Another round of quickie reviews: Roca Perfums Núvol di Llimona / Lemon Cloud, Especially Escada and Lalique Encre Noire Pour Elle. The opening is truly good enough to eat, and it should be.

"Especially Escada Elixir" is no magical or particularly outstanding example of a flowery bouquet, nevertheless it smells very nice and rather lush. "Elixir" reminds me of rose-jam, but of course the scent of rose-jam has been intensified in the laboratory for heightened effect.

I adore perfumes of all kinds so it was inevitable really that my job would involve selling fragrances. I love explaining how a different scent can be on the skin to my customers and the fact that I get to test out new fragrances on a daily basis is obviously a giant plus.

Love this fragrance! Works nicely with my chemistry- only draw back is minimal sillage, and longetivity is only an hour or so. For the price paid, Escada Especially Escada should last for at least a few hours.

Shipping was very quick and I liked that. But, the product which is the purfume is kinda disapointment. It does not stay on long at all. 1 hour later the smell is gone even I spray more than I like. I wonder if it is old.

Especially by Escada is another of my recent perfume purchases. I have a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. The perfume was released in 2011. ~ Price and availability ~ The perfume is available in 30ml, 50ml and 75ml bottles. The 50ml perfume is available for ￡34.50 (RRP ￡45.00) at cheapsmells.com.

lovely sweet soft floral fragrance; nice bottle; fairly long lasting

lid spins around too easily which is annoying; may be too sweet for some

Great!!

Got a really nice summery smell. I love it.

Elixir is a new flanker of Escada Especially targeted at the Middle East - if I'm not mistaken. Still, Escada's isn't an orientalist take on this trend that throws a bucket of spices into some heavy rose jam concoction - Estee Lauder Wood Mystique, I'm looking at you.

love love love this fragrence. Was a bit dubious about buying online as I couldn't check if it was authentic but it is! im very happy with the product.
