  A bit outdated and the scent fades very quickly.

  A bit outdated and doesn’t last long.

  Escada Pour Homme smells limbic, generous, haughty, and super masculine, very different from the precious proposals of today. Although Balenciaga Pour Homme sits at the pinnacle of the 80s and its dislocated proposal fit the 90s trends, Escada takes its 1993 bet to the extreme with a puzzling formula that almost reaches glory and sometimes an indecipherable limbo disguised as an oriental paradise. It’s a kaleidoscopic aroma that snatches what Kouros did with its sharp notes and orders it to be less feminine; on the other hand, it takes the divinity of Balenciaga and makes it more earthly, even more mortal. The bottle seems to have imprisoned the best virtues of those perfumes, showing itself tremendously alive, vibrant, and very masculine, in the alpha male style. As any remembered fragrance, it has spectacular longevity and a projection that confuses the neurons of passers-by, creating a zombie apocalypse that doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad: people turn, whisper, there’s no joke or praise possible, it subjugates young noses and loses the guys who don’t give the width. If we have to justify its stratospheric price, it’s for all the above, no doubt, but it’s also not justifiable. Its explosive opening shows a solid relationship between sandalwood and lavender, pillars of this bomb; from the heart, a wild musk with floral notes and citrus edges that abandon quickly to give way to a coronation of rough, deep, semi-liquorish, and always sweet cognac. Without a doubt, Escada Pour Homme is one of my most prized fragrances, now kept in a safe alongside Gucci Nobile, Balenciaga, and others from that last generation where the man was a strong, reliable, and haughty gentleman. If you like strong fragrances with ample character and find them for under 100 dollars, don’t hesitate for a second; I only recommend that it be the version exactly as shown here on Fragrantica.

  Escada Pour Homme is a limbic, generous, and haughty aroma, a hyper-masculine totally disconnected from current precious proposals. Although Balenciaga Pour Homme is located at the pinnacle of the 80s and challenges 90s trends, Escada takes its 1993 bet to the extreme with a puzzling formula that, touching glory, gets lost in an oriental limbo. It’s a kaleidoscope that steals Kouros’ sharp notes to order them less feminine, while taking Balenciaga’s divinity and making it more earthly and mortal. Its bottle seems to imprison the virtues of those perfumes, vibrant and alpha male. As a remembered fragrance, it offers spectacular longevity and a projection that confuses passers-by, creating an olfactory apocalypse that subjugates the young and loses those who don’t give the width. If we have to justify the price, it’s for all that, although it’s not. Its explosive opening reveals a solid relationship between sandalwood and lavender, pillars of this bomb. From the heart, a wild musk with flowers and citrus that yield to a coronation of rough, deep, and sweet cognac. Without a doubt, it’s one of my most prized fragrances, kept alongside Gucci Nobile and Balenciaga, crowning that generation where the man was a strong and haughty gentleman. If you’re looking for something strong and with character for under 100 dollars, don’t hesitate; just buy the original version from Fragrantica.

  A perfumery gem known to few. I still have about 50ml and don’t want to use it up. I wear it occasionally after a shower, before bed, to drift off peacefully wrapped in the memories it evokes.

  A perfume treasure that few know about. I still have 50ml and I don’t want to spend them. I use it sometimes after a shower and before going to bed, to go to sleep wrapped in memories it brings me.

  I tried it in the 90s and it made me go wild, but nowadays I wouldn’t buy it again; I’ve already enjoyed its moment, and in 2018 there are fresher options for me.

  I had it in the 90s, and at the time I loved it… But I wouldn’t buy it again; I think I already enjoyed it in its time; now in 2018 there’s another range of options waiting for me…

  Review based on the Eau de Parfum version: What I perceive most clearly in the opening is clearly the lavender alongside bitter nuances of orange and a woody base of sandalwood. There is also a liquorish hint that appears at the start and gradually fades. In the heart phase, the dry, powdery cinnamon comes to the fore and practically takes ownership of the perfume. I also note spicy nuances from the cardamom and some floral touches from the carnation and geranium. The vanilla also begins to make itself noticeable, gaining intensity as time passes. The final phase of the perfume is where the vanilla note is most prominent, always cinnamon-infused and with slightly tobacco-like nuances from the tonka. I also smell something of earthy patchouli at the base but it’s very hidden. The perfume suffers from somewhat fair performance, at least on my skin. It really lasts quite a few hours, but very close to the skin from quite early on. I struggle to smell it unless I get close. Totally masculine, it has that retro vibe of 90s men’s perfumes. I would use it better in cold or at most temperate climates. Personally, I think it’s a good perfume but as I mentioned earlier, its poor performance lets it down. I also don’t think it’s justified to pay the amounts being asked for it today simply because it’s discontinued and hard to find; I don’t think it’s justified at all as it’s not that, that good a perfume. Nevertheless, if you’re lucky enough to get it at a good price, it’s not a bad idea to have it in the collection. From Escada, I still stick with Magnetism in its male version.

  Review based on the Eau de Parfum: At the start, lavender stands out with bitter nuances of orange and a sandalwood base, with a liquorish hint that fades over time. In the heart, dry and powdery cinnamon takes control, accompanied by spicy cardamom and floral touches of carnation and geranium. The vanilla gains intensity as time passes. In the final phase, cinnamon-infused vanilla predominates with tobacco-like nuances from the tonka, and something of very hidden earthy patchouli at the base. It suffers from fair performance; it lasts quite a bit but very close to the skin, making it hard to smell without getting close. It’s totally masculine, with that retro vibe of the 90s. I would use it better in cold or temperate climates. It’s a good perfume, but its performance lets it down. I don’t think it’s justified to pay what’s asked today just because it’s discontinued, as it’s not that good. Nevertheless, if you get it at a good price, it’s not a bad idea to have it in the collection. From Escada, I stick with Magnetism in the male version.

  Just out of the shower, it was a small jewel of an oriental, warm, and enveloping scent. The fragrance, as a whole, is chocolate with liquor. At least it was on my skin when I bought it many, many years ago. That chocolate aroma was novel. Like a liquor bonbon (cognac in this case…). It was seductive, nocturnal (perfect for nineties nocturnal wanderers with a slightly classic air). It moved away from the aquatic and ozonic trends of fragrances from that time among young people. And it had a very marked erotic nuance. Women loved that powdery, alcoholic chocolate scent with cinnamon. What a pity it’s no longer available in perfumeries; I would buy it today and I think many would too. It got ahead of its time.

  Once I’d taken my shoes off, it was a small oriental gem, warm and enveloping. The scent, as a whole, was like chocolate with liquor. At least it was on my skin when I bought it many, many years ago. That chocolatey aroma was novel. Like a liqueur bonbon (cognac in this case…). It was seductive, nocturnal (perfect for nineties nocturnal types with a slightly classic air). It broke away from the aquatic and ozonic trends popular among young people at the time. It had a very marked erotic touch. Women loved that alcoholic chocolate scent dusted with cinnamon. What a pity it’s no longer available in perfumeries, because today I’d love it, and I think many others would too. It was ahead of its time.

  The truth is, I haven’t given it many chances, so I can’t judge its longevity; I currently have 60ml left of the original 100. The scent reminds me of my grandfather: lots of chocolate, cinnamon, and cognac, and little else. If there were secondary notes, they get lost among these. The trail is heavy, ideal for cold nights, but in hot interiors, they’ll shout it from the rooftops. It’s an outdated fragrance; perhaps it was the most ‘hot’ of its time, but today, for a younger nose, it smells old-fashioned. That said, it smells good and I like it.

  The ending is the best: the rest smells good but struggles to maintain the initial magic. It opens with spiced citrus and a hint of alcohol, with lavender dominating the heart. The citrus accord is excellent; the orange takes centre stage without being overwhelming, only recognisable with that high-level spiced touch, smooth and very stimulating. The spicy notes linger at the base without much depth. The heart moves quickly: essential lavender with juniper and laurel create a smoky resinous sensation. The warm notes (nutmeg, caraway, clove, cardamom) arrive at the mid-heart. The base descent takes a long time, seeming to use two different perfumes. The trail is ethereal, with the oriental softness staying close to the skin. The patchouli isn’t musty or invasive, vanilla appears, and there’s a slight musky touch that works well. The vanilla and tonka bean don’t overpower, nor is the patchouli aggressive. It’s not weak, though less dense than others from that era; it simply lowers the volume and smells complete. The trail is normal, lasting about four hours. It has a unique character, different from designers who just make you smell freshly showered. I like it for its sensual and subtly refined notes, extremely pleasant even if it’s not the classic beast mode. For brave men who show their soft side or girls who don’t mind the comments.
