Escada Sentiment

My mum had a bottle of this in the early 2000s and I used to pinch it when I got older! She never wore it much and I very much enjoyed it, I love iris/violet powdery scents and this is stunning and nostalgic for me. I still have that old bottle and I cherish it, it's still half full and I love wearing it. In terms of the scent itself, it's got a fruity opening, it smells clean and fresh, a little bit shampoo-ey and the dry down is powdery iris/violet, it's sweet and soft. It lasts a good 6 hours on skin and it's very long lasting on my clothes. It does remind me of Guerlain Insolence (which I wore around the same time when it came out in 2006 ish). This is much more soft and polite though! I find this has a certain nostalgia to it for me. Despite being about 14/15 when I would have worn this in the mid 2000s (I'm born in 92), it feels very youthful to a more simple time in my childhood. It reminds me of...the soft, smooth and lightly scented plastic of a my little pony...Barbie dolls...dusty parma violet sweeties eaten out of a white paper bag on the way home from school... Lilac popping bath pearls...the body shop dewberry...lying on my bed and reading teen magazines like Mizz, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Girl Talk...

There are so many people looking for nostalgia on Fragrantica, myself included. If you grew up in the 80's or early 90's, THIS is your baby. Rather than describe notes, I'll say: it's the roller rink with polished floors and spinning lights during couples skates. It's when Hallmark had a Sanrio display at the mall full of scented erasers and stationary. It's perfume pretty Barbie, Jem and the Holograms, She-Ra dolls, Charmkins and Lisa Frank Binders, It's Kissing potion with the roller, teen spirit deodorant and Aussie Sprunch Spray. It's listening to Debbie Gibson and Tiffany on a pastel colored boom box. It's sneaking out of the house and having your first kiss under fireworks in a summer night sky. All these things and more. I have been looking for nostalgia scents that reminded me of youth since time out of mind and none has done it better than this one. Shot to the heart ;) I highly recommend it and hate that it's discontinued! Get it before the prices are insane. This is the one.

I'm not a big fan of fruity florals, but this scent has a special sentimental value for me - just like its name says! It was the first perfume that I received from my then-boyfriend-now-husband and, despite the cheesy packaging (a pink heart-shaped bottle!), it is a quality scent, much better than your typical candy-floss Escada. The yummy blackcurrants and white flowers are tempered with refreshing citruses, so it is great for everyday use. Unfortunately, this has been discontinued, but I still find it occassionally on eBay - actually, only yesterday I received a brand new bottle and I was reminded how much I enjoy this Sentiment.

I bought this in Paris when it first came out. I wanted a scent to remember Paris with. I had just gotten engaged to my husband, was head over heels for him, and I think this scent wraps the romance of Paris and new love up perfectly. It's sweet, not overpowering, delicate, really. Perfect for every day. There's not much depth, but perfect for a newbie to perfumes, or someone who wants something light and romantic. I wish I could find another bottle that was reasonably priced as I lost my bottle a few years ago in a house fire. It brings back such warm, sweet, youthful memories

Just got mine in the mail today. I like it, very close to love it. It feels prefect for spring. I don’t think it’s childish. I wear perfume for myself anyway, and have a nice selection of different vibes. This will fill in a gap nicely. It sweet, gentle, rainy moist, relaxing, uplifting, and surprising. For me it says magnolia and hyacinth and very little fruit. I don’t smell the powder, but I wish I did. Definitely feels like daywear. This perfume announces for me, I am here but I am in own world. Don't move too fast, or I will flit off like a butterfly. I am busy. 🦋

A little heads up. I ordered a 75ml bottle from ebay a few years ago. I got it and in my nose and remembering, it smell exactly the same as my old bottles. So if it is a copy (most likely..?), it is absolutely fine with me, because I finally got my favorite scent back! I love it so much, and treasure it alot! I also see it is in store in fragrancex now. I have never bought from that site before, as I live abroad, but i see it mentioned all over here so maybe its an ok site? I dont know, just wanted to say my experience with the ebay buy, I am thrilled!

Este perfume lo compre a ciegas solo porque quería un perfume que oliera a barbie. El resultado fue sorprendente, no estoy familiarizada con los perfumes florales pero este se paso! es riquisimoooo! Huele a barbie, romántico, juvenil, fresco, dulce y perdura por horas!! No es el típico olor a flores de señora, definitivamente se gano un 10. La bolleta es hermosa tambien, lejos uno de mis favoritos :D lástima que esté descontinuado.

I still have a bit left in an original bottle from the 90s- the fragrance has definitely morphed over the years, but when I smell it I am instantly brought back to my first memories of it as a child! The first fragrance I fell in love with, before I knew anything about perfumes. I want to order a new bottle, but I’m afraid of the disappointment I may feel if the formula has been changed drastically.

This was my "one and only" for many years, until it suddenly got discontinued, and I never found a favourite again. I still have problems buying perfumes because they can not match this one! I have now ordered a bottle on ebay, hoping it is genuine and in OK condition. It is still my favourite, and I have a few drops in an old bottle I still smell at now and then :)

Absolutely love this fragrance. It's a beautiful floral with a light, fruity air to it. The amber and sandalwood in the finish kept it from floating away into the realm of the obnoxious. All in all, it's a gorgeous, but not unforgettable fragrance. I would wear it again if it didn't remind me of my exfiance so much. It's definitely worth a try.

It kind of smells like stronger and more complex verson of Stella McCartney Pop? That powdery sweetness really reminds me of Pop. This one has a warm feel to it but it’s not a warm fragrance and Pop doesn’t I find this slightly bitter and green in the opening but it settles quickly don’t let that turn you off of it it deserves a chance

Reminds me of Escada S, but is a bit flowery. It is typical pink fragrance. Fresh, fruity floral, powdery and pleasant. It's likable perfume and people around me like it. Recommended for romantic and delicate ladies, no matter their age. Great lasting power! There is something that reminds me of my childhood in the 80s and early 90s.

The two very prominent notes in this are the Iris and Blackcurrants, it's fruity and floral in equal measures, quite heavy, but definitely a quality blend. The powdery vanilla is there in part, but is masked by the louder floral notes, longevity is around 5 hours.

I remember back in 2000 when I first smelled sentiment thanks to a Vogue sample. Love at first "sight"! This scent feels like a promenade through a candy store while holding a bouquet of delicate flowers. My one and only till it was discontinued

The vintage edition I own has great lasting power. A sweet and sparkling melange of flowers, fruits, amber and woods. Wonderful scent, which I didn't stop enjoying for the past 20 something years, due to my stash of backup bottles ;)

I close my eyes, smell this perfume and all I can see is romance everywhere. Romantic fragrance for romantic girls. The staying power is very good and it ́s one of the most beautiful bottles ever! The heart shaped top is cutie!

Pure nostalgia. I wore this perfume in high school. I will own a bottle of this for forever. I don’t wear it often, but it’s the best white floral out there in my opinion. I love this fragrance.

The best perfume in the whole world, I think, I love this perfume so very much, I have worn it for many years now, and always want more, and more!

This is light and just gorgeous not too strong for me i really enjoy it i had some now i want some sentiment again! sooooo good
