About This Perfume
Escada Especially Escada smells like cool pear and watery florals with soft musk. It opens with pear and ambrette seed, moves into aquatic notes, rose and ylang-ylang and settles on musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. A good pick for the office. Released in 2011.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for the office.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike fresh fragrances.
Around $99.
