Escada S

OMG, this scent is addictive! :) Love, love, love! It feels breezy, feminine, soft and elegant. Can't get my nose off my wrist (and eyes off the bottle). :) I'm probably giving a poor review in terms of commenting each and every component about this perfume - sorry! - but I'd say the scent opens nicely, develops over time, keeps you interested with its layers... wrapping itself off and yourself up. :) Addictive! Won't fade fast. It has several .. uhm... "facets", yet you woulnd't loose the main theme - it's still there, alluring, tempting and making you no less than love it. Bravo! PS. Now that I've had it for more than 6 months it's pretty clear that the scent also differs depending on the season - perfect for winter (feels comforting and excellent), but a bit too much for summer (somewhat smokey or strange or similar to paraffin). Think the add of tearing the wallpaper describes the nature of this perfume best - metamorphosis, swing, change, happiness are the words that pop up. If you know what I mean. ;) Soft, sexy, sophisticated, for a sweet personality.

I really like this. It ́s verging on gourmand to me, but not in that modern super sweet way- it ́s just very yummy in an edible, yet still floral way. A little like sugared rose petals with depth. It ́s soft, round, semi sweet, but it still has that tartness that I adore. It ́s slight, but it ́s there. This does remind me of one of my all time favourites, Annick Goutal ́s Quel Amour, it is quite different, yes, but it is in the same vein- rosy, fruity, fun, yet stylish. SO my type of scent! I adore plum like this, when it ́s still light and sweet and the little amount of lily of the valley may be what is giving it the freshness, even though this is more of a toned down gourmand style perfume. So it ́s not traditionally fresh, it ́s "round", but fun and bright all the same! It ́s paradoxical with the slightly earthy mahogany/hazelnut. It is definitely a rose perfume, but it has a lot of other fun stuff going on. It ́s like a rosy candy glaze, to me, but it ́s not caramelly or vanilla-ish, which I am so happy about. I think the quality is very good.

My signature! A few years ago for the first time I smelled Escada S. At the moment when felt this fragrance, I knew this is the perfect scent. That's exactly how I want to smell! In this period of my life I preferred straight fruity perfumes and in this was felt strongly rose, so although my initial love forgot about this perfume. Relatively soon again I was able to smell it and this time I could not resist and bought it. I can not compare it with any other perfume, perhaps because of its unique combination of pimento, nuts, fruits and rose. Its scent is soft, but leaves a nice trail for a few hours. Ideal for signature scent for several reasons: Uniqueness, suitable for any situation and time of the year and is not very common and you will not find many women who wear it. This is a luxurious fragrance that can be worn anywhere and anytime! Just perfect! This is a perfume that will always remain for me the epitome of cleanliness, luxury and good balance. In it I find everything I like in a fragrance.

Oh, it is so sexy and feminine! I just feel like I'm in heaven! The hazelnut note can be sensed form the very first spray and with time it just becomes a bit stronger :-) To me it is not really fruity, it is a floral one I could put next to my another floral favourite - Miracle :-) S by Escada is somewhat a bit bittery, there is very little sweetness here. I wish plum and pink pepper were more noticable! The bottle very much reflects its content. S is very feminine, for a great formal evening, company meeting - S is a smell of a very confident, self-aware, sexy, but at the same time a mysterious woman. Well worth having in your collection if you're into crisp and distinct floral perfumes. I am so wearing it tonight - I have a date with my husband and for some reason I am sure he will like it! :-) I love perfumes with a head turning impact and S seems to be the one! P.S. The following day I took my clothes to wash and the smell of S still lingers. That is what you call a good lasting power :-)

This is a beautiful floral fragrance with a hint of powder, which I highly recommend. I like versatile fragrances which are completely inoffensive hence, are suitable for any occasion and this clean floral bouquet that stays close to the skin suits my preference. One must come close to you, hug you or kiss you on the cheek to feel pleasantly taken aback by how clean and flowery-fresh you smell. This is always a nice way to surprise people. Thankfully, the gourmand-syrupy accord is so subtle. I must confess I am ever so tired of the gourmand scents that are flooding the perfume market lately. I want to smell like an elegant woman not like an elegant patisserie... “Escada S” could be described as a safe choice that some may consider boring or uninspiring. Even if this may be the case, it is still a very chic choice. The bottle is also very beautiful. I believe that it is a lovely fragrance for yourself or to offer as a gift, either way it will not disappoint. Enjoy the perfume quest! Josephine

I live in a tropical climate, so am always on the hunt for summer fumes at bargain prices. Picked this up at Marshall's for $15.00. First spritz smells light and fruity to me, followed shortly after by rose- not a synthetic rose, either. Doesn't last too long on my skin, but even at the end of my day I still get whiffs of faint fruit and a slightly peppery rose. In high heat and humidity it smells light and summery. Great buy for the price.

s is my favourite perfume. I don't know why but I can't do without this perfume.It opens with a sharp blackcurrant and soft rose and when it drys down it smells like nut and very soft.It has a really good staying power but perfume itself doesn't smeel much at all. S is kinda very sophisticated fragrance

Love at first sniff! I've just get it by post... a blind buy in the Internet and I am so surprised with it. So sweet, so feminine... not an extraordinary fragrance, but I can not say it is similar to any other one I have in my extensive shelf... I will update this review when I had tried it longer...

This one is the most awesome fragrance from Escada - warm, a bit spicy, with vivid sexy character, but still refreshing and comforting in its overall impression... its not that sort of sexy sticky dirty fragrances but sophisticated and expensive one

I love this! i received this as a git maybe 4 years ago and i love it very much. Is very light, perfect for a day time perfume,easy to wear, for me is a clean floral but also with a stonge smell in the end of the perfume. *: )

Escada S is a parfume I just use for special occasions because its powerful and its a signature scent, everytime I feel it in the air I know its Scada S immediately! I just love Escada S

If someone in Europe is selling this, please contact me. It used to be one of my favorite perfumes and I now just have an empty bottle as a souvenir. There's nothing quite like it ❤️

I had this, given to me by the love of my life for my birthday in 2013.I used it carelessly and now I cherish every spray I wasted. Now I want another one

Last year I purchased a 30mil bottle of escada S,it was a blindbuy because I was very ciriuos to try what I imagined to be a gourmand,nutty rose and it's not a widely available perfume,some perfume shop's SA claiming that it's discontinued When first tried it,I was somehow dissapointed.well I liked it.there was nothing to dislike, it was a sweet and lovely fruity rose but I didn't find it as exciting as I thought.though it's sweet and has a delicious undertone,it's not a foody gourmand which I was looking forward to.I put it in a drawer and almost forgot about it Recently I took it out because a relative wanted to test it.she said that there's too much alcohol when first sprayed.also I felt that it's juice has a dark shade while I remember it to be colorless when first saw it.the fact that my bottle is made in 2007 made me think that it's on the verge of turning so I put it infront of mirror to force myself use it regurarly before it goes bad It's very difficult for me to be loyal to a single perfume.usually I change my perfume twice in a day so wearing something that I don't love day after day seemed to be very boring,fortunately day by day I'm liking it more and it's not a boring one unlike what it seemed in first impression It opens as a sweet,slightly juicy,slightly spicy fruityrosey scent.I can pickup rose,plum and blackcurrent,it's sweet but not sticky or jammy.as time passes it's fruity sweetness calms down and almond blossom starts blooming.there's also slightest hint of lily of the valley.what stays on me is a soft powdery floral,mostly rose and almond blossom with a hint of sweet fruity undertone rounded by creamy woods.it's so soft that I can't pickup specific woody notes.in it's drydown it smells almost like a body lotion.this powdery,creamy floral feels very subtle and smooth.clean and sensual and not overwhelmingly sweet or rosey at all Unfortunately I don't find it a headturner,it's a skinscent on me but however I never recieved a complement on it,I really enjoy it.it's gentle and intimate and different from some modern childish fruityflorals. Fortunately I don't see any change in it's scent so I don't think it's aging as fast as I thought and there's no need to force myself to wear it everyday but now that I rediscovered it,I'm going to use it more often.it's a very pleasant one speacially if you like almond blossom and rose or if you're looking for an soft and inoffensive scent which is youthful and sensual at the same time.longevity is much better than it's sillage and I like it's bottle.I would like it ten times more if it had some sillage and was stronger,as it is,it's a lovely experience,now I'm happy to have this cute,little bottle but I won't repurchase P.s: I started to like it when I find out that I have to spray it twice more than I usually do.

I keep a note pad close by now so I can jot down my responses to my fragrances, if I have one, and with S I did so for the first time. So you could say I will be reporting from my notes. S, a Colder WEATHER fragrance. We are currently experiencing an unseasonal mild summer 2013 / 2014 here in Melbourne, with predictions for a late Indian summer, not unusual for Melbourne though. The BOM predicts the heat to arrive in late Jan or early Feb. Escada S: I am trying this for the second time now. I am also still learning very slowly to identify perfume notes. Personally finding it very difficult to separate the individual ingredients in fragrances, even though I have been an avid gardener in the past with interests in cottages blooms, and a wealth of knowledge respectively pertaining to blooms. Escada S smells creamy, Black Russian creamy upon first spray (wrists) and is quite enveloping. As it's a cold New Years Day 2014 and an opportunity to acquaint myself with my fragrance wardrobe. Today is a good day to start. I detect a hint of chocolate? but that could be my pores right now. Perhaps the humidity toady is exacerbating this fragrance. The sillage seems amazing. The fragrance at first is strong, even though it did not seem so when I tested it at the shop counter before I purchased it. The inexpensive price was an influential factor in my choice of purchase. 20 Aus Dollaroozies. (Cheap Skate) It is sweet and sophisticated almost comforting as it dries down. The scent hugs me closely. The Almond blossom seems predominant and after an hour or so later the fragrance softens and becomes less obvious, though personally it still smells the same as an hour earlier. This I presume is linear? At 4 hours or so later the fragrance had gone, completely faded. Average longevity for an EDP. I would wear this day or night, no preference, as this is a good, perhaps somewhat generic fragrance, that does not speak unique, but of quiet sweetness. However I have not, tried Champs Elysee, so I cannot compare, nor am I familiar with Escada fragrances personally. We don't have a lot of purchase options in stores here. So I'm not wanting to offend anyone either. Overall. I like this fragrance. Its easy to wear and is comforting on a mild day. Cheers T.

if beauty would smell, it would smell like this! Escada S is indeed a gorgeous scent. it has this soft velvety wearing sensation of some Dior scents. very feminine and adorable! oh yeah i think this is a headturner... it's not loud but it lingers very well and it waves around you and for shure you will be remarked in a very good way: sexy, youthful and elegant. how can i describe this scent ! it s not that easy because IT'S VERY WELL BLENDET AND A COMPLEX ONE... the rose of the top is a fully bloomed velvety smell, like put the nose on it, the black berry/plum accord i sweet and intoxicating. there is a nutty hint in the background, very special one, creamy almondblossom intensifies this accord while very soft pepperaccord spices up the whole story a little bit. after a while the scent developps a new accord of pure rose soap, very clean and lovely paired with delicate powdery sweet heliotrope and lily of the valley. downwards the base the nutty aroma in the background becomes less spicy and mingels well with exotic woody accord and a bit of musc, the right amount to be sensual and sexy. i m wondering why this scent isn t mutch more popular, it's a crowd pleaser for shure! sillage close to the skin but veryvery good and staying power average... maybe has to be reapplied several times a day to the night to have more intensity on your skin. but this wouldn t bother me because the scent is very cheerful and not sharp or overpowering on the top. it's something to treat yourself as often as possible. :P bottle stunning!

I feel weird about this one. It is definitely nice. I own the second bottle since high school, when I actually used it a lot. But it is still there on the shelf among other perfumes and I cannot say that it is only a souvenir. I feel like I could still use it, although it is sweet and kind of girly. And I do use it sometimes. It is sweet in a good way, not too much, it is brave and totally relaxed in its sweetness, you cannot argue with it. And it lasts for quite awhile, I have to give it to Escada here, even though their perfumes are mostly sweet and light, I am impressed with their longevity and unobtrusive sillage. The scent is nice, it's cozy, it wants to be flirty and you cannot say it is not charming. You surely cannot not notice it and you cannot say it is bad. So, I think it is kind of safe. Definitely too safe for me right now, but I cannot say that I don't like it. It is this girl who you find cute and charming, but something is missing here. But somehow, you keep coming back to her. The one that confuses you, but you know you will never marry her. It is a Libra kind of perfume.

i did a review some time ago, today i used escada s again after a while. i really have to write again how lovely it smells. escada s is a very mild perfume with a almond/nutty hint which one makes this really special. it is really youthful elegant, delicate and soft, yet creamy and woody. it seems to be very well balanced because i can't really name outstanding notes - just the almond/nutty sensation and the creamy woods, some powdery delicate florals and a beautiful blooming velvet dark pink rose aroma inbetween. just a pitty on my skin at least the staying power is rather poor :( the aroma is beautiful and it is not naughty at all but neither innocent! ;) bottle a stunner ! still love it!

This has the same "tone" as magnetism but very soft and in the background, not nearly as sweet or as strong. The rose is a main note but it's not overpowering. It reminds me of a very light soft rose/floral, rather than fruity, version of Magnetism. Lasting power is fair, around 4 hours for me. Update ~ This one is growing on me. I wore it New Years Eve after digging through my collection trying to find "just the right thing" and it was the winner. Don't expect the guys to go gaga for it though. This is one is pretty much for the girls. p.s. to "guest", you can find it on ebay :)

I would say it's fruity-floral-oriental. The opening is very well executed. The plum, the rose, and the black currant blend together very smoothly. After a while, apart from the above mentioned, you can sense some flowers with a hint of spice. The almond blossom and the hazelnut are also noticeable and add soft sweetness to the mixture. All in all, it's soft, elegant and a little powdery. I'm not head over heels about this fragrance, but it's good for every day. **
