Flor del Sol

I love the Escada Summer Limited editions! My favorite is Agua Del Sol. I saw this one at Marshall's when my brother (who is technically my adopted son) and I went shopping weeks ago. It was sealed and hanging out in the glass case with a few others. It was near closing and the lady with the key took forever to come over. She allowed me to open the plastic and test the scent. He and I both gave it a quick sniff. It was a summer block party complete with hanging fairy lights, laughter, heat pouring off the summer baked city asphalt, and just enough drinks to make everything more fun! It was almost intoxicating! I wanted it but since the store was closing, and I am running out of room for more perfume, I was unsure. Just a few days ago, he ran out to pick up some items at the store and I asked him to go back and check to see if it was still there. He called me and said the manager with the key had left, but that there was one left in the glass case. I was almost crushed, honestly! I had my heart set on him going to rescue it from retail oblivion so I could give it a nice new home! What can I say, I hadn't stopped thinking about that enchanting block party in a bottle! He called again, and I picked out two other cheapies from Ross to soften the blow of missing out on " the now alone, without its friends party in a bottle." "What if someone else got to the store first and bought it," I lamented to myself. When he arrived home, he handed me the purchases I had asked for. I opened a few bags and, inside one, was another bag ... "Oh my, what was that hiding in a Marshall's bag in the bottom of the Ross one?" What a surprise! He laughed as I pulled it out and giggled with glee. "I thought the manager with the key was gone," I stammered happily. "She was, then she came back," he said between happy "I surprised you" peels of laughter. I was so excited, I almost overlooked a very cute detail; the plastic was torn. It was the exact bottle I had asked to sniff and we opened almost a month ago! It had waited for me to bring it home after all :) I love you my new party in a bottle friend, you may just become my new favorite ESCADA! Block party in a bottle!

I bought this blind from Chemist Warehouse because it was only 30$ and in Australia that’s basically free. Over the years of online perfumehood I’ve realised I really do love frooties as much as I love everything else. I’m humbled. It could be 300$. It smells overthetop gorgeous, has a fabulous trajectory, lasts 3-4 hours, as much or more than plenty of the 300$s. There’s something delightfully strange about it. I’m trying to empty blah decants atm. I really hate Chanel Cuir de Russie it smells like toilet bowl to me and yes it’s probably my old nose being over sensitive to civetone. Or whatever it is that smells like that. I reckon I could create the next hit from the combination of skanky old manure leather and bright abstract fruit the same as that combination I sprayed over. It was a pure accident as I was simply trying to drown C d R out. I’m eyeing a decant of TFds Ombré Leather. I’m going to fill it up with F d Sol and let it macerate as I’ve found on the rare occasions that I experiment with layering that is the only way to do it. Anyway another hot summer Ibiza hit from this line and to me it’s the best one yet, even moreso than the watermelon one...

Flor del Sol has quite the unexpected hold on me. It opens with a photorealistic grenadine and tequila, I could smell each of them equally. Intensely boozy with the addition of something foodie-piquant like chilli pepper, this was unusual and captivating. I found the opening addictive. It began to soften, I guess that's the fantasy-note of dahlia, and I loved it still. I couldn't detect sandalwood but the fragrance gradually became so smooth that all of its interesting facets disappeared. I was left with artificiality: precisely gummy bears and watermelon gummies. That's all it amounted to, after such promise?! Thoroughly disappointed, I passed the fragrance on. And here's the interesting thing: now, I can't get it out of my mind. I need to re-purchase it. So, I guess I find Flor del Sol pretty captivating indeed!

I picked up this beauty because I want and crave a GOOD strong cherry scent. Listen, no one has one. BUT this tries, and really the grenadine and the tequila with that sandalwood it's a great attempt. While this is only an EDT it gets off the ground but it doesn't get very far. Maybe 4 hours longevity. But it wears great on clothing. I had a lady actually FOLLOW me and go "you smell amazing, I could smell you all over that isle and WOW" which was a great compliment seeing as I didn't go heavy handed on the spray, and I could barely smell her on me. SO Del Sol is an attention grabber. Very fragrant in warmer temps, but I see this playing in the cold weather. Keep her around in the fall just to try. Very much worth the grab if you find her cheap like I did at TJMAXX.

Truth be told, I have never smelled an unpleasant Escada fragrance. Flor Del Sol is no exception. The opening is a Shirley Temple beverage on steroids. The addition of the Tequilla and the Orange do indeed give this sort of a 'Tequila Sunrise Cocktail scent. It is my understanding that the bloom of a Dahlia flower has no scent. It is the actual stem and leaves that are used which gives a slightly bitter scent that is detectable here. The sandalwood gives it a nice creamy warm finish. Overall, nothing really complex here. It's a happy little scent that stays close to the skin. In terms of blind buying, I would say this would be a safe one if you like fruity floral types of fragrances.

The initial blast is so lovely and fruity. Like sugared strawberry mousse. I think it is common with other summery Escada releases, a trend that started with Sexy Graffiti. It is incredible, the opening. Looking at the notes it feels nothing like it. But maybe grenadine with orange without any bitter tones. Hard to imagine anything better for holiday. But now, in spring it truly works I am yet to wear it in the summer. It is a great surprise, good that I secured a small bottle. Uplifting, invigorating, free time blend. Sweet. 5 hours in and it does not change just has less strength. I feel the ghost of it on my skin next morning. Just a wrist test.

So far this is my favorite Escada! So favorite that I bought two 1oz back up bottles. It just smells so nice! Kinda fresh cucumbery on a first spray. But the dry down is something special. I sprayed some before going to water park. When we got there and went on about our day, I kept getting a whiff of something. At first I could not understand where this amazing smell was coming from, it took me a sec to realize it was Flor del Sol! It in a strange way was reminding my favorite KKW BFF! Very very lightly though! I do not know why it is called Flor/flower. Couple minutes ago I had "Sexy Graffity" delivered, it is flowery. Flor del sol is fresh.

Smells very fruity to me - specifically, like watermelon. This then fades to a soft woody floral, a bit indistinct but really very nice. The key thing I would note is its longevity, which was many hours. I bought a roller-ball (7.4ml) and was surprised to note around 3pm that I could still smell the perfume clearly and quite strongly on my wrist, having applied once around 8am. I often find that fragrances last long on me that others criticise for being fleeting (and vice versa); or the key may be using a roller-ball. Either way, definitely recommended if you tend to enjoy any of the Escada summer releases.

Very Sexy Graffitti, Ibiza Hippie in style. The most iconic Escada's limited editions that started the craze. The limited editions for summer do not differ much in general with the exception of Cherry In the Air. I feel strawberries on top. A bit of grenadine minus its bitterness. It feels heavily fruity-aquatic. Super summery but is great also in the spring. Fruity pulp with heart and soul. Used globally I do not feel it for a long time but on my wrists it stays very well. It stays long on clothes and smells very good on them.

~Swee Orange, Fruity Pomegranate, Delicate Dahlia In typical Escada fashion, this is another sweet and fruity cocktail type of fragrance. Don't be fooled, the boozy notes are nowhere to be found here. Pomegranate dominates the fragrance with a sweet orange/citrus and a beautiful soft floral I absolutely love this one, the notes blend very well! Silage is Moderate Longevity is 3-4 Hours

I really like this for a fun, fruity, yummy scent. Perfect for the summertime running errands, shopping, school, or work. The other day I spritzed this on my shirt & the next day I was tossing it in the hamper when I instantly got a whiff of a beautiful scent & I thought where did that come from? I sniffed my top & it was this perfume! It has great longevity!

So fruity, sweet, floral, and clean. I get the cocktail vibe they were going for, it's definitely what it's giving. The sandalwood note in the dry down is so lovely, it keeps it lasting longer than you'd expect. If you find this at any tj Maxx, Marshall's, Burlington, or Ross, PLEASE GET IT! If you enjoy fruity, cocktail like scents, this is for you!

It smells like cabo san lucas. Boozy, citrusy, floral. I tried it on at ulta 10 days ago & since then I haven't stopped thinking about it. It's not sharp nor powdery. Sweet but not super sweet. Its got a really heady scent note in the opening ( tequila sunrise?) That is delish ! The floral note is is very nice. Very refreshing & fun

I love that it’s meant to smell like a mixed drink and it brought me back to my younger days at the clubs. It’s so sickly sweet but has that alcoholic tartness or edge? To bring it back from being a fragrance for the younger audiences. I’m on my 2nd bottle. I just love this so much for summer and going out with my friends.

To me, this scent smells like the perfect, most magical spring romance. Just imagine taking a walk on a warm evening in late spring, smelling beautiful flowers with the love of your life. That's this scent, baby. Remember the Dahlia garden chapter from Cannery Row? This scent captures it all. Pure bliss. Peace!

This is my first perfume I’ve bought as a young adult, I blind bought this on sale. It slightly smells like Mexican candy de tamarindo or specifically “rellerindos” but the sweetness also reminds me of something from Victoria secret but with more longevity. Perfect for warmer days.

I cant find escadas taj sunset anywhere,but im happy because this smells kind Of similar to my nose it has the same delicious fruit punch smell Dancing on the beach with a glass of tequila or something That is what comes to mind when i smell this delicious scent !

Not so sweet as other Summer Escadas. The composition is fairly simple. I don’t know what dahlia smell like, but this perfume really has something lush about it. It smells like a beautiful flower that just bloomed and has morning dew on it.

i have been searching long and hard for a GOOD tropical scent. this is it. smells like a tropical drink at a resort and is srsly divine if you pair it with a coconut or oceanic body mist. love love love

Lovely fragance, fruity and very sweet, but in a very nice way. I find it very very similar to Dylan Blue, a bit fresher and watery, To me it smells mostly of black currant. I find it adorable.
