Bali Paradise

Escada Bali Paradise truly took me back to being 17. It has this beautiful nostalgic vibe that reminds me of the Escada fragrances from around 2007 and 2008. It really captures that same light, joyful, summery DNA. At first spray, I get a juicy burst of sweet melon, then it softens into a gentle mango, and interestingly I even catch a fresh, slightly watery cucumber note. It feels like the scent actually unfolds on the skin, which makes it even more enjoyable. Overall, it is very pleasant, light, and effortless to wear. The kind of fragrance that simply makes you feel good. I was genuinely surprised by how much I love it. If you enjoy classic Escada scents or the fruity releases from that era, I highly recommend trying this. Definitely a safe blind buy.

I am very sceptic to either pithaya or strelizia having much scent. That said, i LOVE this one. It is a rather non-sweet fruity scent. If the fruitiness is tropical? I feel it is rather close to both Cape Gooseberry (Physalis) and Sea buckthorn, with contributions from what appears as in equal parts mandarin peel, watermelon bubble gum and tart, dried mango. Thanks to the mandarin peel effect, this goes in my christmas holiday rotation. Otherwise, this is what a very impressive boss lady would wear to an evening out in summertime. But, it feels just right for a barefoot + fluttery dress summer dream as well. Best Escada ever?

Es una fragancia súper juvenil. Aunque varian las notas, me recuerda mucho a la dulzura y lo frutal/tropical de Champagne Toast. Me ha durado en piel cerca de unas 4 horas, con una proyección corta. Pero el delicioso aroma lo vale, detecto un poco de mango a su salida, sandía y una fruta ligeramente acida, como naranja (mi percepción). Luego te quedas con el olor dulce a caramelo de frutas (un mix de fresas + frutas tropicales, mango nuevamente, muy azucarado), no le siento la madera de sándalo para nada. Es ideal para jóvenes y a quien guste de aromas dulces afrutados.

I took this scent with me on a recent trip to Bali (it would’ve been silly not to), and it’s exactly what you want from a tropical summer fragrance. It’s fun, fruity and has a light, breezy feel that works beautifully in the humidity. Think of it as a tropical cocktail in perfume form - playful and uplifting. If it had notes of frangipani and a hint of incense, it would be the perfect Bali scent. Still, it captures the holiday mood brilliantly and makes me feel happy when I wear it.

GORGEOUS! Another wonderful fruity ambrosia from Escada. Juicy and sweet in the best way possible. (my fave LE Escadas are Taj Sunset and Agua del Sol, this is more similar vibe to Sunset). no green notes, thank the universe. They are back in the game with this one and the more recent blue bottle. For a while they lost a plot for me, cause Maiami blossom (and some others in that time) was way too flowery leaning and turned a bit bitter on me as some florals can get.

I love this scent, it smells like watermelon or even cantaloupe but definitely a melon! I love that. 💖 I have almost all the Escada limited editions and this one is now one of my favorites because it's unique with that watermelon scent that I love so much! Definitely a sunny day-type of a fragrance that you can wear to the beach, out of a warm day or to a daytime event during the summer or late spring.

DD picked up a bottle of this at a duty free somewhere in northern Europe. It smells really nice! It's tart, fresh, juicy, and a tiny bit powdery, A bit heavier than some of Escada's other offerings in this line. Don't know about longevity yet. Will update...

So yummy. It’s a warm, fruity, and a bit spicy underneath. It’s a bit sexy and nostalgic of summer and sun dresses. I would have looked for this to have more sillage, longevity, and projection. It’s one of my favorites of the Escada limited editions.

You could probably have guessed this was an Escada fragrance even if you didn't know. Typically fruity, young, fun and flirty. Edit after first time wear: This is soooo long lasting. I can still smell this after 15 hours! The drydown is delicious.

I purchased a test sample and oh wow!! Super tropical and juicy. I imagine a hot day at the beach, wearing a sexy summer dress and slurping on cocktails Escadas summer fragrances don’t dissapoint

Oh my god. This is the most delicious smelling perfume I've ever smelled! I want to drink it. I agree that it's similar to Flor del Sol but waaaayy better.

Smells like A Basic Escada summer special. If you like then you'll love this ❤️ Sweet and fresh, like all the others so far 🙂🙂

Absolutely gorgeous scent with a very warm and soft dry down.

As an old school Escada fan (sexy graffiti & Ibiza hippie were my favourites), I will pick up any new Escada if I find it at a good price point. I was disappointed in my last 2 or 3 ESCADAS. They’re still on my shelf without a dent in them. I was optimistic with this purchase but also realistic that new ESCADAS don’t live up to their ancestors and also that my taste and preference has changed. I really like this perfume, it does have that signature Escada summer smell. It’s a relatively safe blind buy for anyone who loves fruity, tropical summer scents. I don’t pick up anything in particular though, it’s like a mango cocktail if anything. It actually smells a lot like “Pepe jeans cocktail”. I will say that whilst it’s inoffensive it may be too sweet for some and it leans a little sickly for me BUT the good and bad thing is that its longevity is poor. So it doesn’t stick around long enough to become unbearably sickly sweet. It’s kinda generic but you do get that Escada DNA smell which I’ve missed with other newer ones. If you like the classic ESCADAS, I’d say it’s a safe buy but it is pretty generic and is missing the X factor the older ones have.

Having lived in and traveled to Bali several times, I would have expected a fragrance called Bali Paradise to feature some frangipani that is omnipresent on the island. Instead, Bali Paradise smells like a fruit cocktail that could be associated with any tropical destination. When I first tested this fragrance in store, I could have sworn that it contains mango. However, I also realized that other fragrances that supposedly contain strelitzia, such as Nirmala Limited Edition by Molinard, smell like mango to me, so it could be that aroma chemical. Bali Paradise itself smells tropical fruity, slightly sweet and crowd pleasing. Relating it to Bali, it smells like one of those body sprays you can buy in many of the small shops there or like a tropical cocktail at sunset in one of the resorts.

I bought this specifically as a vacation scent, not something I'd necessarily wear day to day. I first need to complain that the 10ml bottle I had came with a ROLLER BALL (not specified anywhere on Notino, where I'd bought it), so it may affect my review. It's a feel-good scent, not complex at all, it really puts me in a good mood when I smell it on myself, because others definitely can't. Either way it was a pleasant surprise. It smells quite synthetic (something that didn't put me off as much as I'd thought), fruity and creamy, yet not coconut-y or cloying. I was really glad because usually coconut notes go 'greasy' on my skin after a bit (I've tested Angel Goddess, Flowerbomb Tiger Lily). I wish I could smell the dry down better though (I don't get sandalwood or green notes at all).

This was a nostalgic blast from my teens and 20s, a very typical and fun Escada scent experience! It smells very fruity and tropical in the first few moments, then softly tropical floral and then she is gone. That was always the case back in the day and they are still super fun and fleeting fragrances to this day. I found a 1oz etd cheap on joma shop that came with a matching scarf for about $24. It's definitely blind buy safe if you've enjoyed other summery Escada fragrances but if you don't want to spend much on a very short-lived scent I would go for the gift sets. I will probably just use this one for on the way to the pool or beach since it only has less than an hour of longevity

Long time Escada lover here. Ordered this recently and it is a nice fragrance for summer. It doesn't compare to the OGs like Ibiza Hippie, Taj Sunset, Sunset Heat, or Rockin Rio, but I like it! This one is very sweet and fruity. Has a nice creamy and tropical vibe to it. Like most Escada fruity perfumes, they don't have the best lasting power, but it is decent. I tend to spray these like 7 or 8 times all over my body and clothes to get it to last longer. If you like fruity scents, give this one a try! You seriously can't beat the price either.

At first I thought it reminded me of Anisha by Elle as in smelling like wild strawberries and slightly aquatic. Then I thought that while it’s in the same cheerful summertime genre as the other two Escadas I’ve got, they are different enough. Then I thought, wait a minute, this is actually close to Flor del Sol, which is also by Nathalie Lorson. Lasted on skin for at least four hours. A fruity delight! Loving the colour.

Very green and aquatic in my opinion. Escada Summer edition indeed, quite fruity and nice in beginning. Mango/peach vibe in opening, then settle very similar to how jungle BS fantasy smell on me. Its quite nice and I will guess fresh and sweet for summer, but too close for the jungle fantasy i own to buy. I do however like it, and for an escada summer release its actually decent in longevity and sillage :)
