Celebrate N.O.W.

The Story

Celebrate N.O.W. was one of Escada’s signature pillar fragrances, a warm, feel-good floral built around spice and vanilla and themed on living in the moment. Escada has since discontinued it as its fragrance line narrowed, so original bottles are harder to find. Our interpretation keeps this cosy, celebratory scent available.

How It Smells

This is a warm, spicy hug of a fragrance. It opens with a lively kick of cinnamon and ginger, sweet and a little fiery, immediately cosy and inviting. A soft floral heart of magnolia adds a creamy, feminine prettiness that rounds the spice. As it settles, a smooth vanilla warms the base into something comforting and gently sweet, with the spice still glowing underneath. The overall effect is uplifting and snug, a spicy floral vanilla made for good moods and cool evenings.

The Notes

Top: cinnamon, ginger. Heart: magnolia, floral notes. Base: vanilla, soft spices.

How Our Version Compares

Our interpretation rebuilds Celebrate N.O.W. at 40 percent perfume oil, a far higher concentration than the lighter eau de toilette and eau de parfum sprays most people know, where the actual oil content is often only a small fraction of that. Made in the EU to careful standards, it is formulated to track the character you remember while giving you stronger projection and noticeably longer wear on skin. Because the oil load is so high, a little goes a long way: one or two dabs at the pulse points is usually enough for the day, and the scent unfolds slowly through its top, heart, and base over many hours rather than burning off within the first one. An oil based fragrance also sits closer to the skin and reacts to your own warmth and chemistry, so the way it develops on you will be subtly your own rather than identical to anyone else. If you want to stretch the wear even further, apply it to freshly moisturised skin, which holds the oils far better than dry skin and slows down evaporation. Storing it away from heat and direct light will also keep the blend smelling true for longer. This is an independent interpretation inspired by the original accord, blended in our own workshop, and it is not the branded fragrance itself.
