Incredible Me par Escada

Sent good and sweet, but I can’t distinguish any particular note; it’s all a uniform blend. I don’t feel the flowers, just that general sweetness. The longevity is good and I wear it in autumn, where it seems to shine more; it gives me that warm cardigan feeling for the shoulder season. I like it, though before I would have stuck with its sister, Desire Me.

One of my favorites! At first, it smells citrusy with orchid and peony, then it sweetens and whipped cream appears with a touch of chocolate. It’s soft but very noticeable; it lasts about 6 or 7 hours on skin, fading to skin-level by the seventh hour, but on clothes it lasts for days. It gets me compliments and is super cozy, like a warm, sensual hug. I wear it for intimate dates and the other person wants to eat you up like you’re a candy. It’s hard to find because it’s discontinued, but when I see it, I buy without hesitation. Otherwise, I look for an Esenzzia equivalent that does it very well. I love it!

Unfortunately, this has been one of my biggest disappointments. I bought it blindly due to good reviews and my love for gourmand scents, but it’s extremely subtle and fades to skin-level immediately. The floral-gourmand blend doesn’t work for me: it starts floral with tangerine, moves to a dense, powdery chocolate with a subtle coffee note. The only pleasant thing is the custard drydown, but you have to smell it directly on the application points. Longevity is good, about 5-6 hours, but it projects nothing. Maybe it shines more in another season or because the bottle of this discontinued scent isn’t holding up well. Scent 4/10, longevity 6/10, sillage 5/10, value 5/10, versatility 6/10, packaging 8/10. Would I buy it again? No.

I love it because my favorite perfumes smell like vanilla and sweets without seeming cheap. It lasts a long time on the skin and makes people notice.

Opens with a floral note where peony and orchid lead along with tangerine; it’s clean and pleasant at first, but it doesn’t speak to me. Then the citrus fades and chocolate appears, not predominant but mixed with the flower, powdery, with a strange touch, maybe menthol? My nose goes crazy. There’s also custard sweetness, but I can’t find the coffee anywhere. In summary, I like it, it’s not my favorite but its powdery sweetness serves me for a normal day, like going to university feeling clean but without giving up sweetness without being cloying. By the way, when I spray it I feel a wave of alcohol, does anyone else experience this?

C’est délicieux ! Doux et floral sans être écrasant. C’est gourmand, mais pas sucré… De plus, c’est un aimant à compliments.

Rich, very unlike Desire Me which I found heavy. This Incredible Me smells incredible: it starts with lots of peony and tangerine in a rich, fresh, youthful combination, then the citrus fades and leaves the peony. After a while it’s a delicious tiramisu smell, chocolate but not heavy or invasive. What a beautiful fragrance; I think I’ll buy it because there aren’t many bottles left, in my country it’s discontinued.

J’ai les trois parfums ‘Me’ de la collection et celui-ci est mon préféré : doux mais idéal pour les soirées d’été. Il débute par de la mandarine, une orchidée, une touche de tiramisu, du chocolat et du café torréfié qui se marque beaucoup sur ma peau. C’est délicieux !

C’est le troisième parfum Escada que ma sœur utilise (les deux autres sont ‘Escada Island Kiss 2011’, mon cadeau de cette année, et ‘Especially Escada’), et c’est le plus gourmand, ce n’est pas pour rien avec cette composition. Il existe des milliers de parfums similaires, mais si vous aimez les Escada, que vous êtes une femme entre 20 et 40 ans et que vous cherchez quelque chose de proche du gourmand, essayez celui-ci.
