A confused path to this fragrance - A confused commentary
Many years ago I was a student, had no money, but wanted to have a perfume collection. Since there were incredibly many crap purchases:
- 1€ Dupes from Woolworth
- imitated fragrances from 2 online stores, one of which claimed to be high quality (since the flacons arrived partially expired, so high quality was that, but you could at least claim everything, I just have no idea more, how they were called, but that does not matter. :D )
- i had my 5€/10€ favorites from Rossmann and Co. and have me gladly durchgeschnuppert there
- moreover, I was then still Yves Rocher customer and there were many fragrances free.
So I came with my little money to a (from my point of view) numerically quite decent collection. That was after I discovered Parfumo, before I always had so 1, 2 perfumes and that was okay.
One day I was at dm and looked around, what was so new. I needed a mascara and stood at essence. Since I saw a fragrance: "Like a Walk in the Summer Rain" he was called and I liked very very well. Came in my basket and I was happy. Of course, it was discontinued, because there is unfortunately very much short-lived ...
Then I looked around for alternatives and was found only this year at Elizabeth Arden - "Sunflowers". Unfortunately, I do not like the fragrance so much, because he is somehow too much of everything and for me not as coherent smells, as I would like to have. He is for me also not what the small of essence was.
So I entertained myself with the dear Blauemaus, which is always a good place for me to go for everything. :) She said, "Try Escape, I'll send you something." No sooner said than done. A fragrance package arrived and it included a bottling to Escape. So that's how I ended up with Escape. Already a long way, right?
Then it went to testing. Escape rausgeholt, aufgesprüht, sniffed. Nanu? This is not a Sunflowers ... This is also no Walk in the Summer Rain. This is... Can it be? To have this great scent back in my nose after all these years? Is it possible?
I take here quite sound the EdT of Ming Shu of Yves Rocher was. My absolute favorite, which I used to wear up and down. I needed no other (well, at that time I also had no money, because I was child / teenager with pocket money, but I was completely satisfied with the one fragrance).
Then I took the cell phone in hand and wrote to the dear Mrs. Mouse: "A great fragrance, reminds me of Ming Shu." Ming Shu is no longer produced for a very very long time and I was happy to have found a fragrance here that reminds me of it, spreads good mood and accompanies me peacefully through the day. I do not want to have youth nostalgia here, I can safely do without that, but the fragrance is just beautiful.
What replied Mrs. Mouse: "If you want him, you better get him quickly. It's been discontinued." WHAT??? NOOOOO!!! Please don't! Why do you separate young happiness right away? (So young in the figurative sense, you know. :D ) Maybe I'll bunker down some more of that, maybe not. I would like to have it, but can I stand the pain of separation again, which I had to go through with Ming Shu back then? :( What if they take a darling away from me again? Just like that... Jean-Paul already did that with the EdP to Classique. :/ Nasty thing in any case. I'll probably get myself another bottle of Issey Miyake. Let's see if the may stay longer.
So and after all the gibberish now finally to the fragrance. :D
Thank you very much, Mrs. Mouse, for the filling. :)
The fragrance is wonderfully delicate, floral, fresh, aquatic. The composition is very coherent. Unlike Sunflowers (which for me is a completely different fragrance. Hold them side by side, they are completely different.) nothing is too much or too little here. The scents are wonderfully coordinated and they caress you for a very long time. For such a fresh fragrance, it really holds very very well. Great what the Calvin has done here. Until now, I had always associated him only with men's underwear. Back then still with the campaign with Backham. My goodness, it's all a long time ago. Mr. Klein probably thought so too and thinks that the fragrance can go away. Is probably no longer contemporary. I think that's such a shame. There is also much that may remain and here I would wish it, but wishes are also only hollow air and it will not affect anyone. Maybe there will be a time when such fragrances are in again. One must wait and see.
The fragrance reminds me (as already mentioned) of my then favorite Ming Shu, which Yves Rocher took out of the range many years ago. If you like aquatic, fresh scents, you can't go wrong here. Escape is not soapy, not intrusive, not annoying. It's there, but doesn't punch you in the nose. It puts a smile on my face and I'm glad I still got to know it.
I tolerate it very well. My skin likes him, my nose likes him. Everything fits. No headaches, no sneezing, everything is great.
The bottle I had not in hand and can judge him only from the picture. The is a bit too plain for me and my brain wonders that the fragrance water is yellowish-golden instead of light blue. That would suit him better.
The durability is super and the fragrance accompanies you gently through the day. I like him very much and wear him now already the fourth day in a row. That create the fewest. I perceive him all day.
For me, a fragrance that always goes. Such fragrances there should be more.
In brief:
Fragrance: Fresh, aquatic, not soapy, elegant
Durability: Very good, especially because the scent is so fresh
Compatibility: No irritation on the skin or in the nose
Additional info: There are probably only remnants sold :O
