Born in Paradise

Very sour and fruity, I was so eager and even squeled when saw a tester in store. But... I'm into fruity scents right now and by notes this had to be perfect. It starts really sour-sweet and powerful, like a super concentrated juice with an overdose of lemon acid. My first thought was - oh! That smells pretty cheap! I've smelled cheap fruity fragrances that smell so similar. My boyfriend liked it, but what does he know about a good scent xD The question here is - where is the guava? I don't smell it here. [I actually can detect it now lurking somewhere when I actually wear the scent] Too bad, but overall this scent is wearable and pleasant. I quite like it and think of purchasing this perfume. It reminds me of pink Oriflame's Aloha, that's why I want it. It's like a lush version of Aloha. + Pleasant fruity scent Longlasting Has powerful sillage Likeable to other people - Similar to previous LE (based on what others say) There are alternatives And a con for me personally - costs 74 eur in Europe?? It goes for 70 bucks in the US :( UPD. Initially it can disappoint, but... I actually shelled 70 euro for a big bottle of this (always wanted one of Escada's LE, but all were not too tempting to me for years and I wanted something a la Pacific Paradise etc.) and when you wear it it's just so yummy, so much better than when I first tested it. Sour apple and pineapple so crispy and cheerful, and the coconut is really mellow and captivating. I can't get enough. The lasting power is good on me. When it gets to the base it is somewhat multivitamin juice like, but still very exotic and lush. If you like sweet perfumes you'll love this as well. It tickles my nose and makes me more hungry than I am. P.S. Is not similar to Tahitian Holiday, I've had two bottles of that, not at all.

One of the better more recent Escada Summer releases in my opinion. I tend to like them regardless but there is something about this one that is so delicious! I get the creamy coconut, fruity pineapple and the unusual guava mostly, and it’s so good. Really reminiscent of somewhere tropical and faraway, imagine sipping a coconut cocktail on a palm fringed beach in the heat of the day at a shaded beach bar with the sound of the sea lapping the sand. It’s beautiful. I do think it could get sickly, but as usual for these perfumes the longevity isn’t great, lasts an hour, maybe two on me tops before I feel the need to respray so this isn’t really an issue. I only have a 30ml bottle of this and it’s hard to find so I’m using it sparingly! The bottle is the usual shape for these editions and is a beautiful teal blue/green colour, which reminds me of swimming in the Caribbean. Gorgeous for summer.

Oh escada is on of my favorite perfume houses out there right now. They sure know how to capture the essence of summer in a bottle time after time! This one is no different and this is limited edition so I suggest if you like summary beachy fragrances then you better pick this up before they discontinue it! :( that's the only sad part about escada is they make a New Fragrance every year but it is limited edition so they are only out for about a year, but anyway onto the juice. On first spray I detect lots of coconut which I am obsessed with might I add but it mixed with the watermelon and pineapple it amazing it's one of my top 5 scents this year!!! I love it . But that's kinds all I detect is very fruity and milky scent perfect for summer. And the bottle am I the only person who loves the escada bottles they are everything! 11/10

Exactly what the name suggests: carefree days sunbathing on hot white sand with a nice pina colada in your hand; the warm breeze wafts the scent of the sweetest tropical fruits and life is so easy. This was probably my first "big-girl" fragrance buy as I bought it from a boutique on my trip in Germany (30ml). When I returned home, my father bought me a 50ml as my high school graduation present. It was my go-to scent that I would throw into my bag for my trips to the beach. It is heavenly and nostalgic. I am turning a lot towards nostalgia as I get older and am finding extreme comfort in the simpler things I used to covet. I plan to use this as my main perfume for when my mom and I go on our kayaking trips this summer. I am looking forward to adding even more memories to this beautiful scent. <3

I;ve never thought that I would buy full bottle of Escada. I always found all great smelling, but never really wanted to spend money on them. But GOD this one was love at first sniff and I needed to have it. As I tested it with my bro, we laughed because it reminds us on Hubba Bubba bubble gums we loved as kids. It;s so "free" and yummy. It evokes some childhood memories and somehow the feeling of freedom. It;s sweet, juicy and milky - the coconut and little "airy" or better said aquatic - probably the watermelon. Damn it;s just limited. It;s addictive and will be good for all occasions. Longevity and sillage are imo great. You scored ESCADA!! :-D
