Into the Blue (2006)
by Escada

After an initial blast of watery notes, HUGE nondescript fruit notes overpower this juice. Thank goodness, the drydown returns to a more marine fragrance with a metal edge. Not bad. Could be unisex. But Cool Water remains the epitome of this sort.

Slightly sweet summer scent with a citrus and melon top and florals. Very similar to a lot of men's summer scents with the name blue. Heck, I wouldn't mind wearing this!

Mediocre water-melon fragrance. Similar to zillions of fresh summer scents. Nothing special. Disappointment.

Escada has done it again, and by that I mean only good things: ITB is and smells just great.
It sort of remids me of the now discontinued but still beloved escada’s FeelingFree, wich is (or was: it’s gone to heaven now) one of my alltime favorite escada scents.
The main difference is that ITB is more femenine and FF was more unisex and also a lot fresher: I could say ITB is soft-flowery-waters and FF was soft-clearblue skyes and rain. ITB is more complex than FF but it remains a simple scent (generally speaking) as well. Something like that.
ITB is very lightly sweet and femenine on the top notes and it remains like that for most of the run, so I’ll safely say that it’s a linear scent. That is not a bad thing here because it’s a very comfortable and pretty scent, something of a better quality in comparison to those beyond tacky escada’s limited editions.
The fruity-floral that this one is, might not be too different from others in the same category but this EDP is good enough for a full bottle puchase, at least for me.
Great heavy glass bottle and somewhat similar box and “aura” of Escada’s Escada (2005), wich is another one I relaly like.
When Escada2005 was cucumber and lightsweet water fruits, this one is more airy and even fresher, and not as sweet, I find that for an EDP, it lacks a certain longevity, but I still like it. If a woman oversprays ITB, it wouldn’t bother me at all. I might like it even better.! Good one Escada!.
