Show Me Love

Escada Show Me Love Limited Edition.I am older. Just luckily blind bought this beauty. I read some other reviews and, understandably, fragrances work with each individual's body chemistry. On me smells divine, sexy & flirtatious. Divine because a couple of seconds after I spray it I immediately get an almond that sticks to my skin in a great way, almond & very light grapefruitish-blueberry-type scent intermingled with almonds which is perfectly balanced and blended in a sultry way. Sexy because the slight vanilla scent combined with macaroons is indescribably appetizing to the senses. And, flirtatious, I believe, because it tickles the senses. I will continue to have this fragrance in stocks- for a long time had been searching for a vanillic fragrance with almond scent. Show Me Love is definitely not a sugared cotton candy cheapie fragrance. It is a mysterious classy biscotti with a twist.

Fresh, pleasant and very summery. I've been wanting this one for a while because I've been after a good blueberry scent ever since the days of Avon's Electrify Me from the early 2010s, and I found Show Me Love sitting all by itself at my local TK Maxx for £32.99. My local doesn't really stock perfumes anymore so I was really surprised to see it! To my fairly inexperienced nose, I don't get jasmine from this at all. It's a bright blueberry that carries a strong lemony note (my husband thought orange), and as it dries down it becomes more of a shampoo scent that then mellows into blueberry macarons without being sickeningly sweet. It's inoffensive and I'm very happy with this blind buy! I really like the bottle, though I think I'll be storing it upside down just to not risk leaking.

Ahh, finally- an Escada perfume that is DIFFERENT! I love the Escada house, but every year, the 'new' ones always end up smelling so similar to the last! Not this one, though... at first spray, it begins with a BLAST of very tart blueberry, which is super inviting! However, that quickly changes into a more rounded, fruity 'pie' blueberry- and then, turns into an almost nutmeg-ish, subtly bready sort of gourmand type of aroma. The end result is still fruity, VERY delicious, and a bit richer than most of the typical yearly Escada editions. This one has a bit more depth, but is still not super long-lasting, unfortunately. I'd still highly recommend it for anyone liking a fruity scent with a bit of gourmand- the blend is utterly exquisite! I just wish it lasted a bit longer.

This was a blind buy for $19.99 at Marshall’s and wow, it’s DELICIOUS!!! At first spray, you get a blast of mouth watering, semi-tart blueberry. But it quickly turns sweet, and then, I get what is almost a nutmeg note?! It ends up smelling on me like a delicious berry pastry! I love it. The only problem is that, like most Escada scents, it just doesn’t last that long. Also, the bottle is cute but awkward? It sits as a heart but the spray nozzle is on the bottom, as is the cap. So if basically rests upside down, and you turn it upright to spray. I’ve had it for a couple of months and this doesn’t seem to affect its ability to spray properly.

A delightful, invigorating scent. It effervesces with the freshness of ripe berries and carries a distinct, dessert-like sweetness that envelops you in a delicious and soft mist. The fragrance has a reasonably long-lasting presence on both skin and fabric, enduring for about 6 to 8 hours. However, I find myself doubting whether I am perhaps slightly too mature to wear this perfume. Nevertheless, I choose to disregard that, as it's a lovely summer fragrance that I thoroughly enjoy. This isn't a groundbreaking or innovative scent we're dealing with here. But it is an incredibly pleasant and juicy delight.

Found a big bottle at Burlington for $30. I first bought candy love (which I looooove) so I decided to buy it when I found it. At first it does have a harsh opening- very fruity hair spray. But the dry down? Smells similar to B&BW Blueberry Sugar Pancakes. It's a lot more creamier/gourmand than I thought it would be on my skin. I honestly might like it a little more than Candy Love- which I didn't think I would! Good fragrance over all! 🥞🫐

She’s definitely related to sparkling lychee. tart chewy blueberry sweets. Bright and juicy and fizzy. Artificial blueberry but the candy kind not the gross kind. Love this and will layer w sparkling lychee (or khair fusion) when I get a new one. My friends pointed out a prominent blackcurrant note which isn’t listed but I think I smell that more than blueberry. It’s fizzy and juicy on me but juicy and warm on them. Lovely!

This smells like how a mixed berry smoothie tastes— crushed berries seeds and all. Really super potent too, I love strong but this, if too much on, will smell gross and overwhelming. Sparingly it’s a delight at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s a great layering scent. I layered this with Britney Spears Festive Fantasy and it’s scrumptious 🥰

Happy Valentine's Day 2024. A gift to myself. Kitsch packaging, bottle inclusive. It's a limited edition one worth it for the linear blueberry coulis olfactory vibe. I bought it for layering. Best to keep it upside down in it's box. I'm very satisfied with this. Cheers. T.

This was just delivered today. I love it. It’s very sweet. The jasmine is not too prominent for me, which is great, as I am somewhat sensitive to heavy jasmine (makes me nauseated). It’s great for people who love sweet gourmand fragrances.

Has a very similar vibe to Poets of Berlin. I actually enjoy this fragrance a lot more. Well priced and well executed. I purchased my bottle for $39. Last 3 hours on my skin, and at this price I don't mind spraying indiscriminately. FBW

Oh this is soooo, so good... delicious berries & cream. My favorite of the 3 hearts! It starts off quite tart, but the drydown is incredibly creamy (and a bit musky). Absolutely divine

I passed on Candy and Fairy Love. I cannot wait to get my hands on this!!!!

Smells like blueberry lemonade. I love it!

Smells like blueberry candy! Yum!

I’m a gourmand freak and so HAD to get my hands on this for the notes alone despite expecting it to be entirely juvenile with no lasting power whatsoever. It is somewhat juvenile as it is mainly a blue raspberry fragrance but the blueberry still comes through clearly as does the macaron. The macaron note is quite restrained. It’s not overtly bakery but does tease bits of cream and cookie and overall mainly translates as the unique semi-sweet powderiness of almond without any of the actual nuttiness of almond. Quite lovely and nuanced in a surprisingly mature manner. The mix of goofy, drippy blue raspberry candy with the refined, ladylike almond works really nicely together. The longevity on this is decent compared to my expectations. About four hours. The sillage is poor but that’s fine as this is one which will mainly be appreciated by fellow gourmand freaks who are addicted to the novelty of smelling themselves as actual desserts and not necessarily trying to impress others. This has been a pleasure to wear on carefree spring days and I’m looking forward to wearing it on the Fourth of July in order to evoke Bomb Pop imagery. My only gripe is with the bottle design. My bottle started leaking after a month and whether or not the sprayer was faulty to begin with, the issue was surely exacerbated by the top down design of the bottle.

I'll comment on the smell another time ~ just wanted to leave a comment regarding the LOOKS only; I specifically went to the shop to test Show Me Love (SML). I noticed it immediately on the shelf and reached out to it ~ "There it is!" I excitedly said to the sales assistant. (lol) I took it in my hand and looked at it ~ after a few seconds I realized I wasn't holding SML in my hand; it was Fairy Love I had picked up! SML was below it, on another self. Point being: They look IDENTICAL in real life. The color red is slightly different, but still close enough to make them hard to tell apart. What a wasted opportunity?? I had visioned myself collecting all the hearts they release (sad, I know), and each heart would have been a DIFFERENT COLOR. (Like with My Little Ponies or Care Bears in the 90s!) It could have been a cool collection. SML is a blueberry-dominant scent, so why not use a shade of pastel blue or purple as the main color? (You know, the same color you get by mixing blueberries with milk) That with a white inner heart.. It would have looked adorable! Or they could have even used the colors of those blueberry macarons they used on the ad campaign; purple heart with a darker purple inner heart. So mega thumb DOWN to Escada for this DESIGN FAIL! Doesn't make any sense, and in fact, comes across as pretty lazy.

Found this gem at Burlingtons for $30 and was shocked! Definitely had to purchase this blind. I am aware of the other 2 Escada Love perfumes but this one really wasn’t on my radar to buy. The first spray is extremely harsh. Pure alcohol and some sort of weird citrusy note that I was not expecting. I was really starting to doubt this. To be honest, I didn’t even know what notes was in this fragrance. The surprise comes in the dry down. This is where this perfume BEGINS TO SHINE! The blueberry note is beautifully crafted and it’s very light, not offensive at all. I get some sort of shampoo vibes also but it doesn’t bother me much. Jasmine isn’t coming in at all for me, which is a shame because I love Jasmine. All in all: You can definitely wear this all seasons! I get the comparison to B&BW Blueberry Sugar Pancakes. Except — this is not sugar / syrupy as B&BW. Show Me Love is more fresher, cleaner if you will. The Blueberry notes are the same deal but again, don’t expect a super sweet fragrance because this isn’t it. It’s light. This will be my 3rd blueberry fragrance so, im really happy with it.

I've actually come to like Show Me Love ~ it has become my 2nd favourite scent in this Escada heart line. (Haven't tried the 4th one yet, the cherry one) However, it has the poorest longevity out of the first three, and its dry-down isn't that nice. There is an obvious blueberry cloud, though, that surrounds me from the beginning to the end—which is lovely! (Blueberry is my favourite berry) THAT SAID. I bought my bottle only 7 months ago and have safely stored it in the perfume closet. When I used it again today (after a while) it didn't quite smell/perform the way it did in the beginning. It's almost like it smelled watery, could hardly get a proper smell out of it even with several sprays... (Normally all it takes is 1-2 sprays for me) THIS GOT ME WORRIED. I hope it's not going off this fast? So I'll put a question mark, for now, on the Show Me Love's reliability in terms of quality. Maybe not all the bottles (the juice in it) smell the same, and/or perhaps not all last as long even when stored correctly? The other heart perfumes have kept very well.

Mmm... Catching whiffs of this as I am cleaning my house. I bought Bath and Body Works Blueberry Sugar Pancakes because my child adores gourmand scents. Comparing Show Me Love (ESML) to the B&BW body mist, ESML is a fresher and more light hearted scent. Think if you were having a coffee with dessert, the dessert would compliment the coffee as opposed to over powering the coffee like some heavy decadent desserts often do. ESML is slightly sweet creamy almond blueberry macarons, but not the in your face high stack of buttery buttermilk blueberry pancakes with super sweet blueberry syrup and mountain high vanilla whipped cream topping. If you are seeking the latter, you'll have to stop by a restaurant or get the B&BW blueberry sugar pancakes line. ESML is quite wearable and not juvenile. If you like gourmand scents or cozy scents, this is a nice deviation from the caramel and vanilla cupcakes that overload the current market. Due to the almond note, I recommend sampling before purchasing.
