Since its debut in 2006, Escentric 01 has remained a cornerstone of the niche fragrance world. Created by visionary perfumer Geza Schoen, this scent challenged the industry standard by centering its composition around the synthetic wonder, Iso E Super. Escentric 01 is not merely a fragrance; it is an olfactory study in minimalism. By blending high-concept chemistry with traditional notes, Schoen created a scent that feels both futuristic and timeless, appealing to those who prefer a skin-scent that evolves uniquely with their own body chemistry.
