I'm lucky to still have this. I never gave it much attention but lately I've been getting to know it all over again. My bottle is almost 10 years old and I absolutely love how strong and at the same time airy this fragrance is. Very feminine, clean and ethereal. I get the resemblance to Gentle Fluidity Gold, I'd say this is the same DNA but frutier. I'll hold on to this for as long as I can 😅

I purchased a full 75ml bottle (unboxed) tester bottle for £45 on eBay. I love this perfume, she’s a fruity gourmand with subtle florals. I would only wear this in the cooler months.

Dear Unlitcigar, I found the dupe you were looking for: https://www.eaunique.de/my-impression.html

This‘s probably the most feminine perfume Ive ever smelt it’s so feminine but it’s not girly idk how to describe it it’s such a simple delicate pink floral vanilla that has a tiny bit of sweetness but I love it it just smells like an effortlessly pretty girl she’s not even trying to be noticed but you’ll notice her✨💖

Анонім

I find it very feminine kind of a lotion feeling reminiscent of baby powder light fruity floral macarons within the most pleasant almond scent. With time and allowing the fragrance to mature it's getting even more special. All notes are traceable in a delicate luxurious blend. I haven't come across any other perfume like it. It's a discontinued perfume so at least a price between £70-£120 depending on size is reasonable.

Анонім

Lovely but not worth the price they are asking on ebay. It is weak and sweet, reminiscent of a nice body mist. I had it way back when it was released and enjoyed it, but at the end used it up just for the sake of using it up. The raspberry was nice, but macaroons are not very prominent. And now it's like almost 200 dollars on ebay just because this scent profile is trending? Ridiculous. Please don't buy from those "sellers" it's just ridiculous. Get Ari, Thank you next, Reyna, Love don't be shy...there are plenty bangers to choose that are similar but better.

Agreed with below reviewers - it smells like a mish mash of florals and powdery. I didn’t get sweetness. Smells like a cheap lotion. So disappointed.

There are no macarons, rose, hawthorn, vanilla… I can not believe I looked for it online for so long to find it because it is discontinued and how bad it actually smells… what a blind buy fail… there is no fruitiness or sweetness it is just a mishmash of some sort of floral notes! I have a full bottle for sale… sprayed it twice!

I loved this scent and unable to find it anywhere. Can anyone suggest of a similar scent? Thx.

Absolutely Me Escada- sits close to the skin. It's okay. Based on the notes I thought I would absolutely love this, but it's very faint and a tiny bit sickly sweet, maybe that's the rose macaroon note. A bit too artificial? I wouldn't buy or keep if gifted. Would wear it daytime during the cooler months. A few hours later and it reminds me of the James Bond 700 perfume for women, but without the woodsy note.

this perfume was one of my top fav, too bad they dont really sell it nowdays as they used to now its very hard to get, and very expensive if you even manage to find one T_T

Анонім

Currently the closest to what I'm looking for in a signature smell. There is this enveloping warmth to it from the macaron and the fruitiness of the rasperry. It smells sophisticated yet sweet. It's lovely and a shame it's discontinued!

I agree with many of the reviews for this on one hand, but my experience is a little different. To me this scent is very weird in the best way. I don't think this is a "typical" girly scent at all, although I think it can be interpreted as one. I get an opening of fruity nail polish remover or hairspray that morphs into sweet neon raspberries with a very slight Hawthorne funk that makes it smell very alive. It's not heavy or super strong, more of an airy scent. This one for me is otherworldly and little avant garde. It makes me think of alien fruits and it inspires creative thinking. I could see it going well with a pastel goth or other colorful and artistic style of dress. A different interpretation than most, but that's what I get from this and I think it's amazing! Very special.

There is NOTHING of these notes in this perfume. It smells like a slighty spicy bar of soap. I was so excited (big fan of escada perfumes, they're usually so pleasant and fruity) but unfortunately I dislike it a lot. Hoping someone from my family enjoys it - I need to stop blind buying.

I realized I am a gourmand lover and a floral one too, saw this on sale, I love roses. I thought I would get it, all reviews point to sweet, sweets really do well to people who suffer from depression or mood swings. Sweet scents brighten my day and make me feel better, add the romantic scent of rose and the gourmand notes of cookie and vanilla, surely this is a good and pleasant scent, a mood lifter perhaps, one that as the promotional video, you use for a night out, to have fun, to feel free. It is raspberry sweet, yes, but the rose is very prominent, a rosy sweet scent, with a vanilla cookie beneath, very strong, very rosy and again raspberry juicy. You can almost smell and eat the red rose petals. Definitely a romantic mood lifter, and upliftingly sweet romantic scent. I love its strength and potency, it is going strong after a few hours. Romantic red rose cookie with juicy raspberry jam inside, a gourmand worth buying. This stuff is really, really good, that red rose is almost piercing with freshness and romance, the raspberry is not offensive but tarty, candy sweet, and the vanilla, maccarons lend a nice base, this is a really wonderful scent, rose lovers add this to your list now, right now!

This starts with top notes of crystalline fruity rock candy. The heart and base notes are made up of a powdery vanilla (this must be my interpretation of the macaron note, which is not an "edible" scent). It's light and pleasant, but doesn't project at all. I can't smell it unless I put my nose to my wrist, and I sprayed multiple sprays all over. I would even go as far as to say that this would be a nice child's fragrance, as the scent is very light and innocent. The bottle is also gorgeous IRL due to a mother-of-pearl-like iridescent coating.

Sugar plum fairy scent. It is one of the most vivid fragrances I have ever owned; intense and very playful. Sweetness, sparkling snow, shopping windows full of glistening goods, all new, plastic, artificial. I get dreamy and the fall/winter season is coming; and I get the impression of fragrant compositions used in the shopping malls. Macarons with raspberry and vanilla; sharp, not creamy, sour, artificial. Smells like freshly sprayed all the time. After and hour shy flowery note begins to appear, but it does not change the scent much. Lasts 4-5 hours and that is OK with me. It is uplifting, straightforward, urban, uncomplicated fragrance, sweet and sour (hence the impression of the cherry note I guess); and I get the aforementioned shopping mall vibe. I would not call it masterpiece, not must-have, but still I enjoy this holographic bottle of sparkling liquid. Such scents are the reason that keep me interested in Escada since many years. They usually take me somewhere, be it place or time; I just get bored if the scent takes me... nowhere.

I am a lover of sweet fragrances, so I liked it very much! Anyway, I like all the Escads, although to tell you the truth, they do not knock down durability ... But back to "Absolutely Me": The aroma is sweet, but it is not heavy, heavy or intrusive. He is joyful, cheerful and optimistic. It has something in itself that you want to smell it and crunch it like a cookie / candy;) It is not perhaps somehow super-sophisticated, rather unpretentious and simple smell. Actually, it can make associations with bubble gum, maybe some sweets :) I feel the fruit in it - mainly raspberries, plus a note of vanilla, which I like sooooooo much. Durability is OK, the smell does not impose and does not bother you, you can safely use it every day.

I had this perfume when I was teenager and now I buy it again.I love it like past.it's great perfume.some people think it's only good for young girls but I think it's good for all age.at first when you spray it and if you spray a lot it smells like a cheap raspberry spray or a hair spray but then it become nice and I can smell vanilla and almond and a little powdery rose.it's very beautiful and feminine.modern and old at same.mix of delicious cooky and lipstick.I love lipstick smell and escads absolutely me smell like lipstick more than other perfumes that promise this.longevity is very good.I can use it all season and everybody love it and say you smell very feminine. خیلیا میگن که اسکادا ابسلوتلی می برای سن پایینتر مناسبه اما من میگم برای همه سن اوکی.من هم وقتی نوجون بودم داشتم هم الان و خیلی دوست دارمش.اگه زیاد اسپری کنید اولش کمی چیپ بنظر میاد و بوی اسپری تمشک و تافت مو میده اما بعد چند دقیقه عالی میشه.وانیل و بادام و رز بسیار زیبای پودری به مشام میاد.بویی که هم جدید هست هم قدیمی.هم کمی بوی شیرینی و کیک میده هم بوی رژ لب و من عاشق بوی رژ لب هستم برا همین خیلی به اسکادا علاقه مندم و به نظرم بیشتر از هر ادکلن دیگه بوی رژ لب میده.موندگاری خوبی هم داره و هم فصل گرم و هم سرد مناسبه.من هروقت میزنم همه خوششون میاد و میگن بوی زنونه و طنازی داره

I wore this in high school, but I've repurchased it recently because I still have an empty bottle of it at my parents's house and every time I am there, I have to smell it. I think on some point, I've decided that Escada has too girly and sweet perfumes for me, because I am not 15 anymore, I am a woman now, and this means I have to stop wearing this. How wrong was I. Absolutely me is something special, I think also for Escada. When you don't see this silly bottle, you don't smell girly cupcakes and a 15 years old longing for a kiss in the orchard. The only thing I can smell here is joy. Juicy freshness, something spontaneous, ready to go to the end of the world, but not in a fictional way. When I am wearing it, I could really do anything, it totally inspires me. And I love the name, because I have this thing with sweet perfumes that they kind of make me lonely and automatically longing for someone to be around. But this one, not at all. It is Absolutely me, it is Aquarian, independent and totally free, I feel good in my skin while wearing it. Although I wouldn't even call it sweet, maybe spring-ish, or even better: perfect autumn. The summer is gone, it is getting calm and cold, but I am here, totally alive and ready for anything. A great one.

It does have a berry and nutty scent, surely like a macaron made of almond & caster sugar filled with berry jam. The nuttiness is of almond powder which gives it an innocent feel. I like it, it smells very nice.

Анонім

I don't know why Escada fragrances get so much hate. I think this is rather lovely. It's not complex, granted. It's a simple raspberry-rose and so, yep, its sweet,...but I don't find it sickly or heavy like many other fruity gourmands. The dry down takes the power out of the raspberry and brings out a lovely, light, almond-rose-macaron and a touch of old fashioned lipstick. I'm currently wearing it on a warm evening and unlike many similar fragrances, this isn't cloying or annoying in the heat, but mild and refreshing.

I had this perfume some 4 years ago and still remember how deliciously sweet it was. It was not too strong, but wherever I passed by, people knew it was me! Had lots of compliments. Usually I do not finish any bottle of perfume and give it to my mom when I get bored of it. This was an exception.

Анонім

What a sweetheart of a fragrance. To me this smells just like those little purple violet flowers. Probably almond and vanilla though. My immediate reaction was how delicate, how tender. This isn't sweet sweet to my nose, more of a general sweet warmth. The accords look right accept I would turn the list upside down. Depending on price quite a good if you want a 'nice, quiet, pretty scent' which isn't a white floral, gormand or fruit. I've just sprayed this on an autumn evening post shower. No comment as to longevity or sillage as yet. EDIT Now I've had this on for an hour maybe, it alike I have in my hands a little cluster of freesia or violets, some delicate fragrant purple bouquet. A quiet scent still but just so .... yes; tender.

Escada's absolutely me is completely different with was I expected I imagined it to be a teenagery playful scent,candied sweet raspberry cake,almost gourmand but summery But I find it something similar to guerlain my insolence!sweet?yes,but not that much I expected.macarons?no...just like my insolence which is all about sweet violets to my nose but doesn't have any violet in it's note pyramid,I can detect tones of powdery violets here,sweetened with powdery vanilla with raspberry flavour,there is also a tasty dryness of pink pepper,after a while this powders calm down and we are left with soft vanilla+raspberry+clean,sweet musk..dry down reminds a sweet raspberry cake and has a partial gourmand quality Raspberry powderyness in the opening is a nostalgic scent for me,reminds me my childhood,dolls,scented erasers and I really like it,though I agree it's somehow synthetic(candied raspberry violets seems always synthetic to me) It's wearable all around year and has very good Longevity,something I like to wear when I'm in the mood for it,also dry down is nice and delicious I should confess absolutely me really surprised me,in a good way My insolence is sweeter,more wearable and younger,less powdery version of insolence,I believe escada absolutely me is a sweeter,younger less powdery version of my insolence

I had been coveting this perfume based on the notes for some time. I finally blind bought it for a good deal on ebay along with Galliano's Parlez moi d'amour edp. I expected a sweet, fruity, raspberry-rosey-vanilla macaron scent that would in fact have been absolutely me in every way. What I got is a soft, soapy, musky, skin scent with a hint of vanilla cream. At first spray I smelled absolutely zilch! I thought perhaps I was entirely anosmic to the scent but then I got soft whafts of vanilla soap. It is essentially the scent of expensive novelty soap subtly scented with vanilla macrons. I can detect the almondy macaron note only if I press my nose directly to me wrist. It isn't sweet on me. There is no raspberry, no rose, and no fruity sweetness whatsoever. The overall scent is pleasant as something I'd wear fresh out of a bath but it's certainly a far cry from my expectations of a sweet, fruity, dessert-like scent. By comparison Parlez moi d'amour is beautifully candied rose petals with far better sillage.

They say it's not as sweet as other contemporary feminine fragrances... But then, the spiciness comes just as an upper layer as if to hide away the underlying generic sweetness. It reminds me of a bit of walnut ice cream. Not actually unpleasant, but not a good perfume. **
