Author's Review
Escada Collection is a sweet oriental blend of mandarin, cola, jasmine, tonka bean, musk and sandalwood, and is unlike any perfume I've ever tried. I bought it in a Perfumerie in Paris for a ridiculously expensive price (when I converted the Euros into Canadian dollars, I almost fainted), but it was well worth it. I can't even begin to describe all the compliments I've received on it... my boyfriend's sister loved it so much that she bought the same one! It is rich and decadent smelling, a welcomed change from the fruity-smelling perfume that is all the rage right now. It reminds me of a chocolatey liqueur or truffle (you can really pick up on the cola), without being sickeningly sweet. You can tell this is an Escada -- it has the same sensuous appeal as Sexy Grafitti and Sentiment, two more well-known Escada perfumes -- but is even more sophisticated and alluring. Even though I initially deemed it my "special occasion perfume", in an attempt to conserve it, it is now my signature scent -- I wear it almost daily. Even the bottle is gorgeous, a glass heart with a gold lid.
Be warned, though, this scent is not for everyone... it is quite particular! If you put too much on, it can be overpowering. Less is definitely more!
