Update: see a review of Escada by Escada. (both above via Women's Wear Daily)
The new Escada has all the notes I love! Sounds intriguing.
Have to admit that I have so far not found an Escada to love, and I am a little worried by the “sea breeze accord” — I don't always like fresh/ozonic fragrances. Certainly worth a try though!
There are so many notes in there I think the sea breeze accord will only add a cooling freshness to the composition.
You don't love Collection?
I have to admit that I do not love Collection. It was too sweet for me. I know it has tons of fans though!
I smelled the new Escada the other day and I have to admit….not what I thought it would be. That's a good thing, however, because it was light, and fresh, but not in the alcohol smelling ugly fresh way. One word…pretty….melon….spring….I'm surprized it wasn't launched pre-spring. Anyway, I'm always an Escada fan.
It is very fresh, and agree that they got it out rather late in the “fresh” season, at least in the United States. Guessing it will sell anyway!
