Escada Collection

Today i recieved a 50ml Parfum de toilette bottle of "Escada collection" in dark blue velvet with a strass ornament like a star. This is the 2003 edition i have. I am still not sure whether all of them are the same smelling or not, i will be sure when i will try at least another one of "escada collection". Back to fragrance. This is a pure heaven for those who love vanilla scents. I dont ́t see any vanilla listed in here but this is a pure vanilla with honey (at least in my bottle which is as i wrote before dark blue bottle edition). Smells very much like my much beloved and discontinued L ́occitane "Honey and lemon" (without shimmer) but with much more vanilla and honey in it. Simply amazing and very candy-like perfume! P.S. now i have purchased a lilac bottle of 1999 year edition and i can now compare soon how those two smell like. Are they the same or different indeed? The notes for the 2001 edition listed also here on fragrantica seem to be different or just incomplete.. lilac bottle with flower ornament- 1998 edition (i have a leaflet included in box, which says a year) dark blue bottle with flower ornament -2000 edition pink bottle with flower ornament - 2001 edition red bottle with flower ornament - 2002 edition dark blue bottle with strass ornament -2003 edition dark blue bottle with ornamnet like an 2000 edition but more silver in the "leaves" - 2004 edition There was also a special edition i guess for 2002 edition not in velvety bottle, but in shiny glossy bottle with the same ornament (i have it also) sand coloured bottle with 3 blue flowers drawn by hand and blue spots all over the bottle - 1999 (???) year edition

This is really lovely. It's a round, thick, nectaric honey with a slight spark of white flowers, a warm sweetness from the juicy plum and a faint whiff of what I read as licorice. I already like Escada's newer offerings, Taj Sunset for example. I find them fruity, young and addictive. Escada Collection is not that far away from those, but has qualities that the newer ones don't - a warm sweetness that is deep and round instead of piercing or overwhelming, and elegance. Very gourmand but not edible still. This is absolutely suitable for both teenagers and women in their 30s. Botrytis is very similar but with a less intense presence. Dalal is not a dupe but more like Viva la juicy. Escada Collection 2001 which has its own page on here has the exact same scent contrary to the difference in notes.

Today i have recieved "Escada collection" 1999 edition bottle which is lilac with some ornament on it and i finally had a chance to compare it with my 2003 edition bottle and they are not completly the same! While both share that powerfull honey-vanilla note the 1999 edition is more sweet, more honey, more vanilla, and 2003 edition has more prominent tonka bean note and then all that sweet stuff on the background. But i absolutly adore them both and now search for other editions of "Escada collection" to compare them with each others. Hope they will be also fantastic! The lasting power is great on my skin, it ́s been already over 7 hours since i sprayed it and i still can smell it clearly. I only wish it would be more affordable to buy. I ́m in love!!!! It ́s official! :))

Well as I mentioned this was my signature for years. My mother bought it for me, so it holds a special place in my heart. The only reason it's no longer my signature is because it's discontinued. I only wear it on rare and special occasions now because I will run out if I wear it daily. I still have my bottle. I bought Ginestet Botrytis because I refuse to pay $300 for a perfume that is so old it could become rancid at any moment, and I am overjoyed to report that Botrytis smells IDENTICAL. Even the projection and lasting time are identical. I'm so grateful to have found another perfume that can "replace" my Escada. So to anyone who wants to know what Escada Collection smells like and can't afford it, get a sample of Botrytis at LuckyScent.com.

I got mine today and I'm still in shock with this perfume. When I sprayed on my skin, I expected a sweet smell of chocolate but it is much more, was the first chord direction of red fruits! I think it's the smell of plum notes wrapped in caramel, the scent is very warm and pleasant. It is a perfect time to stop and happy that the fragrance produced true gems. I feel ashamed to live in an age in which creations are as "Flowerbomb" paths enshrined and I feel deep sorrow for the people who can ́t know what is truly a beautiful scent. Tobacco Vanille ́s brother. Love! PS: Noooo, it isn ́t like "Botritys" cause it is cold and "Escada Colletion" is hot, very hot!!
