under the sun, a clean breeze, and warm skin—a truly unique and transportive experience of timeless elegance.
Molecule 05: The Minimalist Musky Backbone
The Molecule 05 component of this dual release is dedicated solely to the single high-quality aroma-chemical: Cashmeran (also known by its main accord of musky, woody, powdery, and amber).
🌳 Woody, Musky, and Powdery AmberKey Molecule: Cashmeran
This is pure Cashmeran in isolation. It is a profoundly unique molecule that acts as both a woody note and a musk, possessing a soft, cashmere-like texture. It carries a dry, slightly spicy, amber aroma that is often described as the scent of warm, dry human skin after a day in the sun. It is an exercise in minimalism, blending almost invisibly with the wearer’s natural chemistry to create a highly long-lasting and personal signature scent of refined confidence.
🌟 Loved for: Its intimate, long-lasting woody-musky warmth and its ability to enhance the wearer's natural scent.
⚖️ Might not appeal: If you prefer high-sillage, traditional perfume structures, as this is designed to be subtle and ambient.
For Whom and When: Sophistication in Simplicity
The inherent minimalism and natural scent profile of Escentric 05 make it one of the most versatile and unique signature scents available.
Confidence and Style in the Aromatic
Escentric 05 is the quintessential unisex fragrance, although its pronounced woody-aromatic heart makes it a favourite among men and women who appreciate a clean, non-floral sophistication.
- Ideal Time of Year: It truly shines in the warm weather—spring, summer, and early autumn. The Cypress and Juniper notes thrive in the heat, releasing their fresh aromatic complexity.
- Style Profile: It is perfect for city casual, resort wear, or any environment where you want to project effortless confidence and timeless elegance. It is the scent of a relaxed intellectual, sophisticated yet approachable.
- The Long-Lasting Day Scent: Due to its clean freshness and strong woody foundation, it is arguably the perfect daytime scent—it is noticeable and long-lasting but never heavy or distracting.
It is the fragrance for the person whose presence is felt through their subtle, intelligent sophistication, not their volume.

Alternative Routes to Molecular Sophistication: Perfumes Similar to Molecule 05
Molecule 05 (Cashmeran) is defined by its unique aroma: a dry, warm, woody, musky, and powdery note that is incredibly long-lasting and intimate. It’s less of a perfume and more of an aura. Below are detailed descriptions of fragrances that capture a similar sense of minimalism, depth, and confidence, offering alternative routes to this high-quality molecular elegance.
Monocline 05 Eau De Essence by Maison Alhambra (2022)
🍃 Woody, Musky, Powdery, Amber
🎯 How it is Similar to Molecule 05: This fragrance is designed to be an olfactory echo of the pure Cashmeran experience. It focuses heavily on the dry, warm, and slightly spiced woody-musky facets of the molecule. Like Molecule 05, it wears close to the skin, relying on warmth to amplify its soft, powdery amber aura. It captures the same feeling of clean, warm skin and ensures an incredibly long-lasting and intimate signature scent of subtle sophistication.
🚫 How it is Different: As a potential clone or inspired scent, it might lack the singular, high-quality clarity of the original pure Cashmeran. While it hits the main accords, its blend may feel slightly more diffuse or contain minor additional elements to boost projection, potentially making it less purely minimalist than Molecule 05.
Peau D'ailleurs by Starck Paris (2016)
🗿 Earthy, Musky, Powdery, Woody, Animalic
🎯 How it is Similar to Molecule 05: Peau D'ailleurs shares a similar concept of 'second skin' and abstract depth. Its central idea is the scent of the unknown—mineral, earthy, and deeply musky. Annick Menardo used specific molecules to create a warm, almost sensual powdery texture, much like Cashmeran. It is designed to be an intimate, long-lasting signature scent that merges with the wearer, projecting quiet confidence rather than traditional perfume notes.
🚫 How it is Different: The inclusion of strong earthy and distinctly animalic accords pushes this scent further toward the primitive and abstract. Where Molecule 05 is clean and powdery-woody, Peau D'ailleurs is darker, more grounded, and features an unusual mineral-metallic coldness, making it less conventionally comforting and more conceptually challenging.
B-612 by Nishane (2018)
🌲 Woody, Aromatic, Powdery, Musky, Fresh Spicy Notes: Lavender, Cypress, Geranium, Cashmeran, Sandalwood, Cedar, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Musk, Tonka Bean.
🎯 How it is Similar to Molecule 05: This is perhaps the closest full perfume analogue, as Cashmeran is listed prominently in its middle notes. The presence of Cashmeran provides the same soft, woody, powdery musky texture that anchors Molecule 05. This foundation gives B-612 its superior longevity and its warm, dry finish, delivering a similar confident and refined sophistication that feels warm on the skin.
🚫 How it is Different: B-612 is a much more complete, traditional Woody Aromatic Fougere structure. It has a bright, assertive opening of Lavender and Cypress (Aromatic notes also found in the full Escentric 05). While the base shares the molecular warmth of Molecule 05, B-612 layers it over substantial Cedar, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss, resulting in a richer, higher-sillage, and less minimalist projection.
Attaquer Le Soleil Marquis De Sade by Etat Libre d'Orange (2016)
☀️ Amber, Musky, Woody, Balsamic, Sweet
🎯 How it is Similar to Molecule 05: This fragrance shares the concept of abstract depth and intense warmth, though achieved differently. It is a radical, almost singular focus on the raw, balsamic note of Cistus Labdanum, which often carries strong amber, musky, and woody facets—the same warm, dry feelings evoked by Cashmeran. Like Molecule 05, it feels primal, deeply sensual, and achieves a remarkable, long-lasting effect of warm skin and firelight, projecting quiet, unmistakable confidence.
🚫 How it is Different: Where Molecule 05 is purely synthetic and clean, Attaquer Le Soleil is aggressively natural and resinous. It has a much more pronounced balsamic and slightly sweet character due to the intense Labdanum, lacking the powdery, airy minimalism of Cashmeran. It is darker, denser, and projects a more extreme, almost ritualistic sophistication.
