Born in Paradise Eau de Parfum vs Pavlova Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A joyous, tropical sunshine bomb in a bottle, Born in Paradise is Escada's quintessential summer scent. Despite longevity complaints, most agree it's a mood-lifting blast of vacation vibes, perfect for feeling like you're forever on a beach holiday. Pure escapism, darling.
Skip the dessert, grab this instead. A glorious, juicy pineapple bomb with a creamy, boozy twist, though its namesake is a bit of a misnomer. This one is polarising; some love the tropical sweetness, while others find it too much or too similar to mass-market offerings.
