Strictly speaking, this isn’t really a review, but in the interest of perfume geekery I’ll share my experience with the latest two fragrances (Escentric 02 and Molecule 02) from Escentric Molecules, the niche line of perfumer perfumer Geza Schoen.
When I “reviewed” Escentric 01 back in 2006, I found that the fragrance was so perfectly described by the brand’s own description that it was silly to say much more, so I just quoted the description and added a few words.

There is an interesting article about scent marketing in the IndyStar:
A growing number of companies are targeting consumers' sense of smell to market brands and products in an almost subliminal way. They're hiring scent marketers, who concoct odors and serve them up using blowers strategically placed in public places.
