Launched in 1995 by Escada, Acte 2 was crafted by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis as a Floral Aldehyde fragrance for women. The composition opens with green and citrus notes like mandarin orange and bergamot, which blend seamlessly into the heart of mimosa, freesia, iris, jasmine, and rose. The base notes of sandalwood, cedar, cinnamon, and vanilla create a warm, powdery finish that is both comforting and elegant.
Acte 2 captures the essence of Escada's distinctive style — vibrant and colorful yet sophisticated. This fragrance seamlessly transitions from day to night with its balanced blend of freshness and warmth.
