It's that time again.
Escada has a new summer edition... time for me to test it.
There are two of the summery scents that I always love to wear as staples and fair-weather favorites, and they instantly lift my mood.
Since the previous editions have become increasingly difficult to find due to their limited availability, I hope that with each new creation, I will find a potential successor for my mood boosters.
Unfortunately, the last two summer fragrances were a disappointment, and I did not add them to my collection.
Agua del Sol, however, has succeeded.
It is a fresh little fruit, and if I didn't know better, I would have bet on mango in the fruity opening. However, this is not included in the summer punch at all. Instead, there are several other fruits.
Raspberry, apricot, and citrus notes greet you and hold their ground until the end. Sometimes more, sometimes less synthetic, but never intrusive.
As the fragrance develops, the base notes of sandalwood, tonka bean, and white musk round off the very zesty mixture a bit.
As usual, the longevity is rather fleeting, and after 4 hours, you have to get quite close to the wearer to catch a whiff.
