Escada

Escada is an international luxury fashion group founded in Germany by Margaretha and Wolfgang Ley. The name Escada means "staircase" in Portuguese. Starting in Munich in 1978, the company made a name for itself with distinctive colorful and patterned fashions. Escada Beauté was founded in 1990 and saw the release of its first fragrance, Escada Margaretha Ley, named for one of the company's founders. The fragrance division launched a series of successful fragrances for men and women throughout the 1990s and continuing into the 21st century. Escada fragrances, like the company's fashions, are notable for their bright packaging and unusual bottle shapes. The company's emphasis on youthful, fruity-floral scents is credited by many with helping to establish fruity-floral as a new fragrance category. Escada produces fragrances today in conjunction with Procter and Gamble. Designer Escada has 74 perfumes in our fragrance base. The earliest edition was created in 1990 and the newest is from 2024. Escada fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Alexandra Carlin, Creations Aromatiques, Pierre Bourdon, Ilias Ermenidis, Dominique Ropion, Francoise Caron, Michel Almairac, Olivier Cresp, Richard Ibanez, Steve DeMercado, Natalie Gracia-Cetto, Laurent Bruyere, Jean-Pierre Bethouart, Jean-Michel Duriez, Sonia Constant, Loc Dong, Amandine Clerc-Marie, Nicolas Beaulieu, Nathalie Lorson, Honorine Blanc, Anne Flipo, Annick Menardo, Aurélien Guichard, Gabriela Chelariu, Philippe Romano, Sophie Labbe, Francis Kurkdjian, Caroline Sabas, Mylène Alran, Benoist Lapouza, Dorothée Piot, Jean-Louis Grauby and Bertrand Duchaufour.
