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

The mental imagine I get from the first sniff is pretty much how the picture is on the box. This is a beachy type of fragrance. Meaning if you like the smell of sun screen (not that it smells LIKE sun screen, but because it reminds of you where you would smell it) and fruity notes, you will definitely like this. This isn’t an overdone kind of sweet, BUT I love heavy sweetness and heavy florals in my fragrances. So if your taste doesn’t agree with what I said, test this first. The only reason why you shouldn’t wear this is if you don’t like it. Everyone who smells you will be delighted

I was surprised to see a escada perfume at chemist warehouse and was even more surprised it was only 23 dollars for a 100 ml bottle so I purchased this as a blind buy because I have liked escada perfumes in the past and this didn’t disappoint,it’s a very beachy type fragrance and you definitely smell coconut and the juicy pineapple notes,I don’t really smell watermelon in this but it is still a lovely tropical scent,the longevity in this is ok but you probably need to spray on more after 3 to 4 hours but overall I think this is another nice escada fragrance and glad I purchased it.

This is an amazing tropical scent that I can't get enough of. Creamy coconut, pineapple, guava....paradise indeed! But let's face it, this is just a glorified body spray. Longetivity is practically non existent so bring it with you to quick spray whenever you feel like smelling it again. These weak limited edition scents Escada keeps releasing is so aggravating. I think they can make some really fun tropical and floral scents but what's the point in buying them if they last only an hour. Add some intensity, Escada and I will actually purchase your fragrances!

I bought this - on a whim - when it first came out in 2014. My friends and I were flying to Dublin for a girly St. Patricks Day weekend. We were at the airport in Bristol, when I realised I had forgotten my perfume. I popped into the Duty Free shop and saw this on a feature table. I just grabbed a bottle and went with it. One of the best on the spot purchases I ever made. I got compliments on it all weekend. My hubby even complimented me on it when he picked me up at the airport. Seven years later and I am still wearing it. I absolutely adore it!

A Piña Colada!!! Exactly for summery, warm days when you want to appear on a tropical island. I was able to distinguish the coconut smell among all the other fruits at the first sniff. This perfume has some kind of creamy accent which I am not a huge fan of, however it is not too strong and it is probably the coconut that soothes this for me. Also because of watermelon and pineapple I think I also get that dusty airy feeling, and still it is in no way overwhelming, so I totally enjoy the whole experience. I got quite a lot of compliments on this.

My first thought was this was just another sunscreen scented perfume, but I asked for a sample at sephora in spite of it. And then I found myself wearing the sample every day until it was gone. When you wear it, the brashness dissipates and you get this mild coconut water pineappley warm scent that doesnt overpower you. It doesnt last long, but then you catch hints of it here and there later in the day. Actually, I decided after a week of trying it that i loved it, and better just go back and get the big bottle before it's discontinued.

To me this is one of the best escada summer fragrances by far. That coconut note and the watermelon stand so much and it is mouthwatering. It is a perfect summer fragrance, specially on those heat days when you just want to smell fruity and light. The lasting power obviously is very limited, but you can't expect much for the price it has. Smells like tropical sunscreen or piña colada. I loved it so much for so long. I don't have it anymore but i remember how much i used to wear it when i was younger on warm summer days here in Spain.

One word.... "SUMMER" ... if you could bottle summer and put it in a bottle it would be this fragrance. I spritzed myself with this at my local Sephora and smelled it all day long while I was shopping. It is a GEM! I will definitely be buying this and wearing it for the summer time. The pineapple and coconut remind me of laying out on the beach. There is a slight hint of musk and cedar that are extremely far in the back . "Laying out on the beach in a wooden chair just soaking up the beautiful sunlight!"

I have to admit I have never smelled an Escada scent and I've only smelled this on a strip but jeeze does it smell good! I will hunt this down and skin test it, I hope it smells just as good on skin as it does on paper (some do some don't). This would be an excellent summer scent, I love coconut and that is the main note I smell. Going to Ulta asap to give this a spritz. Edited to add: duh, I have tried Escada scents before I liked Magnetism, though that one did smell better on the paper strip.

This perfume is BEAUTIFUL!!! Summer paradise in a bottle! Sweet, milky coconut with juicy pineapple, guava and a little bit of musk. Mmmmmm, so delicious. Lasted about 5 hours on my skin and had great sillage. I am very impressed with Escada fragrances; they capture youth, fun and happy times in a bottle. Overall, an amazing perfume that puts me in a happy, sunny mood. Yes this isn't a serious fragrance but sometimes you want to smell fun and carefree! Highly recommended!

This was my signature scent in middle school and the scent that kick-started my fragrance hobby. I wish they would bring this one back. I remember asking the sales person for this fragrance when it was still sold in stores, but as I couldn't remember anything but the design I asked for "the Lana Del Rey's fragrance" because the girl in the packaging looked like Lana to me and the name sounded a bit too similar to "Born to die". She didn't know what I meant.

Out of the 3 Escada fragrances I own, this one is probably my favourite. It's very tropical, without being too sweet. It's like most Escada scents, which are bright, fruity, in your face and playful. This one is nice for summer during the day or at night, I find it has a nice dry down that isn't too daytime. I can really smell the coconut and fresh juicy tropical fruits. It's been a good scent on me, I just wish this one lasted longer like my other ones.

This is a beautiful Escada scent,in this fragrance the coconut stay fresh,and doesnt overpowering! At first it was fruity with the coconut in the background,but then a few minutes later the coconut realy stands out but with fruits and do a perfect scent for summer,ready for holiday,sun,beach! I love love love this fragrance its just my ultimate ticket to paradise what I going to use this summer! Love iiit,love love love

Born in Paradise... to me, it really gives off the vibes of it's name. Whenever i wear this fragrance i feel like i'm on a holiday in Maldives, maybe in Hawaii, maybe another tropical island idk. It has been my favorite fragrance to wear (especially in summer) for years. A perfect summer scent, kinda smells like Pina Colada and coconut, ofc with the notes of salt and sea. So sad to see that it has been discontinued.

If you’re searching for the perfect tropical fruity fresh tangy vibe, go no further. This is absolute lusciousness in a bottle. I ADORE it literally want to be bathing in it. Sooo perfectly balanced for that exotic fruity vibe. If you like me love Saltworks L’eau tropicale this is very similar. Tangy creamy fruity gorgeousness. If only it lasted longer (and it does, if you buy the dupe with extra essence from Shobi)
