Yes, I still remember this one well, even though I ultimately never bought it. It can be seen as a variation of "Escada pour Homme" in a broader sense, as the bottle has the same shape. However, it does exhibit much more individuality than just a mere summer edition. The cool color scheme (blue and silver) stands in striking contrast to the warm gold of the "original".
The spicy-woody, yet vanilla-ambered base accord is distinctly recognizable, setting Silver Light apart from its comparable competitors (whether Davidoff Cool Water, cK one, or Escape for men by Calvin Klein) and giving it a dandyish-artificial elegance with a distinctly metallic touch. (The only fragrance in which I later found a similar accord is "L'Instant" by Guerlain.) While the opulent "Escada pour Homme" sometimes seemed like a fossil of the Reagan era in the lean, cool 90s, "Silver Light" featured an aquatic-cool freshness with melon, alpine violet, algae, etc., which fit better into the Clinton era.
I can definitely recommend this fragrance to men who want to showcase particularly refined taste while still adhering to the conventions of office life. With the caveat that, compared to the fragrances that are currently up to date, it does come across as somewhat cumbersome and lacks the lightness that is in vogue today, making it quite evident that it is a relic of the past millennium.
