Escentric Molecules Molecule 04 Eau de Toilette (tester without cap)

The inclusion of synthetic notes in perfumes, thanks to the brand Escentric Molecules, is a matter of pride and a realm of unusual knowledge. In the fragrance Molecule 04, there is only one note present—Javanol. This molecule was developed in the laboratory of Givaudan in 1996.

The main theme characterizing this perfume is its similarity to sandalwood. Interestingly, it is not the dense, oriental, sweet, and base veil one typically associates with natural oil. Initially, you will sense durability and sensuality, a soft glow, and the depth of sandalwood. However, it will suddenly reveal gentle creamy tones, as well as an astonishing, almost psychedelic, freshness. The creator of the fragrance describes it as reminiscent of "Liquid, metallic grapefruit zest, whose drops sparkle on the velvety petals of cream-white roses." The perfume formula is unique in that it seems to dissolve seamlessly on the body and then reappear in new variations.

TESTER - A tester is a demonstration version of the fragrance, provided by manufacturers with a batch of products for advertising purposes at the point of sale. Please note that there are no differences (such as fragrance quality, durability, etc.) between a tester and the retail version! The difference lies only in the fact that since testers are produced for advertising purposes, the manufacturing company does not pay as much attention to their packaging: they are offered in so-called technical packaging (a simple cardboard box, different from the one used for retail bottles) and often do not come with a cap. This results in testers being priced lower.
