About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Escape for Men (1993) opens with a bracing green-citrus accord: eucalyptus and grapefruit cut through honeyed melon, while juniper adds a gin-like bite. The heart pivots to the outdoors—sea notes and fir, birch and cypress, rosemary and sage—creating a windswept, aromatic-herbal character that feels more coastal forest than cologne counter. The base grounds things with oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, amber, and patchouli, a mossy-woody finish that lingers close to the skin.

This is a fragrance for collectors who appreciate the unapologetically aromatic style of the early '90s: green, spicy, and slightly aquatic without being sweet or loud. It suits someone who wants a versatile daytime scent for spring and summer, or a nostalgic signature that doesn't smell like modern blue fragrances. Because it's discontinued, expect variations in batch and storage; the eucalyptus and sea notes are the first to fade if a bottle has been mistreated. Best for wearers who enjoy herbal freshness with a mossy backbone, not for those seeking heavy sweetness or gourmand warmth.

中文簡介

CK Escape for Men(1993)以尤加利、西柚、杜松與蜜瓜開場,清涼帶果香,繼而轉入海洋、冷杉、樺木、絲柏、迷迭香與鼠尾草的中調,散發沿海森林般的草本氣息。基調以橡苔、香根草、檀香、琥珀與廣藿香收結,沉穩的木質苔蘚感貼膚持久。整體是典型九十年代初的芳香綠香,清新、微辣、不甜不膩。適合喜歡草本與木質調的收藏家,日常或春夏使用皆宜,尤其適合懷舊用家。由於已停產,選購時需留意保存狀況,尤加利與海洋調最易隨時間減弱。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
