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.

Escentric 03 focuses on vetiveryl acetate in a formula that pays tribute to the three roots used in perfumery: vetiver, ginger, and orris, which is extracted from the roots of the Florentine iris. "I wanted Escentric 03 to bring out the scent impressions of these roots," says Geza Schoen, "and show how they harmonize with each other."

Ginger dominates the top note, which is vibrant, green, and spicy with lime peel and green peppercorn. The heart is rich, velvety orris with Egyptian jasmine and tea notes. The drydown emphasizes the dark green woodiness of vetiver together with sandalwood, cedar, mellow balsams, and musk.
