Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I was going to try it to see how it was, but it smells very weird to me, almost like pure amber mixed with Iso E Super, and honestly, it’s not for me.
I ended up only with the 10ml decant, which turned out to be very expensive and I think it’s excessive for something so simple. Its fame is just marketing, manipulated YouTube reviews, and suspicious campaigns; for me, it’s pure urban legend.
I agree it’s different; it projects rich bursts and people can even compliment you. But this and Zara’s 4mbr0x1d3 are the same thing. The only difference is one costs over €100 and the Zara one (now discontinued) was around €15.
It smells weird, but in an addictive way. It projects, comes and goes like its sibling Escentric 01. It’s all synthetic but so well-constructed that people ask what you’re wearing, not knowing if they’ll give you a compliment or say you smell weird. It has charisma for everyday wear and is necessary for formal clothes; to be that individual who smells different. Honestly, I loved it.
To many it might seem indifferent, even unattractive and expensive for what it is… its fame is just marketing. Many experts fail to grasp the dimension of this work of art. Who said great geniuses aren’t simple and rare? If something captivates millions, including me, it must have something good. I’m not an expert in perfumes or wine, but if I don’t like something, I doubt it’s good. Escentric 02 is among the best I’ve tried; when people ask you over and over what cologne you’re wearing, there must be a reason.
