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.

The truth is that I have spent so much money on escada that I have lost count of it. Thay all disappoint me soon, as they are too vanilla, too floral-fruity or the base doesn't match the rest of the perfume, as most of the lovely reviewers have already mentioned. THIS however did the trick! I bought it on sale and didn't expect much but I found that the early freshness gave its place to a creamier base and lasted many hours. It is not a magical perfume, but as I am EASILY bored , this is the one, I fall back on when I need a decent office perfume. It's not magical, but you'll get a whole bunch of compliments and not a single hint of migraine!

This was such a shy masterpiece. Very unique combination. Such well blended as nothing bursts out screaming in your face. Cool and clear but not gin tonic alcoholic sea or citrus style. Clean but not powdery or cotton clean style. There are edible notes, yes but the whole composition does not give you the feel of anything gourmand. I can not even describe it well as i have not come across with a resemblence before. I imagine it is the signature of an elegant, tiny lady without the age factor. I think it was the only one with a soul in the entire escada collection. Swayed away by the teenage pleaser tropical stuff. Such a waste !!

I bought this perfume online based on reviews and really liked it from the first whiff. The top note is fresh and citrusy and makes me think this is the ideal spring/summer scent. The middle note is floral and smells wonderful, but I still think there is some 'green' in there. Somehow, I'm reminded slightly of Envy by Gucci. As other reviewers have said, it does smell expensive. IMO,Escada tend to have those light fun/fruity scents, ones I'd prefer in a showergel/bodylotion( sorry!) So, I'm excited about this one. It is quite classy. It stays pretty long on my skin and the bottle is georgeous. Thumbs up for this one!!

I love this scent to the moon and back! My old friend worked at Sephora and she bought it for me for Christmas. Almost 10 years later, I still have this scent in my wardrobe and still love it the same, if not more. What's even better is that my boyfriend loves it, yay! I switch around what I wear often but I think this will always be my number one. Now to the fragrance... it is a lovely, fresh and crisp floral/green scent. It might be an acquired taste but if you give the dry down a chance, you won't be disappointed. It is sadly discontinued so snag one on eBay... thankfully i have a 75ml, a mini and two 30mls!

I bought a bottle over the internet without having sniffed it. I heard great things about it and it sounded like a perfume I'd like to have, so I took a chance. It smells very aquatic at first but after about 15 minutes it starts to smell clean and fresh and soft and classy, very very nice indeed. It's kinda different too, I can't really compare it to any other perfume that I know. That's a good thing though, there's too many perfumes out there already that resemble another. I very much recommend this one, it's just lovely and it's staying power is excellent. Oh, and a great looking bottle too IMO.

Just received a bottle for a reasonable price (brand new, 50 ml for less than 50€) and it didn’t change a thing from the 30 ml bottle I dried out when it was released. It’s “woodier” than I remembered, as I had in mind the freshness. This “woody” is in quotes because it’s not a resinous wood or wood at all, I believe that I feel like this because the fragrance has a great staying power and projection, still remaining fresh. Mindblowing really. I rebought it now because I remember using it up till the last drop and loving it! Pitty it was discontinued long ago, it is still modern and unique.

I have been purchasing this perfume for over 6 years now. its always one of the basics that I have to own. It always gives me the same feeling when i spray Vivara pucci, but vivara is a bit sweeter. This to me smells so clean it reminds me of shampoo. its like you just walked out of shower. its incredible honestly. its alot of cucumber and jasmine and lillies, but i def. dont get any vanilla. and as one of the reviwrs mentioned it def. has smoething aquatic in it.

This is my favorite from escada! Sadly very hard to come by these days. But it is my go-to spring scent at the moment. It is a perfectly balanced everyday perfume, esspecially when the first rays of sunshine are shyly coming out again bringing light and warmth after a long cold season. The floral sweetnes isn't overwhelming, and fresh citrusy notes aren't too sharp, it's just overall a very friendly feminine and light scent.

Escada has stopped making this gem just to make the same perfume with different names each season over and over again This used to be my signature scent for quite a time. Fresh floral chypre clean and cool as a spring breeze. Perfect sillage. I have not found anything resembling it but still searching.

WHY YOU DO DIS, ESCADA....WHY? I have about 5ml left of this gorgeous discontinued juice which I take a sniff of every now and then to get my thrills. Escada stop with discontinuing your amazing fragrances...and quit pumping out the hundred and one tropical watery juices..STAAAAHHHP

Oh, this was such a lovely, aquatic, fresh beauty. The best Escada, followed by Moon sparkle. Why did they discontinue this? I would love to have this as a signature office / beach scent, still. If anyone knows of a dupe, please let me know!

Finally maneged to get my hands on this one, the best and most unique one from escada imo. I Used her a lot back in the days. So when I sniff her it takes me back in time to being a carefree teenager. Wonderfull scent and quite unique

I just discovered this in a very old perfume store and I cant be happier. It is not a typicsl summer scent. It is fresh yet sweet. It is not sickly sweet. It is perfect for office wear any time of the year.

i used to wear it a few years ago and loved it! now i can't find it anymore...is it discontinued? does anyone know where to get it??

In my opinion it is one of the best Escada perfume.... I love them...I know men love them as well...
