Escada Homme (1993)
by Escada

For what this costs these days, it truly is a great bargain. Escada manages to be dense and heavy while at the same time being well-spaced so that there is an illusion of lightness. The bergamot and lime up top do give an almost civet cast to the opening which recedes in the wake of the booze. I get the juniper and vanilla, but the latter is not forceful nor cloying. Don't overdo the trigger on this one; the penalty could be severe.

I get twelve hours of longevity from Escada. All in all, I enjoy it and am glad it's part of my arsenal.

The only Escada worth owning. Lovely take on cognac, patchouli, oak moss and vanilla. Loud yet very suave. Cheap as paper but smells like a niche.

Just received a 40ml bottle from Fragrancex. I had this gem more than 10 years ago. Grew tired of it and gave it to my grandmother! Lol... Now, after I became a perfume addict, I decided to give it a chance again. Thank God I did, because it is such a great fragrance. The initial blast is a bit too strong, but pay attention to its evolution on the skin. It goes all the way to become a very comfortable and charmy fragrance. NEVER , I said NEVER, wear it on a hot day, or you might get really sick. It's for more formal occasions (not sooo formal), and for nights or colder days. there's no mistake here. Great sillage. I have just spritzed once in my wrist to test it and it's the only smell in my room right now.

Escada Homme is a warm, ambery booze fragrance that is very masculine and comforting. Of course, like most men's fragrances before the aquatic boom when masculinity and projection went out of style, it lasts a long time and projects well.

So, is this what the old Nicole Miller for Men smelled like?

This opens like a typical powerhouse from the 80's, strong, rich and complex. But, it quickly fades, and you are left with galbanum, galbanum and galbanum. Sad that it did not deliver on the promise of it's opening. If you like galbanum, this is great. It tends to smell like cat piss on me, so I won't be wearing it again.
