Escada Especially Escada Elixir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Jean-Michel Duriez. Especially Escada Elixir opens with Grapefruit and Pear, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Escada's Especially Escada Elixir carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This "elixir" is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, clean fruity rose, while others find it generic, synthetic, or even bitter. Expect a deep, bold rose with a fruity twist, but don't be surprised if its longevity and projection waver.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

While some find it work-safe, its moderate sillage and depth make it more suitable for evenings or dates rather than a demanding office environment. The fruity-rose accords, while not overly heavy, lean it away from casual wear, yet reviewers found it quite versatile. It's a bit too rich for active wear.

About

Especially Escada Elixir opens with a bright, juicy burst of pear and grapefruit, quickly giving way to a rich, dominant rose heart, accented by the lush sweetness of plum and ylang-ylang. The base unfurls with a warm embrace of cashmere wood, musk, and amber, grounded by earthy patchouli and a touch of vanilla, creating a sophisticated yet approachable depth.
