Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Especially Escada EDP
This fresh, watery rose is a divisive little thing; some find it a delightful, clean everyday scent, while others are utterly underwhelmed by its fleeting nature and generic vibe. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who love it, its gentle charm is undeniable.

Our Verdict - Regency For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's take on Especially Escada. Regency captures the dewy pear-and-rose freshness that makes the original a rose for people who don't like rose, though the soft aquatic-musk finish reads a touch sharper and shorter here.

Season and Occasion Fit

Especially Escada

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, light rose and aquatic profile makes it ideal for casual wear and surprisingly suitable for the office due to its non-offensive nature. However, the often-cited poor longevity and soft sillage make it less impactful for formal events. Many reviews highlight its perfect suitability for day-to-day summer wear.

Regency For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The dewy, watery pear-and-rose freshness is built for warm, bright spring and summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Soft and easy-wearing - ideal for casual daytime, dates and the office rather than formal evenings.
