Escada re-releases 3 fragrances from 20-year catalogue

GERMAN fashion house Escada has re-released three fragrances from its 20-year catalogue of Spring/Summer Limited Edition perfumes.

Sexy Graffiti, which debuted in 2002, Rockin' Rio (2005), and Island Kiss (2004), will make their way back to the shelves in newly-designed curvy flacons which are paired with individual charms.

Escada's Spring/Summer fragrances - inspired by the brand's fashion collections of the same season - are launched on a year-by-year basis, and have become collectibles in their own right.

2012's release will see the three perfumes made available in 50ml and 100ml eau de toilettes, as well as a 150ml body lotion variant.

Sexy Graffiti will return in its fruity floral form, with top notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and grapefruit under laid by a subtle mint. At the heart of the scent are bold tones of lily of the valley, red peony and violets, with base notes of cashmere, vanilla, and musks providing detailed texture.

Its later cousin, Island Kiss, also boasts a fruity floral fragrance - albeit in a more modern fashion. Top notes of orange, passion flower and mango give way to magnolia and juicy peach, with Escada's signature blend of red fruits blended together with woods and musk for the base. It is citrusy sweet, then warm, and finally sultry.

Rockin' Rio, on the other hand, is a youthful perfume inspired by the Pina Colada cocktail. Its top notes of tangerine and papaya give it a tropical zing, while sugar cane and peach deliver the middle notes. At the base, it is a harmony of soft, creamy sandalwood and musks.
