Launched in 1990 by the German luxury fashion house Escada and created by perfumer Michel Almairac, Margaretha Ley is a warm and inviting Oriental Floral fragrance. The composition opens with fresh notes of hyacinth and bergamot, giving way to a heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and peach that reads as a soft embrace of floral sweetness. Clove and African orange flower add a subtle warmth, while the base of sandalwood, vanilla, and musk creates a powdery, woody depth.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced effect — the top notes are bright but short-lived, while the heart and base notes develop slowly. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than projecting through a room.
