What does Especially Escada smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays near the skin without growing heavy. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the settings it suits best. Voters mostly find its character feminine and modern.
It opens with ambrette seed and pear, the pear adding a light fruity sweetness. In the heart, aquatic notes, ylang-ylang and rose meet: the watery coolness is softened by a floral roundness. Musk sits in the base and closes it with a clean, soft trail.
