Cashmeran, the sole fragrant component in Molecule 05, has an unusually complex character for a single molecule. It combines a cocooning, musky softness with dry, aromatic woodiness, as well as a sweet and resinous note reminiscent of pine. Since its creation by IFF in the late 1970s, it's been the backbone of hit fragrances across the spectrum, with its sensuous versatility enhancing everything from fruity gourmands to boldly spicy orientals to musky skin scents. Indeed, it's almost hard to believe that Molecule 05, with its hypnotic radiance, is made of just a single aromachemical.
