I mad a trip to Mito city by a car to but ESCADA Lily Chic Eau de Toilette.
On the way, there was a gasoline stand, which sell gasoline 88 yen/litre, with a caption of "next generation low pollution car fuel". This price is 10 % cheaper, than normal 100 yen/litre (1 dollar/litre). A service man said fuel is diluted with an alcohol. This is a reason why it is cheap, because of lower tax of alcohol.
At Mito, I went to Keisei department, which is said most prestigious in the area, and asked about Escada.
Nobody knew the Escada brand, and then same question was asked at next Isejin department store.
I found finally a lady, who remember Escada brand, saying "They used to be here, but not now, and please go to Marui department near Mito station".
After walking a street 20 minutes to Marui, I finally found a perfume corner inside department store.
A sale lady at there didn't know the Escada brand, and said we have no goods with name of Escada.
I had a news of Esacada Lily Chic, from a friend of "Uranium glass friendship club", saying that a normal perfume shop has Escada brands". And surveying the shop shelves, I found yellow-green colored Lily Chic. The price was 4500 yen + 5% tax for 30ml bottle.
I almost asked 10 ladies about Escada, and only one knew the brand name.

Story after the shopping
Comments from "Uranium glass friendship club"
1.ESCADA will be minor brand. uBook of perfumev mentions no ESCADA.
2.ESCADA is a ultra rich brand in Germany. Shops of ESCADA are so gorgeous to make an entry difficult.
3.In Japan, dress of ESCADA is still minor. But in Europe, it is famous and expensive shops display ESCADA brand usually. A jacket of ESCADA costs more than 200,000-300,000 yen.
