The story behind the bottle.
Escada S, created by Olivier Cresp and launched in 2007, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance with its distinctive blend of sweet and fresh notes. The composition opens with vibrant plum and black currant, leading to a heart of rose and almond blossom, before settling into a warm base of mahogany, sandalwood, and musk. This scent embodies Escada’s legacy of bold patterns and colorful designs, translating them into an olfactory experience that is both sophisticated and playful.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; Escada S's top notes are bright but fleeting. The fragrance builds warmth over time, so it’s best experienced close to skin rather than from across a room.
