   I have owned Escentric 05 for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The first minutes are all about Juniper with a hint of Bergamot — it grabs attention without being pushy. The opening is built around Juniper and Bergamot — bright and immediately recognizable. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   Picked up a sample of Escentric 05 after reading the community buzz (2020). That first spray gives a lovely Juniper/Bergamot impression that dries down smoothly. The heart is the best part for me: Cypress and Hedione feel carefully balanced. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

   I have owned Escentric 05 for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Cypress with Hedione, which is where the fragrance really shines. The drydown leans on Iso E Super plus Cashmeran and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   I have owned Escentric 05 for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. That first spray gives a lovely Juniper/Bergamot impression that dries down smoothly. The base rests on Iso E Super and Cashmeran — warm, grounded and easy to live with. The trail is there if someone steps close, not across the room. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   A couple of wears in, Escentric 05 has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Cypress with Hedione comes forward — smooth and well done. The opening is built around Juniper and Bergamot — bright and immediately recognizable. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   Escentric Molecules knows how to compose, and Escentric 05 (2020) is proof. Give it a little time and Cypress with Hedione comes forward — smooth and well done. As it settles, Iso E Super and Cashmeran come through and give it real depth. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   I’ve been wearing Escentric 05 on and off for a few weeks now (2020). The base rests on Iso E Super and Cashmeran — warm, grounded and easy to live with. Right away I get mostly Juniper alongside Bergamot, fresh and very easy to wear. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   A couple of wears in, Escentric 05 has really grown on me. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Cypress with Hedione, which is where the fragrance really shines. The very first sniff is crisp Juniper with Bergamot peeking through, very much my kind of start. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

The first minutes are all about Juniper with a hint of Bergamot — it grabs attention without being pushy. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

    Everyone keeps talking about Escentric 05, so I finally gave it a proper test. Right away I get mostly Juniper alongside Bergamot, fresh and very easy to wear. That first spray gives a lovely Juniper/Bergamot impression that dries down smoothly. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

    For a 2020 release, Escentric 05 deserves more attention than it gets. The heart is the best part for me: Cypress and Hedione feel carefully balanced. As it settles, Iso E Super and Cashmeran come through and give it real depth. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

The very first sniff is crisp Juniper with Bergamot peeking through, very much my kind of start. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.
