Absolutely Me

I've been searching for a sample of Absolutely Me for quite a long time because I like Desire Me very much and I think Incredible Me is very good when you search for a sweet pink fragrance (the lasting power in Incredible Me could be better though) - and I have it. Why have I been searching for the sample? Because I saw raspberry among ingredients and I like raspberry in fragrances, still can't afford to buy Hot Couture by Givenchy or get another sample of it ;) Escada isn't a brand you'd expect depth and so it is in Absolutely Me, but I am not searching for depth in Escadas, I like their warmth, sweetness and positive attitude. I don't particularly like Escada's summer fragrances considering them boring and thin but all the three: Desire Me, Incredible Me and Absolutely Me are really good... maybe Absolutely... is the least multi-layered. Absolutely Me is very sweet - close to being cloying but it manages not to be - thick and creamy. I can detect similarity to Paco Rabanne's Ultrared, the same berry with a hint of mint and the sweet notes in the heart (Paco's marshmallows and rose macaroons in Escada). There's only a bit of rose in Escada, much raspberry, sweets and vanilla. Actually it's only a bit "more layered" than season fragrances but it's thicker and with better sillage, so I consider it better than them. Fragrance: 3,8/5 - has the smallest amount of depth of all the three though (Desire Me, Incredible... and Absolutely). Desire Me is the best imo. Sillage: 4,20/5 Lasting power: 4,5/5 Raspberry is a bit similar to Hot Couture edt. Edition: I'm pleasantly surprised - I like wearing it when I'm in raspberry mood and it wears great :) I like the fragrance very much :)

I wore this in high school, but I've repurchased it recently because I still have an empty bottle of it at my parents's house and every time I am there, I have to smell it. I think on some point, I've decided that Escada has too girly and sweet perfumes for me, because I am not 15 anymore, I am a woman now, and this means I have to stop wearing this. How wrong was I. Absolutely me is something special, I think also for Escada. When you don't see this silly bottle, you don't smell girly cupcakes and a 15 years old longing for a kiss in the orchard. The only thing I can smell here is joy. Juicy freshness, something spontaneous, ready to go to the end of the world, but not in a fictional way. When I am wearing it, I could really do anything, it totally inspires me. And I love the name, because I have this thing with sweet perfumes that they kind of make me lonely and automatically longing for someone to be around. But this one, not at all. It is Absolutely me, it is Aquarian, independent and totally free, I feel good in my skin while wearing it. Although I wouldn't even call it sweet, maybe spring-ish, or even better: perfect autumn. The summer is gone, it is getting calm and cold, but I am here, totally alive and ready for anything. A great one.

This is a strange scent for me. Don't get me wrong, I really like it. It's sweet and very powdery - and appropriate for most things. The strange thing is that the sillage is enormous to me, and it smells very different from afar than if you sniff your skin directly. From afar it's very shampoo-like or beauty parlour like as others have described it, which is really pleasant and subdued. Up close it's sweeter, but sort of layered. I get many different smells in one perfume and they compliment each other perfectly. I own tonnes of perfumes and to me this one is unique. I have nothing quite like it, so I'm thinking this could end up a new favourite. Out of the different Escada perfumes I own, this is my favourite. The staying power is above moderate, and reapplication is hardly necessary. :)

I agree with many of the reviews for this on one hand, but my experience is a little different. To me this scent is very weird in the best way. I don't think this is a "typical" girly scent at all, although I think it can be interpreted as one. I get an opening of fruity nail polish remover or hairspray that morphs into sweet neon raspberries with a very slight Hawthorne funk that makes it smell very alive. It's not heavy or super strong, more of an airy scent. This one for me is otherworldly and little avant garde. It makes me think of alien fruits and it inspires creative thinking. I could see it going well with a pastel goth or other colorful and artistic style of dress. A different interpretation than most, but that's what I get from this and I think it's amazing! Very special.

My newest "baby" and I do love it. It brings night in NYC in mind... or in Paris.. or Tokyo...Or London. It doesnt even matter. Its starry, sexy and ready for adventure. Enjoyment. Experience that fulfills your emotional side completely... When a perfume gets me to say things like that I know its something special. Oh and the name is very Leo (absolutely Me) and Im a Leo so we suit perfectly. If Rihanna ́s Disturbia was played on piano it would be perfect song for this perfume. LOVE it!
