ESCADA POUR HOMME

Elegant

A vintage sample: The top note of lime, lavender, bergamot and XO cognac is quite unique and well blended indeed. In the drydown I get a lot of cardamom, with a bit of juniper and sandalwood added. At this stage the mixture of freshness and woods is very nice.

Later a touch of moss and a light vanilla/musk note is added. It is, however, never really sweet, as the musk, whilst not too dominant, provides a counterbalance. 

Throughout a light and very elegant fragrance, whose main drawback on my skin is poor projection and silage. On the other hand he longevity is good with over six hours. A scent definitely worth trying.  One of Escada's best.

Launched 1993.   Discontinued unfortunately.
