The name Escada sounds so good for a perfume, even before we smell it. What’s in a name you might ask? An attractive sounding name for a perfume or cologne is not just good business sense and easy to market, but very importantly, a good perfume name is remembered even when you think it is forgotten. Escada make an Eau De Toilette Spray called Ocean Lounge. It is for women but the name ‘ocean lounge’ leaves a lot to be desired and would not be my first choice if I were trying to judge on name alone.

Much better sounding is another Escada product called Escada Magnetism, also for women and a much more desirable name, don’t you think? It is such a pity about the bottle that is used for magnetism, which is an Eau De Parfum Spray, because it is awful looking and tactile, it is not. That said Magnetism has a wonderful smell.

Escada perfume name choices

Escada has many perfumes and fragrances to its credit and the names of some of them are as follows, Sentiment, Magnetism, Escada S, Marine Groove, Into the blue, Ocean Lounge, Taj Sunset and Moon Sparkle to name but a few. To my mind, Sentiment and Magnetism are the best followed by Escada S because of the brevity of their names. The double barreled and triple barreled perfume names just don’t cut the mustard so to speak. It might well be that Escada Moon Sparkle is nicer than Sentiment but semantically Sentiment or Magnetism is better.

ESCADA S and OCEAN LOUNGE for Women

I am taking these two Escada Perfume samples first before we get drawn (pun intended) to the real deal below. Escada S is for women and was launched in 2007 by the house of Escada. The smell is a flowery floral one but with hints of woodiness from the mahogany, sandalwood and hazelnut notes. It leaves a musky afterglow that is not really to everyone’s taste.

OCEAN LOUNGE, on the other hand, is a fresh and vibrant Eau De Toilette Spray for ladies and exudes a sweet pleasant tone from the plum, strawberry and pear notes. Ocean is recommended for casual wear. Ocean sounds so much better than the two word moniker Ocean Lounge, in my opinion.

Escada MAGNETISM for Women

MAGNETISM, although older (introduced in 2003) is the best of the range. If you can ignore the bottle issue mentioned earlier you will find that the Magnetism fragrance notes are fruity at the start, as the top notes are melon, pineapple, cassia, blackcurrant and green leaf. The middle notes are green too, and flowery, with beautiful rose and jasmine mixes. The final base notes are woody musk and amber like and last a good long time. I discovered this perfume by chance because I would never has bought it from a bottle perspective. I can say honestly that Magnetism is beautiful and is well named because it has just that, a magnetism that will draw admirers to you. This Escada perfume exudes magnetism.

The fashion house of Escada was founded in 1978 by Margaretha and Wolfgang Ley, a husband and wife team. The now famous Escada Perfume range was launched in 1990 and features a wide variety of perfumes for both men and women.

The couple first met while skiing and Wolfgang remains the CEO of the firm to this day. Unfortunately Margaretha passed away unexpectedly at the age of 56.

The Escada brand was named after an Irish thoroughbred racehorse on which the couple had placed a bet.
