Lily Chic
by Escada
Lily Chic by Escada is a distinctly fresh, citrus-laced white floral perfume that captures the essence of spring in a bottle. It opens with a bright, crisp blend of green apple and pear, creating a slightly sour, green-fruity top that feels almost edible in its clarity. The heart centers on lily of the valley—clear, clean, and not overly sweet—giving it a delicate, slightly bitter elegance. The drydown reveals a faint warmth from amber and citrus, though the balsamic notes are subtle and never dominate. Despite its simple structure, the fragrance evolves with an almost narrative quality, gradually moving from fruity zest to floral purity and ending on a soft, personal warmth. It’s best suited for daytime use in spring and summer, offering a modest sillage that stays close to the skin and performs with moderate longevity.
