Escada 2005

I have a 75ml bottle, I'm a cautious buyer that usually I would think twice before buying a fragrance. Escada is outstanding enough, I eventually bought it after 3 times of tests in half a year. The first impression of Escada is fresh and clean, but if you pay more attention to its sillage, there is more surprise to discover: The head notes are refreshed and pleasant, the touch is a little bit sweet, a little bit sourish, other than the kind of fruity burst. After 10~20 minutes the fruity flashes away, the flowers take place, this is the most beautiful part, the floral combination is soft, clean, and a little bit powdery, it's not offensive but definitely attractive (there are at least 7 different kinds of flowers, as we see in the list). The base is fresh patchouli with musk, still holding a hint of freshness from the flowers. Overall, it's not a simple linear one, it's changeful in a cheerful way. Maybe the only flaw is the lasting, about 5hrs on my skin in a summer day. The Bottle is crafted all by thick glasses, even the cap. The color of the Liquid is pretty too, light lake-green. I like the Poster too, though it's not displayed on this page... I think the model girl and her clothes match this product very well. I'm so happy that finally I have got it! How I would rejoice with it in this summer! I Love it so much, thank you Escada.

I first caught a whiff of this in a magazine, and I was like what was that amazingly so good and clean aquatic mediterranean smell. I was even entranced by the ad. I was like wow, I want that perfume. So I bought it. It is expensive smelling, and so many perfumes smell alike now days. This one truly is one of a kind. I am very picky about perfumes, it is a rarity to stumble upon one that drives me crazy enough to really want to buy it. It is my main signature perfume that I wear daily. I take this big bottle in my purse everywhere I go. It is my baby. I wear it all the time when I go shopping. I actually spritz myself several times throughout the day just to get a refresh of this so good scent. I will walk into a store just having spritzed it in my car, and I NEVER get anyone coughing like they are annoyed by it. And believe me..people are quick to cough or make reactions if they think your perfume stinks lol. I have had a friend ask me what I wear because it smells good too. I feel fresh and clean with it, it gives me confidence. It is a powdery clean musk and dries floral. I love the bottle with the thick glass, I dropped it once and it didnt break. The lovely green blue color liquid reminds me of the sea. This perfume is SPECIAL and one of a kind, A+ in my book, a true timeless classic. Good for all ages.

If diamonds had a smell, I think it'd be closer to this than Armani Diamonds [Well, the summer version at least]. The first time I tried this, I was going through a phase where I preferred stronger, skankier fragrances and thought that I needed a light one for the summer but the idea of most summer fragrances bored me as they didn't seem to have much personality or depth going for them. This is a light, fresh and almost fruity cucumber-melon-blackcurrant infusion with something a little spicier hidden underneath and a very slightly woody, fruity, sweet base. It's clean and fresh but not too soapy (Not over-keen on soap, I don't think), light but with a bit of depth and is probably the least potentially offensive scent I've ever tried. I hope you can still get it - I've not seen it in department stores :/

It saddens me that I will soon be moving this fragrance from the "I Have" to the "I Want It" category in my profile. To say I love this would be a gross understatement. I live for this fragrance. It is literally me in a bottle. I am so so sad they discontinued this and am on the hunt for a dupe. I picked up my last bottle almost 4 years ago at TJ Maxx and have been using it sparingly but all good things must come to an end. This scent is light but very intense. You will smell the cucumber but it's paired with sweet florals and grass. Though this may be more of a Summer scent I wear it all year around since I am in San Diego. The closest similar scent but it still doesn't hold a candle is "Believe" by Brittney Spears.

I love this scent. I think, every scent and odour makes an emotive reaction in people. (The good old limbic system:)...) This perfume reminds me of my favorit neighbour lady, who was my "laureate grandma", too. In our country there was a socialist regime for several years, and there were no "capitalist products". But this lady had always a little blue or green Fa-soap in her bathroom...and I liked it so much. Maybe my nose dumps a lie on me but I feel those scents again, when I take a smell at Escada Signature:). However I don't like fruity-sweet Escada line. This "green-line" makes me feel good and nostalgic. It's long-lasting on my skin and the bottle is very nice, simply-elegant too.
