A closer look at Calvin Klein Escape EDP
Escape EDP comes from Calvin Klein. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety and Nino Cerruti 1881. Base notes like oakmoss and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
The style of Escape
The strongest accord is aromatic (100%), followed by fruity and floral. You will probably like it if you enjoy aromatic and fruity smells and notes like peach and oakmoss. Less obvious notes include marigold, carnation and sandalwood. Perfume fans rate it 3.81 out of 5.
