Our take

Escape reads like a full garden guide compressed into one bottle, melon and apricot up top, peach and jasmine through the heart, oakmoss and vetiver holding down the base alongside vanilla and amber. That much material could easily turn into noise, but the fruit and green notes keep trading the lead instead of piling up all at once, so what comes through first is bright and slightly tart, more citrus-fruit than syrup.

Oakmoss and vetiver run under the fruit throughout, giving Escape a green, faintly bitter backbone. Cloves add a small spiced flicker in the heart, easy to miss unless you go looking for it.

Staying power here is considerable, settling in firmly and staying put through repeated wear. Sillage matches that energy: people catch it as you walk past, not just when you are standing right beside them.

Spring and summer suit it best, with fall holding up nearly as well and only winter asking for something heavier layered underneath. Escape carries its nineties maximalism honestly, unafraid of throwing melon, jasmine, oakmoss and vanilla into the same bottle and letting them argue it out.

Smells similar

Built from the same materials — ranked by how unusual the shared notes are, not by how many.
