It remains a mystery to me why the Escales by Dior are often pushed aside on the shelf or lead a dusty and neglected existence on the bottom shelf. I like them all, each in its own way. Unfortunately, they share a frustrating characteristic: they don’t really stay with me for long, but are rather light-hearted and carefree companions that can be quickly carried away by the wind. Apparently, nomen omen, and the scent only makes a pit stop with me. However, I can enjoy this short visit with all my heart, as it is not one-dimensional and flat, but proves to be complex and takes some surprising turns. At the beginning: citrus summer water, a beautiful lemon-bergamot mix - not bitter-dull but zesty-creamy. Mint can also be clearly sniffed out. So far so good: lemon, bitter orange, bergamot, and mint: it’s a tried-and-true recipe for summer. But wait, what is that? Clearly CINNAMON and vanilla! Well, hello, why so suddenly? Christmas songs in midsummer??? After I recovered from the initial shock, my nose literally starts to smile. What a cheerful, unpretentious, cheeky scent! Delicate woods mix in, and “Escale a Parati” manages to be cool and warm, zesty and sensual, fizzy and creamy all at once.
And there it is, the rascal: right on my wish list for next summer!
PS I had to move up the fragrance purchase because I learned at the Dior counter today that the scent is being discontinued. What a pity!
Lemony with mint and wood, that's how I perceive it too. Cinnamon and vanilla don’t come through for me. It has been my absolute favorite scent in the last few days, as I didn't want to wear anything else in the heat, and I sprayed it on generously several times a day.
