I’m not sure I would describe it as “sparkling,” as on me it’s a musky rose right from the beginning.

A fresh interpretation of the original perfume for women, This eau de Toilette includes notes of rose, raspberry and blackcurrant. The dry down is a little more powdery but still fresh and smells like I applied rose scented dusting powder to my skin rather than perfume. Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application. These ingredients develop into a sensual and subtly spicy fragrance which swathes around the skin, creating a long lasting feeling of freshness.

It is important to note that the longevity factor alone should not be the sole determinant in choosing a perfume. This fragrance is composed of top notes of raspberry and blackcurrant sorbet, a heart of rose and lily of the valley, and a base of patchouli and musk. Diamonds Rose is a twin sister to Escada Especially - both have slightly tangy, yet refreshing opening which mellows down to a beautiful rose with a distinct musky echo. It uses the original note of Raspberry and this time adds a ripe Black Currant and soft zesty Bergamot leaves and nectar, for a sparkling start. In the dry down, the graceful Diamonds Rose scent is given an unexpectedly seductive twist with a patchouli note, while subtly spicy ambrette swathes the senses in sensuality.

This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.

When I wake up and happily brew myself some coffee, put my makeup, jewellery on, wear pink or white, something elegant, it is a wonderful weather outside, I slip into my daydream.
