by Claude Dir

Calvin Klein Escape is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1991, created by Claude Dir. The fragrance opens with Blackcurrant, Apple, Marigold, and Melon, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Peach, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Musk, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Escape: Acquired

This 90s powerhouse is a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a strong, complex ride of fruity florals and herbal notes, with serious sillage and longevity - if your skin chemistry agrees.

About

Escape opens with a bold, almost overwhelming blast of juicy melon, bright apple, and distinct marigold, underpinned by green oakmoss and a hint of spicy coriander. As it settles, a bouquet of rose and carnation emerges, softened by a creamy peach note. The dry down retains a warm, musky depth with sandalwood and amber, making it surprisingly multi-faceted and long-lasting.
