The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1999 by Escada, Tender Light was crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. This floral scent opens with a bright citrus accord of bergamot and lemon before transitioning to the heart of orange blossom, peach, tuberose, and ylang-ylang. The base notes of amber, oakmoss, sandalwood, and cedar provide a warm, earthy foundation that grounds the fragrance's delicate floral elements. Tender Light embodies Escada’s signature blend of elegance and sophistication, making it a lasting choice for those who appreciate subtle luxury.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a well-rounded experience. The citrus notes fade within an hour, so it’s best to layer on additional spritzes as needed throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to the skin than in the air.
