Cherry in the Air

Is Escada Cherry in the Air Worth Buying?

The short answer: yes, with context. Cherry in the Air is an EDT from Escada that earns its reputation through wide appeal and a Sweet, Cherry character that is hard to argue with.

A playful and sweet cherry gourmand, evoking carefree summer days with a marshmallow twist.

Cherry in the Air Notes Breakdown

Cherry in the Air opens with Sour Cherry, Raspberry, Daim and Mandarin Orange — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Marshmallow, Vanilla, Gardenia and Orchid. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: White Suede, Sandalwood, Musk and Oak.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Sweet, Cherry — easy to place and easy to wear.
