Escapade is a word that came into Russian from French. In this language, it has a double meaning: firstly, an escapade is a kind of prank, a prank, and secondly, a secret escape, an escape.

In Russian, this word has taken root for a long time. Writers of the XIX-XX centuries used a rather interesting borrowing in their work. For example: "… only recklessness can undertake an escapade against this fortress" (L. M. Serebryakov, 1845). Or: “Still, I don’t like all these escapades. There must be a measure in everything”(A. N. Arbuzov, 1950). Here the word "escapade" is nothing more than a reckless escapade, an excessive, dashing trick, an attack.

Bold fragrance

For Givenchy perfumers, the word inspired the image of a light, young, reckless girl, dreamy and extravagant. Therefore, in 2010, the new eau de toilette created was named Reve d'Escapade. According to customers, the Givenchy perfume - Escapade - fully justifies its name. In this concept, they put the same meaning as the specialists of the perfume company: an extravagant, unexpected, bold act. That is, the fragrance evokes just such a feeling.

Here, most likely,combined both meanings of the word: firstly, "flight", and secondly, "a bold act." The literal translation of the name of toilet water from French means "dream of a secret escape." It's about a daring journey that will open up a new world, change like the fresh flower wind of spring.
