Desire Me

I really don't understand the negative reviews for this fragrance. Mind you - this scent is not overly unique or groundbreaking, but it is girly and sweet. There is a note in the scent that smells kind of like basil if I press my nose to my skin, but it does not come off in the sillage. Desire Me is a soft and creamy custard, feminine and sweet. There is a plastic-candy aspect to the sweetness, but it is inoffensive and only noticeable for the first few minutes. The chocolate is there, but not in a strong dark chocolate way...more of like a milk chocolate. There is almost a smell of makeup in Desire Me...like a MAC lipstick. It does not radiate very far, it sits very close to the skin. The bottle is cute and I appreciate how easy it is to hold. The sillage is the crown jewel of this scent; for some odd reason the scent on the skin does not reflect the sillage of Desire Me in any form. It actually smells kind of rancid on the skin in the first 10 minutes of wear, but from a distance it radiates a very yummy coffee dessert with a plastic candy twist. Sounds weird, and it is... But it's a really cute scent, trust me. I am very picky when it comes to fragrance. Once Desire Me settles into the warmth of the skin after about 10 minutes, this is where the scent shines. The cream, the coffee, the peony, orchid and custard create an absolutely yummy scent that is addicting. It's a very soft gourmand, a welcomed change to my collection of heavy orientals and dark gourmands. Don't be scared off by the first spray or the first few minutes of Desire Me, it's worth the wait. Edit: after wearing this fragrance for a couple of days I can say that this is a win for me. As mentioned before, you will have to wait for the scent to dry down as the initial spritz can be overwhelming, but once it dries down it's basically what I thought Britney Spears' Private Show was going to smell like - candy sweet, yummy caffeine and cream notes, shaved chocolate and a slight pink floral pop. It smells so good! Think of sitting in a coffee shop, drinking a macchiato and eating tiramisu, there's a vase of flowers on the table...peonies, orchids, honeysuckle and some green branches. Infront of you sits a charming bowl of tutti frutti sweets. It's super cute, creamy, feminine and powdery.

Every girl should have a sweet and cozy 'rainy day' scent, well this is mine. Desire me is vanilla cake, sweet citrus notes and fresh flowers, sweet and sparkling at first with a dry-down that gets progressively creamier, warmer and 'malty' (probably the chocolate/coffee note causing this), notes of fresh fruits and flowers continue to linger and mingle with the other notes until the end. I like it alot, because I can wear this one without it wearing me, and it does smell quite delicious without being sticky, syrupy, or overly foody...so this will be great for any age and any season (except for the hot summer days). It wears close to the skin but the lasting power is surprisingly good (~ 5hrs on dry skin). Now the con: Let's see, I love the scent, the bottle is cute, the only thing I don't like about it is the name, how embarrassing, luckily no one has ever stopped me to ask the name of the scent I'm wearing. I really do not find it sexy like the advertisement (or its name) would imply! It really isn't the sort of scent that'll turn heads or get you compliments (unless you drown in it probably), it's just lovely, safe, yummy and comforting. I can also tell you that I've tried Incredible Me and Absolutely Me as well, and Desire Me is the best out of the trio in terms of quality, composition and longevity.

I am in looove with this fragrance! It's so warm, chocolatey yummy and inviting, PERFECT for those cold fall and winter days.The first time I saw the ad for this and read the notes, I was 85% sure I would like it.However, I was wrong, like said, I absolutely LOVE it.The bottle is very pretty and I love the color scheme. The scent is eatable and very "desirable", I have to sniff my wrist constantly. When I think of Desire Me, I see myself sitting by the fire on a cold day snuggled up in a cozy armchair sipping hot chocolate. But I do have to agree with vertigo, as much as I love this, it is missing some little thing and I can't quite place what it is...

I don't usually like Escada, and I don't usually like peony. Something about this one though, keeps calling me back for more! I've been on a gourmand kick lately and I would call Desire Me a "light floral gourmand". I picture a fluffy layer cake with vanilla custard between the layers and frosted with a very light sweet citrusy cream. Pink peonies decorate the top and all of those scents combine to just make me inhale and sigh!! I don't smell any coffee or chocolate, maybe hints wayyyyyy in the background. Stays pretty linear on me, & just fades. I find it very comforting and very work appropriate (I work around food).

My perfume: Escada Desire Me EDP 75ml -It smells really sensual, feminine -Won't make the wearer or others get nauseous of it, trust me ^^ -Can definitely sense the chocolate and coffee in it -Citrusy, chocolatey -Worth buying! ♥♥♥ ♦Suits: Late teenagers, young woman ♦Best worn: Daily, special occasions -Not very long lasting, 2-3 hours max -After that, only a faint smell of it left -The bubbles are easily gone (when the bottle is shaken) = Not long lasting -_- -I still SUPER ♥ this!
