Into the Blue

The Opening of Into the Blue starts off with a scent of freshly cut grass that dominates 15 minutes of applying, Watermelon note starts steeping though but the synthitic overtones fails to deliver the picture of a fruity paradise but still bring an air of interest, Lotus know for it's delicate elegance and with it's powery watery nuance quietly drifts placidly The drydown is a confusing hodpodge of musk and peony, the note from the Peony with it's sweet and powdery smell pleasent but shy and unobtrussive Amber and Musk notes IMHO don't blend well with the grass and watermelon bring a sour tinge to In the Blue, The real showshoper has to be the botle Conjours the feeling of diving into the seas of different shades of Azure of Bali where the Ocean meets the Flawless Turqoiuse sky Suspended in time the sense of oneness and tranquillity overcomes the senses in a Zen Paradise.

The most beautiful chemical perfume I have ever smelled. Perhaps it's the nostalgia. Perhaps it's the reminder that it was one of my first perfumes that was not meant for kids. This perfume never decided whether it was created for women or men. It never intended to remind you of any natural note. It was a pure nuclear beast, the most gorgeous toilet freshener, the absolute stench neutralizer, the most immature perfume for grown-ups. And yet, it was so '00s. I can still feel it burn my nostrils. I could smell it for days after the initial spray. When I realized that it had been discontinued, I kept the last sprays so I could smell it from time to time. Alas! It went bad after a couple of years. Rest in peace, you little beast. We will keep your memory alive. We were too naive to understand how ahead of your time and, at the same time, behind the times you were.

This was my mother's signature fragrance for a long time, so I have very fond memories of ITB. It's true that it has the super-aquatic quality that seems to mark masculine fragrances now. Personally, I find it interesting that citrus/fruity=masculine... When she wore it, it smelled fresh, and it evoked the feeling of moisture and coolness. It smelled really classy and lovely on her, and it projected well and lasted for a long time. This was my first real exposure to aquatic fragrances, and it was exactly how I wanted to smell for a long time after. She still has a bottle on her dresser that I'm pretty sure she never uses, as Coco Mademoiselle is now her signature... Contemplating asking her if I can steal it :).

Escada Into The Blue was nowhere nothing compared to any of the famous floral green aquatics like Aramis New West Skinscent for her which is totally different in all the senses... Try Escada's Sorbetto Rosso if you're looking for watermelon fresh and dewy smell since New West Skinscent is so expensive and HTF! I'm glad I bought a sample of this Escada Into the Blue, but for me it's not worth the bucks for a whole bottle! Thank goodness I didn't take a big plunge into the blue! OBLIQUE Fast Forward Givenchy is a great floral green aquatic that I like more and it smells just like Into the Blue but it's also discontinued and hard to find.

Like the name implies, I am transportered to a sailboat in the Caribbean when I smell this. I'm on the boat sailing at a pretty decent speed, mind you, and not stationary or at the beach--very different feelings are invoked. I am usually not a fan of most aquatics since many of them turn to a sharp masculine smell on me. Not this one. It fades into a fresh floral musk on my skin after a few minutes. When I used to wear this regularly to work, some men always remarked how "lovely" and "fresh" it was...it's not manly on me. It lasts fairly long as well, about 4 hours on my skin.

I love it and I don't care if somebody uses it as air freshener. The opening smells similar to L'Eau par Kenzo. Within minutes the fragrance settles down and becomes more unique with its own character. The woodsy notes give a sort of aseptic smell to the perfume. Cold and clean. Personally, I love that subtle masculine vibe. Ordinary? Not to me, at least. This is a very well-done aquatic, IMHO.

this is my favorite when I want to be in an uplifted mood (or simply when i'm overheated) first whiff were fresh, green, leafy and grassy notes like i'm lying on a crisp grass lawn bathed in sparkling morning dews but heart and base notes were commonly found in other perfume.. floral, musk-woodsy wish that this was a linear scent of that crisp green leaves/grass

I had it like 2 years ago and haven't used it since last year, but I still remeber the scent- so amazingly refreshing and recharging you with lovely emotions. I would recommend this scent to anyone who does not like any heavy smells, but prefers fresh, clean, sweet scents. It is perfect for spring/summer with an average staying power.

For me it is definitely not a masculin scent. I think it would turn out too sweet on a male. I like the sea and this perfume feels like dipping into the ocean. It is fresh,aquatic and also sweet and floral. I must admit that it does not last so long but I just bought the shower gel and the body lotion to make it more intense.

my teenage years in a bottle, i miss this one so much! (bring it back, escada, pls) pure mid to late 2000s nostalgia, when people are looking for perfumes with frutiger aero vibes this was definitely it!

I just love this fragrance . fresh , sweet but not to sweet , fells like a summerwind . last long on my skin. just want to smell and smell. one of my favoritts

a most delightful aquatic.. just love it.. transports me right on the beach with just one sniff.. what more can I want of this perfume?? a larger bottle :)))

Anna Sui "Fantasia Mermaid" very much reminds this one! I got "Fantasia Mermaid" and I immediately appeared in times of "Into the blue."

My new friend for summer time. Very soft and gentle nice for day and night.

This was my second Escada, and my second 'blue' scent. I loved this one.

I just bought for swap . any one interesting let me know . 75ml sealed .

Any of the US want a bottle I have one 4 sale

I wasn't sure what to make of Into The Blue when I first applied the sample that I had. Quite sharp and green, not really my sort of thing at all, but as the day progressed I became more and more impressed with it. It has lasted 11 hours, through a very heavy (and sweaty) day at work, but every now and then I get a little whiff of something fresh and summery and would have to stop to sniff myself to check that it really was my Into The Blue. Into The Blue definitely gets better as it goes along, the start isn't great but if you can wait a while and get past the grassy bit its really rather nice. I doubt I'll buy a full bottle, I'm trying to only buy bottles of "loves" rather than lots of "likes" that only come out occasionally plus the prices for this now its discontinued are a bit steep. Nevertheless, Into The Blue is a good summertime, daytime frag.

I was given this perfume by my mom because she said it was too “manly” and so I wore it through most of jr high and high school, I never received a compliment on it which I don’t get because I think this fragrance is really pleasant. I don’t get much of the green smell, it smells more ozonic than anything and really reminds me of nautica voyage because of how musky it is. Sad to see that it got discontinued but it’s honestly not worth the price people are selling it for online. I still really like it though it’s very youthful !

This is a very fresh and feminine scent for hot days. Reminds me of a day by the pool. The smell does justice to the bottle and the color, it really has a strong aquatic feel to it. It's not very original but it has good sillage, you don't need to put on much and staying power is surprisingly good for such a fresh scent. It gets a bit soapy on the drydown towards the end. Good if you're looking for something refreshing for the summer.
