Ibiza Hippie

I have a bottle of this in my collection now. It was a blind buy, as I was a child when this perfume was originally released. I can't believe the scent held up for over a decade! I've read stories where people bought bottles that smelled purely of alcohol. Don't get me wrong--this hasn't aged like a Chanel or a Guerlain would. My heart sank when I first sprayed, as the top notes have almost vanished completely. After giving it a few minutes to settle, I smelled a tart body spray type scent. This smells like how Capri Sun tastes, which made it nostalgic for me in a way I wasn't expecting. I did have a hankering for something that smells like Capri Sun about a year ago, and this fits the bill. I want to say it smells like Pacific Cooler? It's tart and not very sweet, like an underripe strawberry. I definitely get cranberry. The lychee has quieted to a whisper. I'm going to enjoy wearing this in the heat, and will treasure my bottle while it lasts. Hopefully I finish it before the rest of the scent fades!

When this was new, I was 15 and very fond of Escada summer editions, but I couldn't afford buying a lot of perfume so I never had Ibiza Hippie. I found it on ebay 15 years later for 10 €, so I had to get it. Luckily my bottle still smells good after I sprayed out the remains of old fragrance in the plastic tube and let it air. There is a bit of an alcohol smell in the first minute, but I can live with it, the rest is totally fine. Compared to most other Escada summer fragrances, especially the more modern ones, Ibiza Hippie is not as sweet. It's not a tropical fruit cocktail, but a tart and only slighly sweet red berry scent with a fresh out of the shower vibe. Cranberry is the strongest note to my nose. There is a very, very light little hint of warm spiciness in this, but not a lot. I wouldn't say that this is a must-have or a masterpiece, but it's so wonderfully nostalic to me and very refreshing for summertime. I also love the old heart-shaped flacon.

This has got to be the best Escada LE perfumes. Years ago, I own the 50ml bottle and gotten a 100ml a week after! It has a lovely blackcurrant and litchi opening that settles down to a sweet and addictive cranberry, amber, sandalwood with a musky undertone that makes it smells sexy! I wonder why they re-released Rockin' Rio, Island Kiss and Pacific Paradise but not this! I only own Ibiza Hippie, Island Kiss and decided not to own anymore. Dupe: I did found a dupe for this which is the Morgan Love De Toi It is not an exact dupe but the sandalwood, cherries, musk and some other goodies makes it smells alike. I'm still waiting for Escada to re-released this one! All the girls will go Hippie! ;)

I loved it when I was 14...I wished to get this one and had it only sprayed on the jean tag you got with it but never had the bottle.I had that tag with me all the time until smell dissappeared :) It smelled peachy to me Now being 25 I would love to buy the miniature just to remember since I don't wear so fruity scents anymore. To be hones, there's no other Escada I would like since this one was made. I think they would make a great step if they would release this fragrance again and would have a new generation of young girls who would fall in love with it just like I did.

I just became a fragantica member today and this is my first review. And it is on the first perfume I have worn, it was a gift for my 15th bday and I can remember till this day how much I loved it. Thanks to this perfume my love for perfume was born.(and died years later thnx to 2 pregnancies,but now it is alive again) I am searching the web to see if I can find it and order it.my first perfume love, and let me tell you, escada's summer editions nowadays smell nothing like the older ones. Well atleast to me. Wish I could smell this some time again.
