Over the past 11 years, I have interviewed Geza numerous times for CaFleureBon as well as for other publications. His fragrances (for his own brands or for other commissions) have a signature that is uniquely his. In February of 2020, I had the opportunity to be the first blogger to interview perfumer Geza Schoen on the much anticipated Escentric Molecules 05 Series here.
Here is an excerpt:
Michelyn Camen: What was the genesis for Escentric Molecules 05 and Cashmeran, from a creative standpoint?
Geza Schoen: All molecules I chose need complexity. Most or let’s say at least 99% of all aroma chemicals need other synthetic or natural products with them to conquer their linear olfactoric appearance. Cashmeran has got that capacity. First of all it is kind of a hybrid between a woody and a musky ingredient. Secondly, I see a piney note and even a slight fruity note in it. Ultimately it is always the molecule itself which leads to the concept of the corresponding Escentric fragrance. I was able at various stages of the year to observe the smell of a Mediterranean island with its changing natural notes and aromas. after one year it dawned on me that cashmeran would be the perfect base for a fragrance which embraces a summery atmosphere in the hills close to the coastline. Especially the dry and resinous woods towards the end of the summer gives this particular scent which is key to the creation of Escentric Molecule 05.
Editor Sebastian Jara is a real fan of the brand, and has worn Escentric 01 since 2010 as well as owns and purchased Escentric 02 (Ambroxan) 03 (vetiveryle acetate) and 04 (javenol); I encourage our readers and viewers to read my interview with Geza that discusses Escentric 01-4 here.
Sebastian loves to layer and is very knowledgeable about cashmeran, so watch his video to learn more-Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
