Geza Schön is a German master perfumer, born in Kassel and later based in Berlin. A fragrance obsessive from his teens, he trained in the classical industry mould at Haarmann & Reimer (now Symrise) before spending years composing commercial scents for other houses. That commercial grounding later gave weight to his rebellion against it.

In 2006 Schön co-founded the independent house Escentric Molecules in London with creative director Paul White. Its founding gesture, Molecule 01, was built solely around the single aroma-molecule Iso E Super, a soft, skin-amplifying woody material Schön treated as a finished perfume rather than a supporting note. Paired with its counterpart Escentric 01, it became a cult 'anti-fragrance' celebrated for reading as intimate skin rather than an announced scent, and the brand has continued the paired Molecule/Escentric format across later numbered releases.

Beyond his own label, Schön has composed for a range of brands and independents, including Diesel, Ormonde Jayne, French Connection, Boudicca and biehl parfumkunstwerke. He has also worked at the boundary of scent and art, and his experimental output has drawn recognition: an Outstanding Artist Award for Interdisciplinarity in 2016 and, in 2017, the Sadakichi Award for Experimental Work with Scent, shared with Wolfgang Georgsdorf for the Osmodrama / Smeller 2.0 project.
