Fizzy blueberry shampoo and marshmallows
No sane person would expect an Escada scent in this kind of packaging to be some mind-blowing, life-changing complex masterpiece, and it certainly isn't, but it's a very cute scent. The blueberry note comes across as fizzy, juicy and a bit artificial. Not necessarily like a super-sweet blueberry candy, more like a blueberry scented shampoo or shower gel. And it's definitely, distinctly blueberry and not raspberry, strawberry or any other fruit.
There is a clean, musky background hum that keeps this from going too cloying. Jasmine? I don't really think so, more like generic white florals.
Of course this also has a sweetness to it. What is called a macaron in the notes lists smells more like a vanillic marshmallow to me. But who cares about those details? Show Me Love is a cute and nostalgic fruity gourmand, fitting for the toy-like bottle, and the earworm of the 90s hit by Robin S I get every time I read the name only adds to the effect.
So far, this is my favorite from the Escada Love collection. Much better than the ho-hum floral Fairy Love or the green apple bubblegum overload of Candy Love. I haven't tried Party Love in depth yet though.
I don't feel like I desperately want to smell this, but I like it.
