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...

So sad that they discontinued this masterpiece! 🥲 It was very unique like no other ! 💔

Last lasting perfume...smell so sweet and refreshing...sexy bottle too.

Escada is the second release to be named Escada. The first, launched in 1990, appears to still be in production. Is it just me, or is it unnecessarily confusing to produce two perfumes with the same name? here is Egypt i used that they call it Escada Green in the stores ! i tasted it today and i like it but not enough to wear it .. Escada opens with fruit salad on a bed of greens, with a little cucumber garnish on the side... it is foody, but very light and fresh and summery. There is a touch of sweetness, but nothing like the candied fruit of the limited edition fragrances that Escada releases every summer (Rockin Rio, Ibiza Hippie, Island Kiss, etc).the emphasis here is much more on the fresh notes, and the sea breeze accord is pronounced. early dry down is a mixed floral, still very light and fresh, and then it slowly develops into something slightly darker, a lo-cal amber-patchouli dessert perhaps, with hints of vanilla and nectarine. despite the warmer base notes, the aura of freshness remains: the musk is clean, there are no earthy or disturbing elements, and it is not at all heavy or overpowering. Escada is too fresh; perhaps a dash of something disturbing would have been more to my liking. I will say that the lasting power is very good , now on its over 7 hrs on my wrist , its a versatile fragrance with a good sillage , more than perfect for daily use and office .. many women will like it but personally i wont complement a woman wears this scent , its just NICE but not Unique , it need more personality in my opinion ESCADA 2005 ***

I want to be clear about two things right away: 1) I like this perfume quite a bit, and 2) this is not a chypre. At least, I don't experience it as a chypre. It is light green, very slightly green, only somewhat green referring to the color of the liquid in the bottle, and if you compare this tint of green to assertive green colors of the chypres and then extrapolate this comparison to smells, you will get the idea. To me, this is a light floral, perhaps, a floral green, potentially a floral woody musk, but I don't get the musky feeling from it. What do I get? A nice fresh green beginning (yes, I can go for a cucumber there with other slight greens), a warm floral heart smelling like a bouquet of lily of the valley flowers with a couple of rose petals tucked in, and then a fresh woody drydown similar to another nice Escada -- Into the Blue. The lasting power is pretty impressive, I had it on a whole day, reapplied in the evening and it stayed overnight and still smelled great when I took my late shower next day. The bottle is nice, too, a long rather than tall heavy glass bottle with a heavy glass cap. What a joy in the days of plastic caps! Thanks kay_li13 for sending me a sample which impressed me so much, thanks c3c for finding out about a FB that went for a swap, and thanks mahanta for helping me to organize the swap! I'll be using this one a lot, especially in work related situations.

Fresh liberating citrus and teas begin this version of Escada quickly tempered by light musks. This is an Escada I do enjoy. It's fresh, it's an outdoorsy scent, it's crisp. Amber relaxes this fragrance throughout, making Escada soft as cashmere and billowing clouds. Its' patchouli is exceedingly light and stays with the fragrance throughout with unusual citrus and greens mixed in. A very mellow perfume this one is. It sits fairly close to the skin for a fair number of hours. I love the creamy mix of bare florals that lay low with delicious vanilla. Escada is neither sweet nor floral, but just the right mix of amber, musk and patchouli for me when it drys down with its greenery. Its not about where you came from with this perfume, but about where you're going. It keeps you guessing.

This is one of those scents that has to grow on you a little at a time. I first smelled it in the perfume store after it was spritzed on a paper tester. I liked it, and bought it then. Took it home, put it on, and was knocked over by how strong it was on my skin.Very very strong, and spicey, almost a bit masculine. After awhile it mellows a bit to a spicey green oriental type fragrance mingled with bits of citrus and vanilla. You will definitely need to let this one settle before you go out on the town,especially in close quarters, as some people may find it too strong,or offensive. This should be marketed as a scent for men and women IMO.

I didn't smell any of the top notes on first spray (a shame, because I really love peach notes), but rather I got a fresh bloom of jasmine, and then lily-of-the-valley. Each were clearly distinguishable to my nose. On my skin, the dry down smells of green, earthy patchouli, a touch of powdery sweetness from the amber and iris, and trace of vanilla. Escada 2005 is quite pretty and cheerful, very fresh, with a hint of warmth. This perfume would work well as a daytime scent, and it's appropriate for year-round wear; it's not too heavy for summer, and it would bring a burst of summer florals and green freshness to a cold winter day.

I met this perfume in 2005, sprayed it on my wrist and went home. Then the sleeve of my jammer I was wearing that day still had this smell on for couple of more days, so I went to Boots and bought it. I was wearing it for quite sometimes, but only could finish half of it. Then I stopped smoking and all my smelling seances has changed and this perfume smelled different to me since. So I gave it to my mom and she really loved it. I could smell it on her, and it did suit her very much.

This isn't a bad Escada, but lacks some of the fun of recent releases. It tries hard to be a classic fresh floral in the 'Pleasures' vein and it hits the mark in some ways by being unobtrusive, fresh and light but completely lacks personality or originality. Not unpleasant to wear but I'll be dragging out one of their no nonsense cocktail scents when I want Escada, and Estee Lauder when I want to smell clean!

Nothing mind-blowingly extraordinary bout this scent but overall I like the fresh powdery floral fruity scent. It is very mild ib my opinion so I don't think anyone will ever think it's offensive. I think it would be great for everyday daytime wear but I do agree that thia edt is the most mature and expensive-smelling escada perfume I have ever smelled. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

Strong, feminine, perfect for office wear or job interview, but to my surprise the fragrance smell like crushed hyacinth buds! Nothing more, nothing less, just hyacinth :-) It does not bother me as hyacinth reminds me of first sunny spring days and all hyacinth flowers blooming around my fish pond :-) Lovely! No cucumber, no roses, no peonies, no cassia. Just creamy hyacinth :-)

I bought this perfume years ago after only having known Escada for their sweet, fruity we-all-smell-the-same scents - and what a nice surprise. On my skin this smells very sophisticated and expensive. I really like it. Staying power and sillage are moderate - and way better than the other tropical, fruity a dime a dozen fragrances from Escada. :)

Nothing that knocks me off my feet, feel no urges to tell my friends about this but still a nice and fresh perfume. I would really love this scent as a scented candle. At the top I get magnolia, jasmine and a lemony scent. Not sure what it is but I can smell a darker note also, deep but still no need to whip out the scuba gear.

My first escada edp - it does smell classy & expensive to me. I adore the jasmine notes. My husband did not notice any vanilla, which is good cuz he thinks he hates vanilla. It is lovely clean and green, then flowers then....... sweet food-ish - I thought coconut, but guess it's a very elegant vanilla....hmmmm?

First impression: Horribly sweet chemical Second impression: Sweet jasmine & citrus It's nice overall. Probably because I'm a fan of jasmine and the sensibly sweet smell. I think it would be better if the smell is not very strong, but you may say it's longlasting, on the other side.

Light and fresh citrusy fragrance with a little bit candied sweetness. I would say that the lemon note and the cucumber note are the most noticeable notes in this fragrance. Not a bad choice for summer, except the sweetness maybe, but the lemon note smells really cool:)

Escada 2005 is another of my favourite scents that have been discontinued. This was one of the last great Escada scents. The bottle and colour is timeless and absolutely divine! This was pure eye and nose candy! I WISH they would bring this back!!!

I bought this based off of the notes since I love all things cucumber but I can hardsly smell that note on my skin. I will retest but regardless, I predict this will end up on my swap list.

Escada2005/Escada Signature invigorates the soul and energizes the mind - contains a wealth of sparkling bright notes that burst out onto the senses - I absolutely love it :)

This scent is very classy. It appears simplictic upon the initially sniff but it is actually a complex fragrance with intricate notes that harmoniously create class.Staple

At first I liked it,but soon I was disappointed,not only by the longevity,but also the very low silage.It's just a fresh fragrance and nothing more.

Sorry i meant edp.. Hard to type accurately on this phone. And in addition to my previous review, this is reasonably priced too.. Worth it!

Nice, clean, soapy .. Nothing more .. I used it with pleasure and I finished the whole bottle but I doubt if I buy it again.

Escada has something what intrigue me, that's why I like this scent, but only in summer :/

for me its classic and calm - for me its smells kind of like a wood. us emy 2d bottle now.

Love it! It's really fresh and energizing. I recommend it highly.

Surprisingly nice, although it smells like cleaning agent at first. Later the musk comes out. I have two bottles of this.

It's a nice refreshing scent. Clean and lightly green. Heady white and other floral notes are slightly sweet. I did not get any fruits here which was a surprise as Escada's known for its fruitiness. Smelled of air and ozone but the scent itself was not sheer. Unfortunately, my nose did not like these combinations. I had to scrub it off for Escada 2005 is a big fat headache-inducing agent for me. It took 3 scrubs to rid of the smell off my wrist. No problem with staying power here. Give it a try if green aquatic floral scents are your thing. The bottle and color are to die for. Sleeky glass design is heavy with a gorgeous-colored potion inside .. sigh .. shame shame shame ..

I really like most of Escada perfumes, especially the earlier summer editions as they work well with my body chemistry. So I bought this one blind, withouth testing and it really does not work for me, there is something - and I am not going to spray it again to try and analyse what- that I actually find really irritating. So - I have an opened 30ml edp with the box, sprayed twice (worn once) if anyone is interested in buying or swopping for something else..this one is not for me

Smells sophisticated, but it's too strong at first. It makes my nose hurt, if that makes sense... almost gives me a headache every time I put it on. It's a pity, because I really like the way it smells after a couple of hours on my skin. I read people saying it's fresh and light, and I think mine is the opposite... guess the bottle I got was a bad one :/
