Escada Escada Collection is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1997, created by Françoise Caron. Escada Collection opens with Plum and Caramel, settles into a heart of White Flowers, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Escada's Escada Collection carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A legendary, discontinued gourmand that still has a dedicated following, Escada Collection delivers rich, warm, boozy plums and caramel. It's a divisive one though; some find it a dated, cloying mess, others a unique masterpiece.

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.
