Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Taj Sunset EDP
A juicy, sweet mango bomb for those who want to smell like summer in a bottle. Whilst many adore its tropical escapism, expect some to find it unapologetically youthful, even a bit syrupy. Performance is a common gripe, so be ready to reapply for that holiday vibe.

Our Verdict - Royal Dusk For Women EDP
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.
