Especially Escada Escada for women

Watery, sugared rose. Pleasant for the hour that it lasts

In love!! Rose, water notes, pear and musk are what I am picking up mostly. I would categorize this as a fruity floral, not just a floral. If you are not into fruity fragrances, you might not like this one!

the bottle looks like D&G the one

I tested it today in Superdrug and I love it! Probably the best fragrance from Escada ever. I don't feel any rose in it, maybe I'm just crap.
This will be my next purchase. For sure.

To the person who asked- the balloons mean someone agreed with you
I think reading the reviews, this perfume must change according to the acidity of the wearers skin, as so many people love or hate it.
I love it ,Im getting Musky rose, and its about 5 hours since I sprayed it.....
It smells seductive and feminine, expensive and unusual.....
I love it

Hi All,

I just wonder what are those balloons stand for? And a counter appears when you point at them...

I bought it last week, I really liked it while I was in the shop (I went twice, first time just to test) but now I feel disappointed. It's not long-lasting enough. This is what I hate most about perfumes. I want it to last all day long, not just few hours.

Got a sample of this today through the post. Nice scent, but nothing special.

I am not really into aquatic scents, but this one is nice. I think it's the best perfume release from Escada in like 10 years. I can't stand their usual horrid tropical fruit juices and looked forward to something different. Especially Escada seemed promising--a rosy, musky, aquatic--not your typical perfume. I liked the pink roses and hint of musk I smelled as the perfume dried down. I also appreciate the lack of citrus notes (does EVERY aquatic perfume have to open with lemon or grapefruit?!). The advertisement seems very appropriate for the scent. It's pretty.

I guess I got the "playful" quality, because I swear the image it invoked was that of a clown. Colorful, happy, trying too hard and just a bit off. To be fair, I would have never been drawn to this scent from the description, but got some as a sample. It did last on me, unfortunately, because I really didn't enjoy it. I think I will use it as sachet in my clothes drawer.

Oh, what a lovely scent! Very watery, with quite a lot of Rose in it. Also some Ylang-Ylang and TONS of pretty Musk that helps this perfume along to my no.1 favourite!!! Also a nice bottle. One for definete purchesing!!

I got the free sample from escada n both my sister n me hate it. smell like cheap hairspray...

A friend of mine owns this, and I used it a couple times when I'd slept over and forgotten to bring my own perfume. What can I say? It's pleasant and safe. It's been done before thousands of times though, just another feminine and fresh fruity-rose scent over a light musky base. Projection and longevity are both on the weak side. The packaging may be cute, but I'll pass.

I smelled this perfume and it's actually really nice. It's very nostalgic and the moment I let it settled on my skin, it suddenly brings me to a lovely field with summer breeze and makes you feel really cozy. The bottle and pink juice is lovely. The only thing is that I think it's quite common like I smelled it before.

i like this perfume i can really smell the rose + musk out of it. really good for mabye a dinner party or another occasion- i mean a REALLY good occasion!! lets hope no one is allergic to it!



10/10 :):):):):):)

I tried this today and at first I thought it smelled like a nice floral scent which was nothing special. I cant say that I can smell rose but the drydown is stunning. Mmmm its intoxicatingly floral with a warm twist of something that I cant quite identify, but its gorgeous!! I have to have this one!

I tested this one yesterday, and I must say I was surprised because I expected a classic fruity Escada, but it is an intense, yet young Rose fragrance.

Right from the start I get a young, fresh rose, not the soapy kind, it is a very musky rose, a lusty tangy, young rose...It is a linear fragrance, and the musk note is enhanced by the ambrette, during dry down the musk becomes more intense.

I didn't get the pear, but I'm thinking maybe it is there softening the edges of the rose's petals...

Especially Escada made me feel pinky kinky, flirty and sexy. I don't think it is juvenile, and it can be worn by all ages IMO.

Longevity is average, projection and sillage are very good.

i needed a pick me up this morning and sprayed this on before i left, it is great! smells like fresh vibrant roses, the musk smoothes it out nicely- i kept getting wafts of this yummy musky-rose warmth throughout the day. it's a very energetic/sparkling kinky rose, kind of naughty. made me feel sexy, clean and fresh. you must be a lover of the rose note to like this though, which i am . i was expecting it to wear off quickly because of the reviews but i cant complain- the projection did wear off after 3 or 4 hrs but close to the skin the scent lingered for the whole rest of the day.

yuck..cheap rose smell

Smells like cheap hairspray, very alcoholic.

A very pretty, fresh, rose based floral. This is a refreshing change from the sweet fruity lineup of scents that Escada produces. I like those too, but this is a great departure. I can see the similarity to Chloe but I prefer this because it's softer than Chloe to me. This reminds me of pink roses and lingerie shops.

I have been SEVERELY obsessed with this. I was walking out of Sephore one day and saw this and i had to try some on. I read a lot of high fashion magazines , and hadn't seen any ads for this so I was pleasantly surprised to see that Escada had come out with something new (an eau de parfum). Staying power is alright, i think I'm immune to it now though. I have gotten lots of compliments and a Valet at my work said it smells very shower fresh. I got the boxed set for 62 dollars it came with the parfum, lotion and a nice fushcia colored rose lipgloss. Definitely a must have, i LOVE it.

the smell is not too strong on my body, it is sweet and nice. long lasting on my body.. like it

Especially Escada is spring in a bottle!
Light, fresh, soft, airy, clean, happy, bright, cheerful, carefree, flowery fragrance!
Especially Escada is a fresh rosey-watery scent that smells young and feminine.
When I first smelt ‘Especially’ my first thought was that it reminded me a little bit of Daisy by Marc Jacobs. They both have similarities, in that they are both fresh florals with a slight green-ness to them which instantly reminds me of spring time!
The sillage is what you would expect from a fruity floral. And the longevity was pretty poor on my skin.
Overall a nice, inoffensive, pleasant and wearable scent for everyday use.
Nice bottle too!

Tested this today. Initially smelt very 'shampoo-ey' to me. It has dried down considerably now and it reminds me of a Victoria Secret's scent - I think Bombshell mixed with Givenchy Le Secret- but the Escada is a sweeter smell.

This smelled lovely on a card... But on my skin it smelled like hairspray for some reason! Very synthetic and chemically. Luckily for me, longevity wasn't great!

I'm pretty disappointed with my Especially Escada purchase. While I do love the smell- and it works nicely with my body chemistry; it does not last for more than an hour! I'm wondering if I should buy the body lotion as well-

not a great release, roaring synthetic rose with the usual Escada clean chemical fruit drydown. I actually wear and prefer their downright brash fruity summer numbers than this one which tries to be too classy... For a big rose, I would go for YSL Paris instead (and quickly, before L'Oreal reformulate and destroy that too...)

At start it smells really like a fruity shampoo and reminds me of Incanto Shine. Almost 1 in 1. It kind of seems really cheapy at that stage, like some deodorant or washing liquid. Then that phase dries down to this soapy rose-y smell. It's kind of shampoo-rose smell, nothing original at all. Unique? Like, come on, there's Rock'n'Rose and its flankers, Stella, Rumeur and other load of similar fragrance. Maybe it's pleasant, but it's total rip off. [Want a rose? Get to know Les Parfums de Rosine] I prefer their fruity limited editions. They are fun at least. I don't really recommend it if you want to stand out, you will mix with the crowd with this.

Just got this for my 21st such an amazing perfume ... I thought it was another friuty floral but this is surprising as its very unusual which I did not expect! Would definately recommend you try it! I have been given so many compliments wearing this ...

Just opened my first box of Especially Escada! I LOVE it!

I was surprised to find that Macy's doesn't carry Escada Especially Escada! Sooooo, I ordered it today from Fragrancenet.com Hopefully I'll have better luck than I did with IlBacio I ordered online.

I just received a small sample of Escada Especially Escada in the mail- I think this is the fragrance I've been looking for!! So far, so good! Yum!

on my skin this one has an amazing lasting power. i sprayed it on the back of my hand and even after washing my hands several times, i could still smell it. it is a nice scent, but i think that it would cause me a bad headache. however, nice floral, almost innocent scent.

Now this is a surprise! I expected another very sweet fragrance, a bit crazy and immature (in a good meaning of the word) and I got something different.

Especially Escada is more mature than immature and so is the rose in it. It's mostly rose-musk mallow-watery-musk fragrance on me. It starts rosey and watery and then musk mallow comes into play making the rose a bit bitter, still sweet and classy. I'm also surprised that the sillage is above average on me (summer Escada releases are very weak on my skin). Very well done rose, perhaps a little Lancome way but no - it's Escada, it's different. Not 100% my type of fragrance, as I'm into orientals the most, but a good one and I'll wear it when I'll be in need for change.

I'll add news about drydown and lasting power soon.

OK: so my overall impression is that the sillage bursts and keeps strong for about 2 hours, then it decreases and the fragrance becomes less rose and more watery-musky after about 4 hours (still rose can be detected), kind of faints and faints, but in a good and pleasant way, not as if it was washed out.

Rose in Escada is nicely done, as if straight from a rose bush, after a few hours as if it was rose after rain, but in a beggining - rose flowing in water (lake?). Interesting one.

Bottle looks fine, but reminds me about Dolce&Gabbana's Rose the One. Rose the One is different though, sweeter, Escada's kind of bitter-sweet. All in all thumbs up for Especially Escada!

Received a sample, tried it today. I liked the initial rose scent but the dry-down is very "soapy" smelling. :(

What a happy surprise. It's been many years since an Escada fragrance has captured my attention. I'd given up on their scents some time ago. I received a sample mini of Especially and I gave it a spritz. This is nice! It is a fresh rose ylang-ylang fragrance that's extremely easy to wear. It's along the lines of L'Occitane Rose 4 reines. Very pretty, light and feminine. I love rose and I'm always thrilled when rose loves me back, and Especially is a good one. EDIT: Today I'm wearing Especially and I keep getting a "scent memory" - one of those where you know you've smelled it but you just can't put your finger on it. I kept getting this vision of myself driving in NY with a heavy scarf around my neck, circa 1989...and darned if that vision didn't bring back what I seemed to be smelling. Of all things...I'm nearly certain it's vintage Finesse shampoo/conditioner! I don't know if Finesse is even around anymore, but I remember it used to perfume my hair and the scent was so strong. But I loved it. I'm sure Especially doesn't smell that much like some old shampoo, but something in Escada defintiely touched upon whatever part of my brain subconsciously recorded an episode of driving 22 years ago!

Disliked this from the start and it got no better.
Chemical and sickly sweet. It never morphed into anything but a cheap smell.
Absolutely no complexity and the only redeeming feature in the dry down was it vanished pretty quickly.

If you gave a 5 year old some washing up liquid and assorted shampoo bottles to play with they could have done better.

Especially is not yet another generic floral fragrance. It has that unusual semi sweet-watery note infused with sensual ambrette seeds, delicious pear and fresh florals.
Especially starts off rather fruity; it feels like honey coloured pear nectar dripping off my chin. Soon after, it mellows into sensual ambrette seeds and soft petals, still, the semi sweet-watery note is present all the time making it feel soft and refreshing.
Especially has a similar feel to Attimo and Attimo L’Eau Florale and I am confident that you will like Especially if you like these.
The juice colour does reflect the fragrance spirit; playful, happy, feminine, cheerful, uplifting.
Especially is spring in an elegant bottle.
The lasting power and silage are both decent; I feared that Especially would not survive half a day at work but it does linger nicely on my neck for 6 hours and it is noticeable by my work colleagues.
Perfect spring / summer fragrance.
Well done, Escada!

I love this scent. Feminine, bright and happy... the musk used is white musk, which adds a nice clean effect aside from the rose-water. Very close to Chloe Eau de Parfum, but its nice to see Escada drift from the teen fruity-florals that harshly relate to celebrity fragrances.

In my opinion this is the best thing from Escada since Magnetism... I am not a fan of the fruity summer editions (though I did enjoy Moon Sparkle). It has a lingering effect and has more of a wide age range possibility that the summer scents. It is riminiscent of Bright Crystal but it last longer and drys down better than the Versace.

Really lovely... soft, light rosy sweet... but so very light for my taste. It lacks something... seems unfinished to me, maybe they forgot to add more ingredients.

It's really lovely but it has nothing special and the lasting power is so weak.
I'm gonna give it a like but this fragrance could be a lot better for the price they are asking. ;)

I love it in the bottle, but on my skin smells synthetic and soapy after a while. It's nothing special, but very pleasent and wearable. For me it's Versace Bright Crystal mixed with Avon Be...Kissable.It's a soft, bright, happy floral fruity for everyday use.

This was love at the first spritz! After trying this I didn't want anything else.
Especially Escada is light, floral yet there are soft notes of musk. Pear and rose combine beautifully.
I also like the visual side of Especially Escada: the bottle and also the ad is lovely, decent, happy. Just like the atmosphere the scent creates.
Longevity could be better, though.
I love this!

On me.. it was exactly what I was looking for.. airy, clean clean clean.. sophisticated flower.. It is the perfect floral aquatic i tried on my skin.. doesnt cause any migrains or sinusus :) thank god !

This one is rather surprising. I was expecting an average and dated old-lady-like rose water but instead I got a rather sophisticated and young scent, with a slight frutal twist that provides that extra oomph. It reminds me a little bit of Estee Lauder's Pleasures. Taking into account how much I hate the smell of roses, the fact that I quite like this EDP is, I think, somewhat relevant. It's nice, a bit sharp and not über-flowery. I think this scent can be worn by women of all ages, even suitable for teenagers I'd say.
But being an EDP it could do much better in the longevity department...I always need to reapply in the afternoon.

for me, this was not a young perfume, more old lady. this was very bitter.

This is... nice. Nothing revolutionary, but a young, fresh, sweet, happy rose perfume. Like some others have said it would make a great gift.

i am totally in love with that scent!!so fresh,so unique and so lovely and feminine!!!the rose in it gives it a special touch...love love love it...Ana:-)

Tried it, smelled for half an hour tops and vanished! I can't believe that Escada also produced one of my all-time favorites - Magnetism! This is really a colored, scented, fruity water .. unfortunately, didn't like it one bit..

I had a little tester in my magazine of it.
I first smelled the rose.But I'm not a rose fan so I gave it my mom.
But Its fresh and young, for the day.
But I don't like it ;-)

I prefer fruity-summer limited Escada's releases than the other ones (although I don't wear any Escada).

Especially Escada is really lame!

A deodorant-like, watery rosy pear.
No character at all.
Was it composed in 2 hours?
They should be ashamed of it.

Next one!

Bought this today for my brother's girlfriend's birhtday. She turns 17.

I loved the smell right a way. Sophisticated but also young, fresh and floral...

It's just something a young girl and/or woman needs to spice up her wardrobe. I can imagine when you wear it you feel nice and flirty but also girly...

Perfect gift, if you ask me!

This is not as fruity and tropical as most Escada scents. But it's very average and just another fresh flowery scent. Reminded me of those many drugstore scents again.

nice rose note, not as sweet as other Escada, and also fresh fruity on top,smells feminine but not too old

It is total fail this time. It smells like some kind of cucumber marinade. Really do not like this Escada, although all the previous is quite great.

Great scent. Fresh, not an old fashioned rose.

Nice scent but a bit too classic for me. I don't smell the pears... I especially smell the rose. It's a safe rose perfume if you're not into the grandma rose. It smells similar to Ralph Lauren Romance, to me that is. It's a young, sophisticated perfume but not for me.

Nothing special, but better than previous Escada releases. The fragrance is soft floral fruity. The dry down is creamy and beautiful, roses and pears are mixed well, maybe a bit in the style of the last Marc Jacobs creations or Chanel Chance Eau Tendre. The projection and longevity are poor.
The scent is pleasant and delicate I should say, so the perfume will be an ideal gift. But it's still Escada.
