People say it reminds them of
What wearers say
“This reminds me a lot of Prada Candy. It's a musky caramel fragrance with prominent plum and tonka. The vanilla is there, but in the background. It's a very cuddly winter fragrance. Despite the florals Escada Collection doesn't smells floral on my skin. It's more a sweet, balsamic/musky gourmand/oriental.Sillage is moderate, longevity is around 6 hours.”
“This is a 90's gem, highly underrated and sadly discontinued. EC has similarities with Nuit d'ete by Joop another discontinued 90's treasure. Nuit d'ete is more opulent though, more date night, while EC can easily be worn to the office when applied moderately. I'm glad that I found a very good dupe of EC. It's name is "E9 Défilé" produced by the brand D & P Perfumum.”
“Why do they always discontinue the BEST fragrances? It's a cruel world. But this Escada Collection is absolutely amazing!!! I have a little sample and it is so unique and enticing.Cherry cola + vanilla pipe tobacco mix into a deep, slightly heady aroma with very good sillage. A few drops lasted for hours and hours. How I would LOVE to have a full bottle of this. It's so right for fall and winter.”
