Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Born in Paradise
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Socal
This cult-favourite '90s mall scent is a nostalgic trip for many, celebrated for its unique tropical-woody blend. However, its notoriously poor performance means it's often more of a personal pleasure or room spray than a serious fragrance.
