The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2000, Lily Chic by Escada was crafted by the renowned perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. This fragrance opens with a vibrant mix of pear and green apple, infused with zesty lemon tree and lime notes, creating an immediate burst of freshness. The heart of lily-of-the-valley and grapefruit adds a delicate floral touch, balanced by the warmth of amber in the base. Lily Chic embodies Escada's signature blend of elegance and modernity.

How to wear it

For best effect, apply two sprays to your pulse points. The zesty top notes are intense initially but settle into a more subtle floral warmth over time. This fragrance is ideal for daytime wear as it fades gracefully without becoming too heavy.
