Escada has launched its latest seasonal fragrance, Sunset Heat, and this time has included a version for men. Sunset Heat for women is shown at right, and is described, not very helpfully, as “The smell of summer sunset. A floral fruity fragrance.” The men’s version is described as “Driving women crazy. A woody water fragrance.” Will update with notes later if I can find them!
Both fragrances are Eaux de Toilette, and the women’s is also available in matching body products. Online now at nordstrom.
Sunset Heat for women has notes of papaya, lemon, mango sherbet, pineapple mousse, watermelon, peach lotus flower, hibiscus, sandalwood, musk and amber. It is available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette, and in matching Body Lotion and Shower Gel.
Sunset Heat for men has notes of kaffir lime, pomelo, lemon, starfruit, sea breeze, lavender, surfer flower, crushed leaves, Pacific amber, Costa Rican driftwood and musk. It is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette and Shower Gel.

“Driving women crazy. A woody water fragrance.”
O. M. G.
See, its driving you crazy already
A fruity floral that evokes summer… Ah, the novelty!
And I hate that bottle as well. There's something about it that makes me think of egg-yolk and sex-toys, and those are not images I want combined in my head!
Just what we need, ANOTHER fruity- floral headache in a bottle…………YUCK!
It doesn't matter, these Escada seasonals sell like gangbusters. Apparently somebody needs them
Ok, now that is what I see as well. There should be a word for this — a term like “ear worm” — for when you can't shake an association someone else makes with a bottle. I can never see the Alien bottle as anything other than a penguin ever since somebody mentioned the resemblance in the comments…
too true. soo sad, but true.
That bottle is so redundant now. I can't even tell them apart. One has the purple on top, one has it on the bottom, purple with pink, purple and yellow, which is which?? Ask me to choose from a police lineup and I wouldn't be able to.
“Which bottle mugged you?
Hell if I know.
I'd have less of a problem with it if I liked the bottle design to begin with, but this one doesn't happen to attract me. Again, obviously we are in the minority. Guessing Sunset Heat will do well unless it smells considerably worse than the last few Escada seasonals.
Love you for that comment…
oh, goody… more olfactory insult- and Just the perfect season for it, too…
Sunset Heat. SUNSET HEAT?
Good lord. Make it go away.
LOL…Sunset Heat is not getting much love around here…
The marketing could have gone: “It's the fragrance David Hasselhoff would wear”.
LOL…so true.
I used to be a big fellower of the Escada seasonal perfume, but I'm finding myself not wanting to buy them anymore. Like a lot of you said, the bottle is so boring and repetative. I have a few of them line up in my bathroom and I always wonder what's what. >_< I am going to invest my money on something else instead of getting Sunset Heat this year.
I still haven't managed to smell this one, so don't know if it is radically different from prior years or not. In general, most of them are sweeter than I like.
Okay, I'm not going to hate on Escada at all. They are by far my favorite design house for fragrances. However… Island Kiss, Rockin Rio, Pacific Paradise, and Sunset Heat ALL smell EXACTLY the same. Okay, not exactly, but they differ so little, there's no sense in buying them. I mean, it's not a bad fragrance, but they're not really making a new one each year so much as changing the one from last year. It's not worth buying unless you've run out of your previous one.
However
Sunset Heat for men is, of course, FABULOUS! On the surface, it doesn't smell terrible different, but after maybe 5 or 10 minutes the fruit and wood start to blend nicely, and it makes a fruity aquatic fragrance, but it's still masculine. It's very nice.
Interesting, I'll have to give it a try!
Hopefully people buy cologne for the fragrance itself, not the bottle or the name. With that being said, this is the BEST cologne for men that I have ever smelled. Escada managed to capture the perfect combination of florals, fruit, and musk to come up with a sexy, clean, masculine scent. My suggestion is to not judge this fragrance by it's cover or name. It's good stuff.
I liked the men's better than the women's, but didn't love either. But glad you've found a favorite!
Love this perfume! All of Escada’s summer limited editions are very nice and sweet
Very good summer fragrances! Even in winter, you’ll get that summer feeling when using the perfume!
