Full bottle in its original box. A rare vintage perfume from the early 1990s, presented in a luxurious heart-shaped bottle adorned with intricate detailing.

Escada by Escada is among the most sought-after vintage fragrances, not least for its distinctive ornamental bottle and exceptionally elaborate presentation box, which makes it feel like a gift in its own right.

Escada by Escada was created by Michel Almairac and released in 1990. It is a floral-sweet scent with floral, sweet, spicy, woody, and powdery main accords. The production of this fragrance was apparently discontinued.

An interesting detail of this particular specimen is the discrepancy in the volume markings: both the bottle and the box state 7,5 ml, while the bottom of the box is marked 15 ml. We have come across other Escada perfumes showing the same discrepancy, including sealed boxes. Such inconsistencies are familiar to collectors of vintage fragrances. Over the years, changes in manufacturing, suppliers and labelling requirements, as well as the use of existing packaging for new bottles or vice versa, could lead to differences between the bottles and boxes. In this case, the same packaging may have been used for different bottle sizes. The batch code, however, matches on the bottle and the bottom of the box.
