This ESCADA Marine Grove sample came in a postcard through airmail this morning. It was a surprise as I have totally forgotten that I have requested for it. And even if I do remember, I would not have expected it to arrive this soon.

Compared to the earlier ESCADA Desire Me and Incredible Me parfum samples that I received in a similar fashion in late November, 2009, this one took just 2.5 weeks to arrive from the day of request. The earlier two samples took something like 2.5 months! That’s a huge difference!

Unlike both Desire Me and Incredible Me, without opening the small Marine Groove sample pack at the back of the postcard, there isn’t any distinct fragrance at all that I could tell but I am just a collector and not a user so these samples will be left unopened, forever.

I have to admit that I wouldn’t have found the motivation to blog if not for Facebook giving 101 error messages that I can’t play my games this morning and the fact that I am waiting for my download of episode 25 of Beyond the Realm of Conscience to complete. But these two postcards came at the right time, I guess, or I would have procrastinated. God knows my blog is in need of more content!

Here are two postcards that I received this morning from Escada but these aren’t ordinary postcards. On the flip side, you can see they have attached a small packet of fragrance sample. These are supposed to be the latest fragrances by Escada but I remember requesting for one sample, I have forgotten which one, on the first week of September, 2009, so they probably aren’t that new anymore.

One fragrance is called “Desire Me” while the other one is called “Incredible Me”, hence the title of my post. I used to collect a lot of such parfum samples, though I don’t use them. What I do with them is to keep them together with letter pads and greeting cards so that they will smell nice. I no longer do that because I send email more than I write a traditional letter now, like everyone else.
