Margaretha Ley (Classic)

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Escada Margaretha Ley

Margaretha Ley is a rich fruity floral, and our version keeps that opulence: a juicy fruit opening, a full floral heart, and a warm sweet base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Named after Escada’s founder, Margaretha Ley was a rich, glamorous fruity floral of its era, pairing juicy fruit with heady flowers and a warm, sweet base.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the peach and blackcurrant juicy up top, let jasmine, rose and ylang fill the middle, and finish on a warm vanilla, amber and sandalwood base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original has been discontinued and is now hard to find. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration so you can wear the same style again.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loved this vintage Escada and wants a way to wear that rich, glamorous style again.

Notes

How it Smells

The base is warm and sweet, with vanilla, amber and sandalwood giving a glamorous, lasting finish.

Common Questions

How close is it to Escada Margaretha Ley?

It stays close to the rich, fruity floral character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

Is the original still available?

The original has been discontinued and is now hard to find, or only sold at high prices by resellers. Our version brings the same style back so you can wear it again without hunting for a bottle.

Is this the same perfume as Escada Margaretha Ley?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, created because the original is no longer easy to buy.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans feminine and is made for evenings and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
