Escada Beauté was founded in 1990 and saw the release of its first fragrance, Escada Margaretha Ley, named for one of the company’s founders. It's a safe non offensive perfume to wear and I could actually see why some people would like this scent. She's the kind of girl that combines hot pink lip gloss with worn and studded black leather, or extreme lace-up stilettos with shorts. Oh and don't fear the rose, here you won't get a dozen dark red roses in your face, just a few pink petals.

It smells a bit less sweet than most fruity florals I've tried of late, but I'm not really detecting anything identifiable.OK: so my overall impression is that the sillage bursts and keeps strong for about 2 hours, then it decreases and the fragrance becomes less rose and more watery-musky after about 4 hours (still rose can be detected), kind of faints and faints, but in a good and pleasant way, not as if it was washed out. Inspired by the sparkling scent of morning dew on a glistening rose, ESPECIALLY ESCADA perfume presents luxury but in a modern and light-hearted way. Still - maybe others will love how the florals in this scent seem to remain unchanged,"forever young" on your skin, their freshness unchanging from bottle spritz to dry down.

I think this perfume very work-appropriate too, because it's nice and pleasant without screaming that I'm wearing a perfume. To be fair, I would have never been drawn to this scent from the description, but got some as a sample. Not 100% my type of fragrance, as I'm into orientals the most, but a good one and I'll wear it when I'll be in need for change. I also like the visual side of Especially Escada: the bottle and also the ad is lovely, decent, happy.The rose and musk aspect is similar to Lovely and Narcisco Rodriguez for Her--only without the smokey patchouli, so it doesn't get as dark as those 2 can get. The opening of this is gorgeous, juicy pear and fresh rose that project in a very clean and elegant way.
