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 - Hot Blue For Women EDP
Hot Blue recreates Escada's limited-edition Turquoise Summer - that juicy pineapple-strawberry-rhubarb tropical sweet that vanished from shelves. The dupe captures the fun, fruity-creamy signature closely and, in oil form, actually outlasts the original's modest five-hour wear. A cheerful, affordable summer fruit-bomb and a handy stand-in for a discontinued Escada.
