Rose-Jam 2013
"Especially Escada Elixir" is no magical or particularly outstanding example of a flowery bouquet, nevertheless it smells very nice and rather lush. "Elixir" reminds me of rose-jam, but of course the scent of rose-jam has been intensified in the laboratory for heightened effect. Some fruity aspects (plum, grapefruit in the top note) add to the rich and romantic inspiration of this scent. The base is a mélange of vanilla, white musk and other contemporary favourites (amber, cashmere).
"Especially Escada Elixir" marks a return to strong, rose-laced perfumes (see other new releases of 2013 i.e. "Innamorata Lovely Rose", "La fille de Berlin", "Vaara"), here we are back to the opulent floral perfumes of the 1930's - done in an entirely artificial 2013-fashion. "Especially Escada Elixir" is a beautiful blend of modern aromachemicals, suitable for everyone who loves sweet nostalgia without the hussel of having to search the internet for a vintage-perfume.
