Turquoise Summer by Escada

At 8 years old, it smells like pure mango to me; if I had to pick one fruit, it’s mango. I love it too.

I’d never tried Escada’s Summer before and saw a Turquoise Summer almost full for 20 euros, so I couldn’t resist. Maybe this will be my last time with this line. On my skin, it smells like those sugar-free colorful gummy candies that all taste the same. Supposedly the red ones are strawberry or raspberry, the yellow ones banana or lemon, and the blue ones blackberry, but they all smell identical. Turquoise Summer smells like an 8-year-old girl’s sticky hands after devouring a jar of these sweets. It’s not an unpleasant scent, but I can’t find a moment to wear it. I don’t have young daughters or nieces to gift it to. Moderate longevity, about 4 hours, and after fifteen minutes, it sits right on the skin. As for compliments… none.

Escada always delivers the best for summer. The bottle with the butterfly ring and those transparent bluish tones that remind you of the sea make it super attractive. It smells like you’re at the beach enjoying a tropical milkshake with sweet milk, assorted fruits (berries, strawberries, raspberries), and a hint of gummy candies, all blended together. 🙂

Just tried it… smells like fruity candy 🙁 Skip it!

I bought it blindly to have several summer perfumes and switch things up. I’d never tried these Escada LEs before, only Acto 2 which I used many years ago and can’t remember the scent; I only have a musty mini left. To be honest with Turquoise Summer: at first, I smelled a common fruity body splash and was a bit disappointed, but I loved the simple, beautiful bottle with that adorable fuchsia butterfly (I bought the 50ml just for the butterfly, I think the 30ml doesn’t come with it). After showering and putting it on, hours later, I fell in love with it. I only smell strawberries or red berries; I’d never used a perfume this fruity since I don’t like body splashes. I’ve loved it too much, ideal for summer. Yes, it has little trail and longevity, max 3 hours and very soft, but it’s a very pleasant aroma. I just smelled it again to write this and caught a faint liquor note that I adore, and after several hours on paper, a faint wood note remains that I also love, probably from the sandalwood. In conclusion, it surprised me for the better. I’ll use it all summer alongside Light Blue, Blue Drop, Benetton Colors Blue (which isn’t on Fragrantica yet), and my beloved I Love Love by Moschino. Although they’re citrusy, Turquoise Summer conquered me. Now I’m going to look for Agua de Sol, this year’s limited edition, but I’ll test it first… 😉

I bought it today along with Escada Agua del Sol, both at a great price thanks to the deal. I’m so happy! I adore both, but Turquoise Summer is my favorite: it’s less citrusy, sweeter but not overwhelming or cloying, and has good longevity. I love it, I’ll be wearing it all summer.

My first Escada, a gift from my mom that I absolutely loved. Smells like spring-summer with fruity and citrus notes. The base is sweet but blends well without being heavy. It gives me a soapy sensation, like coming back from the beach and bathing in something fresh and clean. I really liked it and it works great with my skin.

My first Escada! I had never tried this brand before and I’m glad I bought it. It’s fresh, fruity, and sweet, highlighting a strawberry with vanilla. The bottle is understated but I love the gradient and the butterflies; they even give you a pink butterfly ring. I tested it cold and it doesn’t last long or have much sillage, probably because it’s a summer scent. I’ll test it in the heat to see how it performs.

Without a doubt, the richest perfume I’ve tried so far. I’m going to buy it for Christmas. What a pity it’s limited edition. Too rich, it simply smells like summer, very youthful.

Incredible, it’s the best summer edition of Escada I’ve tried (out of the last three). I’m not good at describing scents, but it smells like fruits, strawberry, pineapple… with a touch of vanilla. It’s sweet but not cloying, very cheerful. It reminds me of the beach and sugar-free gummy worms. Very youthful, feminine, and fun. Highly recommended for this summer and lasts longer than expected. I love it.

I’m not usually a fan of sweet perfumes, but I absolutely loved this one. It’s a cheerful, youthful fruit cocktail, the kind that puts you in a good mood, feminine, and not cloying at all. I notice a lot of orange blossom, which softens and balances it. A great option for nice weather.

Smells very good, especially of pineapple and flowers. It’s sweet and I like it quite a bit.

Reminds me of creamy blackberry ice cream, my childhood when I saved coins to buy it after school. It also smells like milk and vanilla; I don’t detect any floral notes.
