Absolutely Me
by Escada
Absolutely Me by Escada is a sweet, fruity, and vanilla-forward fragrance that evokes feelings of youthful joy, innocence, and confectionery elegance. It begins with a lively burst of pink pepper, raspberry, and rose, creating a playful, slightly effervescent opening. This transitions into a soft core of hawthorn, jasmine, and rose, layered with creamy vanilla and white musk, giving it a light, airy, and slightly powdery texture. The overall impression is of a gentle, flirtatious, and delicate aroma—reminiscent of sweet pastries, macarons, or fruity desserts—without becoming cloying or overwhelming. It is deeply personal for many, working as a nostalgic anchor tied to youth, warmth, and emotional comfort.
Pros
- +Delightfully youthful and nostalgic, ideal for those seeking a harmless, joyful fragrance linked to carefree memories.
- +Effortlessly wearable during daytime and mild seasons, especially in spring or autumn.
- +Offers a soft, feminine, and elegant presence with minimal fragrance burden.
Cons
- −Highly variable on skin, with some experiencing a noticeable plastic or chemical chill in the opening.

- −Not universally appealing in lasting performance or dry-down, with some noting poor longevity and a flat finish.
