The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1997 by Escada, Escada Collection is a sophisticated Oriental fragrance for women crafted by perfumer Francoise Caron. It opens with the sweet warmth of caramel and plum, leading into the heart where white flowers like orange blossom and jasmine mingle with rose to create an opulent floral bouquet. The base notes anchor this composition with tonka bean, sandalwood, musk, and cedar, adding a powdery and woody depth that is both comforting and elegant.

How to wear it

Apply Escada Collection to pulse points for a lasting warmth. The caramel and plum top notes are bright but fade quickly, so allow it time to settle into its powdery floral base. It reads best close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for an evening out or a cozy night in.
