Un Air d'Escapade 2014

I just bought a mini of this second-hand as part of Givenchy’s Travel Exclusive collection of miniatures & I am blown away by how good it smells. It’s fruity but not sickly sweet, floral but isn’t overpowering & there is definitely something very moreish to it because I can’t stop smelling myself! This reminds me of the beach or of sitting by a marina on a hot day having been handed a bouquet of roses, lilies & peonies. Very playful & can be worn by anyone young of heart. Longevity is decent 4-5 hrs, sillage on the splash/mini isn’t huge, was smelled & appreciated by my other half who was sat in front of me & I didn’t exactly douse myself with it. Find this a to be in the same vein as D&G’s L'imperatrice 3 but more floral & less fruity, it also doesn't make me nauseous like L’Imperatrice 3. It’s stunning, if I had unlimited bottles of Un Air D’escspade 2012, it might well have become my signature fragrance. EDIT: I was lucky enough to find a boxed & sealed bottle of this. As always, sprays are always different to splashes, the opening of the spray is azingy citrus & floral but once it dries it becomes the same as the splash version, a unique fruity, aquatic floral. I sprayed 2 sprays at 2pm, one on my shirt & one shared between the crooks of my elbows. After a couple of hours, silage was about 6” but more with movement as the scent travelled. 13 hours since first spray & I can still detect a hint of an aquatic-floral fragrance in the crook of my elbows. Just beautiful. If anyone in Europe has a bottle of this that they no longer want, please get in touch :)

Walking through the Fragrance area at the International Airport, This amazing fragrance caught my eye, I had to spray some in the air and walk through it, as I did that, the fragrance really created an audience, what a lovely scent, us ladies were all saying how unique and fresh it was, we could smell that citrus, all agreeing that it's very fresh, elegant and feminine...great for day time..some sprayed the fragrance on their wrist, it lingered nicely onto their skin. What a winner!!..and Yes we all purchased one!!...

Un Air d'Escapade Givenchy is the most lovely aquatic fruity-floral. Crisp white lily and fresh peony sweetened up with litchi and a sparkling mandarin note all smoothly blended by an aquatic breeze and a hint or rose. I got this in a swap without having previously smelled it and it has quickly become one of my favorite everyday scents!

I tried Un Air d'Escapade at Arlanda airport but I did not have time to decide if I wanted to buy it. If Un Air d'Escapade only is available at airport tax-free I will not be able to buy it anytime soon. :(

Really like the fragrance. Duty free has it now. Not sure How long it last. Seems not very long
