Molecule 05

One molecule instead of an entire formula — that is the whole idea. Cashmeran, created in IFF laboratories in the late 1970s, has an unusually complex character for a single material: dry yet earthy, with an almost mineral depth. On skin it can evoke a damp cellar, dark humus, and petrichor — the scent of earth after rain. Woody dryness sits beside cool dampness, while a resinous pine facet adds a subtle balsamic bitterness. On skin it behaves differently than on a blotter, merging with the body's own scent and becoming an extension of it — unique on everyone. Not perfume in the conventional sense, but a pure cross-section of nature.
