A single synthetic sandalwood molecule presented in near-isolation, exploring the creamy-woody spectrum with radical simplicity

Era & Context

Deconstructed

The fourth entry in Geza Schoen's Molecule series, built around Javanol—a synthetic sandalwood material that offers creamy, woody warmth without the ethical concerns of natural sandalwood harvesting. Continues the series' radical proposition that a single aroma-chemical can constitute a complete fragrance.
