Now, when you try this in 2021 it may not seem very special...

but I'm pretty sure it was special when released in 1997. If it seems reminiscent of something else to you, it's probably because it reminds you of hundreds of Axe/Lynx, Adidas and many other deodorants and body washes.

The notes in this - and similar scents popping out at that very moment in history - have laid the foundation for how "fresh", "sporty" and/or "active" scents were composed for the next twenty years.

Green and clean, it's a tad aquatic on a base of grapefruit citrus freshness with apple, mint, lavender, oakmoss and a woody patchouli. Really nice, but unfortunately nothing outstanding in today's world of perfumery.

The Cool 90s

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.
