I must've been sent an expired bottle. I've gone through several bottles of this scent in the past and they've all been wonderful. However, the one I just received from Amazon smells like straight rubbing alcohol. Complete waste of my money. So disappointed.

Shipping was very quick and I liked that. But, the product which is the purfume is kinda disapointment. It does not stay on long at all. 1 hour later the smell is gone even I spray more than I like. I wonder if it is old.

Elixir is a new flanker of Escada Especially targeted at the Middle East - if I'm not mistaken. Still, Escada's isn't an orientalist take on this trend that throws a bucket of spices into some heavy rose jam concoction - Estee Lauder Wood Mystique, I'm looking at you.

"Especially Escada Elixir" is no magical or particularly outstanding example of a flowery bouquet, nevertheless it smells very nice and rather lush. "Elixir" reminds me of rose-jam, but of course the scent of rose-jam has been intensified in the laboratory for heightened effect.

Keep up the good work. The prices were amazing and I usually spend more money at a store on perfume then I did on this Web site so thank you because I was able to buy more perfume for my money.

lovely sweet soft floral fragrance; nice bottle; fairly long lasting

lid spins around too easily which is annoying; may be too sweet for some

love love love this fragrence. Was a bit dubious about buying online as I couldn't check if it was authentic but it is! im very happy with the product.

[...] was a present for my daughter

Great Smell; Long Lasting

Got a really nice summery smell. I love it.

Love this fragrance! Works nicely with my chemistry- only draw back is minimal sillage, and longetivity is only an hour or so. For the price paid, Escada Especially Escada should last for at least a few hours.
