PowderyWhat does Escada Margaretha Ley (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though few have voted. Voters point mostly to nights out and evenings, while daily and office wear also get a share.
Bergamot, peach, hyacinth and coconut give the opening a fresh, fruity lift. The heart is a floral core of jasmine, iris, orange blossom and ylang-ylang, with clove adding a spicy warmth. Sandalwood, musk and vanilla soften it and turn it sweeter at the base.
