Molecule 03 30ml Refill

Molecule 03 consists of Vetiveryl Acetate, pure and singular. Vetiveryl Acetate could be described as a hybrid molecule, half-synthetic, half-natural. It is a fraction of vetiver oil distilled from the roots of an Indian grass, which is then 'crossed' with acetic acid to remove the bitter and leathery aspects of the root. In India, vetiver essential was an ingredient of ancient perfume and was referred to as 'the oil of tranquillity'. Vetiver is known to reduce anxiety and promote mental clarity through the comforting and venturing powers of its aura. For Molecule 03, Geza Schoen put a modernist spin on Vetiveryl Acetate; the refined vetiver note celebrated for its earthy-smokey facets and rich, enveloping nature. Think of a forest floor hybridised with a whisper of grapefruit, and you'll have an idea of what Molecule 03 smells like. "Acetylation brings out the grapefruit touch in vetiver, giving a more pronounced bitter-fresh top note," says Geza Schoen. This fragrance has been likened to romping through a sparkling grassy scentscape of soft, woody, earthy notes — an elegant skin scent with a demure sillage.
