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.
Royal Dusk chases Escada's Taj Sunset - a juicy Alphonso mango and blood-orange opening over watery florals and raspberry, finishing on coconut and musk. The dupe leans a little louder on the sweet tropical fruit, but it actually holds up against the original's famously short wear.
