ESCAPE Perfume Oil

Our ESCAPE Fragrance Oil is 98% close to the original ESCAPE perfume launched by the Calvin Klein brand in 1991. It has the same notes as are present in the original scent profile. Top notes are Melon, Chamomile, Marigold, Tagetes, Apricot, Hyacinth, Oakmoss, Apple, Coriander, Mandarin Orange, Black Currant, Cassia, Litchi and Ylang-Ylang; middle notes are Peach, Lily-of-the-Valley, Carnation, Rose, Jasmine and Cloves; base notes are Oakmoss, Amber, Sandalwood, Musk, Vanilla and Cedar.

Technical Reconstruction & Composition

Our ESCAPE Fragrance Oil is a sophisticated reconstruction that prioritizes molecular stability and linear evaporation. Unlike alcohol-based sprays that utilize ethanol as a volatile carrier—causing a sharp initial spike and rapid dissipation of top notes—this oil formulation is a concentrated anhydrous system. It utilizes high-grade dipropylene glycol and specialized fixatives to anchor the volatile melon and chamomile molecules. The inclusion of Hedione (methyl dihydrojasmonate) provides the necessary transparency and radiance in the heart, while a significant dose of Iso E Super ensures a velvet-like woody diffusion that persists throughout the dry down.

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Melon, Chamomile, Marigold, Tagetes, Apricot, Hyacinth, Oakmoss, Apple, Coriander, Mandarin Orange, Black Currant, Cassia, Litchi, Ylang-Ylang.
• Middle Notes: Peach, Lily-of-the-Valley, Carnation, Rose, Jasmine, Cloves.
• Base Notes: Oakmoss, Amber, Sandalwood, Musk, Vanilla, Cedar.

How It Performs

Performance is governed by the oil’s low volatility. The evaporation curve is smoother and more consistent than traditional EDPs. On the skin, the oil achieves a longevity of 10-12 hours, with residual base notes remaining detectable for over 24 hours on textile fibers. The sillage is moderate to heavy; it creates a consistent scent bubble rather than an aggressive, short-lived trail. The maceration process of the raw materials ensures that the complex fruit-floral-marine balance remains stable without oxidation over time.

Best Times to Wear

This fragrance is optimized for temperatures between 15°C and 28°C. It performs exceptionally well in moderate humidity, which assists in the diffusion of the aquatic melon accords. It is a professional-grade scent suitable for office environments due to its lack of alcohol harshness, but it possesses the complexity required for outdoor spring and summer events.

Pros & Cons

How It Compares

In a laboratory comparison, our oil demonstrates a higher percentage of base-note fixatives (Ambroxan and Galaxolide) than the current retail reformulation. While the original EDT loses 60% of its mass within the first 2 hours, our oil retains 85% of its molecular structure on the skin at the 4-hour mark. This results in a scent that remains true to its heart for a significantly longer duration, avoiding the ‘thin’ chemical dry down often found in modern mass-market batches.

What Customers Say

“The accuracy is undeniable. The melon and chamomile notes are deep and lack the synthetic ‘scratchiness’ of the spray version. It lasts through a full work shift easily.”

“As a collector, I appreciate the linear evaporation. It doesn’t change drastically; it just stays as a rich, aromatic marine scent for hours on end.”

Any Questions?

How do I apply this for best sillage? Apply to pulse points where skin temperature is highest (wrists and neck) to accelerate the diffusion of the oil molecules.

Is the oil safe for clothing? While the oil is clear, the high concentration of natural extracts like Oakmoss and Tagetes means it should be applied to skin or inner hemlines to avoid potential staining on delicate silks.

What is the price in local currency? Our 10ml concentrated oil is priced at Rs. 1,200, offering a lower cost-per-wear than the designer bottled version.
