Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Born in Paradise EDT
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.

Our Verdict - Heavenly Birth EDP
Heavenly Birth chases Escada's Born in Paradise - that carefree tropical-fruity summer scent of pineapple and coconut over juicy guava and melon. It captures the mouth-watering fruity signature well, and since the original is already a light, skin-close scent, the dupe's modest performance feels true to character.
