Escada S

Escada S is a soft, feminine fragrance with a delicate balance of fruity, floral, and nutty notes. Its opening features black currant, plum, and rose, delivering a sweet yet crisp start that feels both youthful and elegant. The heart unfolds with almond blossom, lily of the valley, and rose, adding a powdery, slightly spicy dimension that enhances its floral depth without becoming overpowering. By the drydown, subtle hazelnut, mahogany, sandalwood, and musk create a warm, creamy, and gently woody base that adds complexity and a faintly gourmand touch, making it feel indulgent yet restrained. The scent is smooth and well-blended, resembling a polished rose-cream confection with a soft-edged sophistication—ideal for daytime wear and intimate settings. While the projection is moderate and the longevity is moderately moderate (not long-lasting), the fragrance lingers close to the skin, leaving a subtle, elegant trail. It's often described as clean, comforting, and genuinely elegant—though some find the wear on them to be brief or understated. Stylistically, it shares tonal similarities with classic department store perfumes of the 1990s and early 2000s, evoking memories of luxurious, powder-heavy scents. It’s especially beloved by those who appreciate sweet floral-comforting scents without maximal sillage or synthetic sharpness. The bottle is iconic and eye-catching, adding to its appeal as a personal signature or gift.
