Escada Cherry in the Air is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Cherry in the Air opens with Toffee, Sour Cherry, Mandarin, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Marshmallow, Gardenia, Orchid, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Suede, Oak, Musk, and Sandalwood. Escada's Cherry in the Air carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A sugary, fizzy cherry burst that captured hearts then dashed hopes. Everyone's kicking themselves for not stocking up this discontinued gem. It's not complex, but what it does it does well, though some found it frustratingly fleeting or too artificial.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and often-cited poor longevity make it unsuitable for formal events. The fresh, fun, and light character aligns perfectly with casual outings and even sport, but it's a bit too sweet and playful for a professional office setting.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cherry in the Air opens with a juicy, tart explosion of sour cherry and raspberry, sweetened by a sticky toffee undertone. The heart expands into a fluffy marshmallow and creamy vanilla, intertwined with delicate orchid and gardenia. The drydown settles into a soft, woody musk with a hint of suede, giving it a comforting, grounded finish.
