Escentric Molecules portables are 30ml fragrances that slot into sleek, minimalist cases for maximum portability. Each metal case is blasted with stainless steel sand to burnish the surface to a soft lustre. It is then anodised for high durability. Vetiveryl Acetate could be described as a hybrid molecule, half-natural, half-synthetic. 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. The result is an elegant and refined molecule with the woody, slightly grassy character of vetiver, but far smoother and softer. The upper face of the Molecule 03 case lid is stamped with the letter m in binary code: 01101101 and the number 03. Molecule 03 consists of Vetiveryl Acetate, pure and singular.
