Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dot Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive little thing; people either love its youthful, fruity floral charm or dismiss it as generic and fleeting. It's a sweet, clean, inoffensive vibe for those who want a light, easy reach, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.

Our Verdict - Nectar de Costa Rica Eau de Toilette

This is Escada's classic summer vibe in a bottle - tropical, fruity, and fun. It's a delightful, playful scent for sun-drenched days, though expect a familiar journey rather than a groundbreaking one. Some find it a bit too similar to past releases, but fans of the genre will still love it.

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile, coupled with often-reported moderate to low longevity and sillage, makes it ideal for office, casual, and even gym wear. It's not assertive enough for formal events or a truly impactful date night scent.
