Escape (1991)
by Calvin Klein

I started wearing this in 1991 when it first came out. It was the only fragrance I could really ever wear back then. I was faithful to Escape and Escape alone for many years afterward. I've only become a perfume junkie in the past 5 years, trying new things and appreciating "the classics" and so forth. Now I am faithful to no scent. BUT, of all the scents I have worn, Escape is the only one I would receive compliments on. Men loved it on me. I think my husband fell in love with me...or Escape, or both of us...
I am know the formula has changed over the years, too bad. It was so beautiful back in the day.

I read these reviews before I tried this perfume, and I must say I was preparing myself for an overpoweringly strong, mature perfume. I should add that I'm 18 and that I really liked this fragrance when I finally got around to testing it.

Strong, yes, but not so strong that it would knock someone out upon first sniff. Sophisticated, warm and sensual is how I would describe Escape. I can see this perfume being worn anytime, whether it be during the day, at night or even at a special occasion. It may be a perfume that smells very similiar to a lot of fragrances these days but there's something about Escape that is intriguing and rather charming.

Update:
When I first tested this fragrance I had never noticed that Escape had a salty note. I was quite surprised to discover this as it did indeed remind me of the ocean. Seeming that all my memories associated with the beach are good ones, this will most definitely be top priority on my wishlist.

Second update:
Escape did not work well with my skin chemistry. Unfortunately I had to push this one aside.

what a WONDERFUL fragrant! I tried it today for the first time. Most peoples comments are about it's nostalgia, given I am only 20 and have no nostalgia from it I still LOVED it!!! It is a bit strong at first but the drydown is esquisite! I think I will purchase a small bottle for my collection. hrs after I sprayed it it is still very strong.

This fresh yet classy fragrance is my everyday "work" choice. It doesn't give me a headache or make me feel nauseous or trigger my asthma as some fragrances can. A light application allows me to feel feminine and groomed while not overwhelming others or the environments I visit. It lasts so I don't feel the need to top up. I would wear this in all but the hottest weather.

This reminds me quite strongly of Cabotine by Gres a soapy ,sweet floral but this is soapier on me .I like this and bought a full size set (very cheaply at TJMaxx)but I'm not sure how often I will wear it.
