Where On Earth Can I Find Casual Friday?

I've been looking everywhere for a bottle of Escada's Casual Friday, but everywhere I look, it is out of stock.

Can anybody direct me to a source? Any help would be much appreciated! PM is fine =)

P.S. I live near Chicago.

It's discontinued, not just "out of stock," unfortunately.
I see 2.5 oz. bottles sell on eBay between $40 and $60.

It's unfortunate, but of the two, only 1stperfume says they are in stock. The reviews on 1stperfume are truly horrific, so I'd rather not chance it.

Would Burberry Brit be a suitable substitute for Casual Friday? I am worried about the Brit being too powdery.

Casual Friday is one of my all-time favorites. You could definitely buy this one blind!

They seem to have it here http://perfumeexpo.com/page/1fl/Home.html. I've ordered from them before and not had a problem. They are a retail outlet in the fashion district in LA...not heavily advertised on the net. But I have found quite a few discontinued items there at fairly reasonable prices. And, you're right....Stay away from 1stperfume.com at all costs.

Good luck!

Not the same. Casual Friday is more like a "spilled coffee w/cream" + woods frag.

Brit has a different sort of woody feel to it along with the spiced gourmand notes + rose.

I can't think of a substitute for Casual Friday. Casual Friday was a little bit too synthetic for me, but pretty good overall and outstanding duration.

I found it a little synthetic too, but I believe Pugsley5 here at Basenotes sells decants of it, if you are interested.

I love Casual Friday, but will caution against it if you're not a fan of either sandalwood and/or anise. (The anise notes, as in Lolita Lempicka Pour Homme, are QUITE pronounced.)

there is some aftershave balm and shower gel up on strawberrynet.com, you could e-mail them to see if they could source some edt, they have been quite helpful to me in the past.
