Sunny Frutti

One of my favourites from the Escada limited editions to date. Absolutely gorgeous, fresh, fruity and clean. Everyone always asked me what I was wearing. Sadly, their latest offerings leave much to be desired ... cannot stand them at all :o( I really miss Sunny Frutti and would love to find an identical fragrance that does not smell like a fruit salad! Note : to those who've recently sampled this and found it horrible, it's just old! I took the chance and ordered a sealed bottle from eBay, looked perfectly genuine but very faded. This fragrance was not designed to age well so whatever is available now will not smell like it should. It's a shame eh?

This fragrance defines a well made fruity floral. It still bothers me that ESCADA had to deviate away from creating bespoke, classy, complex and truly beautiful fragrances such as this to watered down, ultra sugary concoctions. Their summer edition fragrances for the past 12 years have been smelling far too similar to each other after each release. The last truly wonderful fragrance was Tropical Punch. Nothing beats old school ESCADA for sure!

Sunny Frutti was my signature perfume until it was discontinued, one of the best fragrances Escada ever released. I agree that most of their fragrances for the past few years have been very cheap smelling, bland, and too young. Sunny Frutti was all about pear. It was sweet and bright, and it lasted forever on my skin, unlike the sickly watery fruity scents today. Totally and completely unique and never-to-be-duplicated in history. I miss it!

Two Tragedies: 1. Calling 80's-90's fragrances "vintage". Those who grew up in the 80s-90s must feel aged. 2. The discontinuation of Escada jewels from the 1990s. This was one such jewel. A delectable, edible jewel. It was my favourite fruit cocktail in spray form. It was a youthful summer vacation on a tropical holiday, wearing nothing but Sunny Frutti and a lemon yellow sun dress. What joy.

I agree with Joan100... Lately all the Escada releases smell like they're made from the same template. They just tweak notes here and there but it's the same synthetic (and overpriced) crap. This was a real fruity fragrance. Beautiful, lots of depth. I wish Escada would go back to making scents like this.
