Another jewel in their crown and potent at 47.5% abv (as opposed to the average 40% abv), this more intense, exotic style has been embellished with two additional botanicals - bergamot orange peel and ambrette seeds - to create a distinctly perfumed note on the palate but still retains its gloriously refreshing finish.

Clean, crisp and elegant, with sea salt, sage and ambrette seeds, it is a carefree fragrance that makes me feel as if I'm walking barefoot on the sand without a worry.

It has top notes of pear combined with the exotic and musky Ambrette seeds.

Especially Escada has top notes of pear combined with exotic and musky ambrette seeds. At the heart of the scent is fresh and dewy rose.
