I treated myself to something on February 14th. Yes, I know Valentine's Day isn't really celebrated here, in fact it's viewed rather negatively. But I was longing for sunshine, for a good mood, for summer. And I just got that with the Nectar from Escada.
Initially a tropical fruit explosion, mango and pineapple, a little synthetic, of course. No matter, it smells damn delicious. And that's when the sun rises.
All too soon, a delicate, not at all intrusive musk base emerges, very pleasant. The orange blossom takes over with the jasmine, leaving a very light, tangy mango note in the background. The cedarwood note is there, but barely noticeable.
I have the feeling that I have smelled something similar before, perhaps another Escada fragrance?
What remains is a floral cream, with a VERY light mango scent.
For me, there could be more fruit and less floral, but I still got a nice dose of sunshine and tropical punch, just what I wanted for cold February.
Oh yes. The packaging is beautiful, but doesn't quite match the fragrance in my opinion. I would have expected more fruit and less orange blossom/musk.
The turquoise bottle is simple and very pretty, and goes wonderfully with the Escada collection.
But if I had to associate a color with it, it would be creamy yellow or light pastel orange. Definitely not turquoise.
Unfortunately, I can't say much about the longevity, but at the rate the fragrance continues to "develop", it probably won't stay on the skin that long.
