Pacific Paradise

MY COUSIN STOLE MY FAVORITE PERFUME When I was 10 years old, my parents took me perfume shopping. The store lady kept recommending me Disney princesses, SpongeBob, Dora the Explorer, and Shrek. The lady recommended my mom Escada Pacific Paradise, and after she sprayed it..... It made me love perfume for the first time. My parents got it for me, and I was so happy. I loved it so much that I barely wore it. I was afraid of using it all up. When I was 15, I moved to Thailand and even kept the bottle in the fridge to protect it from the heat. One day, my older cousin came over and looked through our perfume collection. She commented on how much she loved my favorite perfume. The day she left... it disappeared. I searched everywhere. I cried over that bottle more than I'd like to admit... lol it wasn't just a perfume, it was a memory from my childhood. For years, I couldn't find anything that made me feel the way that fragrance did. Now I'm 29, and I still can't find anything that smells exactly this one... Duck you, Joy. Update: 🥹 I GOT ITTTTT My bf found a Japanese seller who has an unused OG Bottle !!!! The first spray came flooding in so many good memories It smells exactly how I remembered it !!!!! ❤️

Who's lurking here again because you're obsessed and feeling nostalgic, especially with summer coming up? (Me!) I found a dupe at TJ Maxx! Curations by The Good Scent - Apricot Nectar for $16.99 (cube bottle with like a round, dark/dusty rosewood colored cap). When I first sprayed it, I was like, "...Escada!! ..Moon Sparkle??" Then I saw lime, banana, and sugar listed on the bottle, and I was like, "That's right, Pacific Paradise, even better!!" Top: Apricot Nectar, Sun Kissed Lime, Ripe Banana Middle: Sugar Cane, Magnolia Blossom, Juniper Berry Base: Pine Musk, Creamy Sandalwood Good luck finding it 🤞 Buyer beware, the dupe's longevity on skin is... not too good. But on another note, one of the newer summer Escadas is pretty close (Santorini Sunrise). It's a little more mellow, but is still very "sparkly", which is how I view Pacific Paradise haha

I absolutely adored this. It's everything good about summer vacation all in one bottle. It's fruity, sexy, amazing. I bought bottle after bottle of this until the last time I got one off of ebay it had started smelling funny. Not sure if it was because my ditzy mailman rode around with it in his car for 3 days or what, but I was heartbroken. I can't believe they discontinued it. This is one of my top 3 fragrances ever. I would be careful about blind buying, simply because it's been discontinued for so long it may have turned. I would hate for someone to get a bottle and not be able to enjoy it in all it's original glory.

I was able to obtain a sample of this and fell in love. Unfortunately that was two years ago and I have been unable to find a full size for sale or even another sample. At first I smell sweet and refreshing tropical flowers and apple with hints of candy and pineapple. It immediately gives me a sense of lying by the beach with the cool water running over my feet at the shore. It then starts to get a musky dry down with hints of the coconut and sandalwood. Its like an exotic drink that quenches your nose. I Love love love and hate that I am unable to find it. My only other wish is that it would last a bit longer.

My mom would get us all of the annual Escada limited edition fragrances- but out of the 8-10 I had... I have such nostalgic cravings for this specific one. In high school I would absolutely douse myself in this fragrance everyday, and got so many compliments. To this day all of my buddies from childhood say they remember how good I always smelled. It is the absolute epitome of "juicy"- like only Escada can do, without being synthetic or grossly sweet. I wish I could find an authentic throw back bottle! Let me know if you're selling :)
