Escada Cologne

As indicated by my previous fragrance reviews, my favorite fragrance is Issey Miyake, while the next two fragrances at the top of my list are Perry Man by Perry Ellis and Escada Pour Homme. I was first introduced to Escada Pour Homme while I was visiting New York City. There is an Escada Store right there on 5th Avenue, but I didn’t discover this fragrance at the designer shop. I actually stumbled across it at one of the department stores (I don’t remember which one).

I was looking for a new fragrance that I liked, and the salesperson showed me several different designer fragrances. This was before I fell in love with Issey Miyake. I sampled a few until the Escada came out. As soon as I smelled this fragrance, I knew that it was the one. I purchased a bottle (this was more than five years ago, and I believe I paid at least fifty dollars for the bottle). Escada Pour Homme has been around since 1993, so it was not a new fragrance, even five years ago when I “discovered” it. There have been newer versions of Escada that I have seen at the Department stores over the past few years, but I haven’t liked any of them. I believe there was a blue colored fragrance that I really didn’t like. I checked the Escada website and didn’t see it on there, so they may have discontinued it. From my perspective, I see why...it wasn’t nearly as captivating as the original Escada Pour Homme.

Escada Pour Homme is a bit stronger in terms of the spiciness, which is odd considering the fact that this rich fragrance claims to have a strong essences of coconut, peach, and orange. I like the fruity and sweet fragrances, so this doesn’t surprise me, but the spice finds it’s way through the fragrance a bit more noticeably than my other fragrances. This masculine fragrance is also reveals shades of sandalwood, musk, and orris along with subtle hints of cedar, lavendar and basil. The combination of notes in this fragrance are pungent in a pleasant way. The complexity and weight of the aroma require a minimal application. The fragrance is strong and like the others I mentioned, will last you throughout the day.
