After seeing all the wide-ranging reviews, I was so excited to get my hands on a sample vial and satisfy my curiosity about this scent. On my skin, Margaretha Ley is a subtly sweet, powdery...

It went on smelling exactly like Charlie Express, which I used to drench myself in back in 8th grade. No good. The instant fruit blast "dries" out quickly, leaving something vaguely musky and a...

I'm shocked by the negative reviews. This is a gorgeous musky scent that is very seductive and something I'd wear at night. It is a classic perfume that is just another example of a wonderful...

This has got to be the worst Escada scent, ever. It smelled so gross that I washed it off right after applying it, and immediately got rid of it. I wouldn't even give it to my little cousin who...

My review is for THE CLASSIC ESCADA by Margaretha Ley!!! Escada's first fragrance. Red/gold packaging. Smells exotic, floral-spicy, warm, creamy, elegant and very feminine. I cannot smell coconut...

This is strong, which is how I like my scents, but I am just not totally sure that this scent is for me. It smells like something my Grandma wears, (not necessarily a bad thing, b/c she smells...

This is one of the worst fragrances I've ever smelled. What can I say about it that hasn't already been said? It's old and stale smelling; so much so I couldn't smell it for more than 2 seconds to...

This is a juicy floral and gives a hint of what later Escadas will become--definitely on the way to tropical and sweet. It certainly has good lasting power, though. I'd probably like it a lot...

When i first had a sniff of this on my wrist, i experienced the worst, musty and expired perfume smell i have come across.. It had a smell worse than cheap red wine that had gone off. I recently...

This is a rich floral that is neither cloying, heavy, or sharp. I really love it for daytime wear. Lush but light is how it comes off on me. The notes I’ve read for this fragrance are different...

I have been wearing this for about 9 years now. It was my signature fragrance of 1994. It turned the heads of men then as it does now. I was hoping Escada Acte 2 & Sentiment would have turned out...

I love this fragrance. I agree with how the others have described it. What I like about it is it's staying power. Many fragrances fade fast on me, but this one stays with me all day.

Interesting and different-very sweet and slightly musky-the smell reminds me of root beer almost-it has that sort of sweetness-not overpoweringly so tho. In addn, it reminds me of a lighter version...
