Molecule 04 Eau de Toilette

Javanol, pure and singular. A sandalwood that is creamy, bright, and almost see-through.

Javanol keeps the radiance and staying power of natural sandalwood, but it is sheer and transparent in a way no sandalwood from a tree is. It does not exist in nature. Givaudan created it in a lab in 1996. Geza Schoen likens the freshness to grapefruit peel poured over a bed of cream-coloured roses, and that is a fair picture.

Creamy, woody, and radiant, with a metallic edge and a different kind of freshness that sets it apart from the sandalwoods you have smelled before. It opens fresh and gets warmer as it settles on your skin. If you like sandalwood and want a lighter, cleaner take on it, start here. Read how the Escentric Molecules range works and which one to buy.
