Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Agua del Sol EDP
Escada's Agua del Sol is a proper fruit cocktail in a bottle - pure summer in a spray. It's a delightful, if fleeting, burst of fun that's well-loved for its tropical sweetness, though some find it a bit too young or aggressively peppery.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bright Water For Women EDP
A budget take on Escada Agua del Sol. Bright Water reproduces the playful ice-cream-and-berry summer-gourmand signature, pushing the sweet fruit louder while longevity stays modest, much like the airy limited-edition original.
