PowderyWhat does Especially Escada Elixir smell like?
It opens with pear, grapefruit and Ecuadorian ambrette seed, bright and fruity. In the heart, Turkish rose absolute, plum, ylang-ylang and prune add a soft, sweet floral touch. The base of white musk, patchouli, Bourbon vanilla, cashmere and amber settles into a powdery, warm finish.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine, and a good share call it modern. Parfumlovers 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil - Passion Woman and Jean Patou Patou Nacre Collection have a close profile.
