The story behind the bottle.
Especially Escada by Escada was launched in 2011 and crafted by perfumer Jean-Michel Duriez. This fragrance opens with the fresh, juicy notes of pear, which complement a delicate blend of rose and ambrette (musk mallow). The heart of ylang-ylang adds a touch of sweetness and warmth, while water notes evoke a sense of aquatic freshness. The base of musk ensures the composition remains soft yet sensual.
Especially Escada is a modern interpretation of Escada's signature style, blending floral elegance with fresh and fruity accents to create an approachable yet sophisticated scent.
Apply two sprays to pulse points — the fragrance's fresh top notes are most prominent initially but give way to its floral warmth over time. It’s best suited for daytime wear due to its bright opening.
