EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW! My Dad bought me this on the way back from holiday and although the bottle is absolutely gorgeous and looks lovely on my dresser the smell is disgusting! Sickly dewberry type smell (I hate dewberry- it smells like someone trying to cover up B.O!) that makes me feel physically sick! I haven't told my Dad though! Bless him!

This Escada scent belongs very much to the fruity, shampoo-scented, cocktail floral grouping, but there’s an added twist of a cucumber or aquatic note (most likely from the melon) that keeps this just the right side of sweet. I was surprised to like it, but I do – it’s so youthful and generic I almost find it voyeuristically thrilling. There is no doubt to me that this is the kind of scent girls might wear to a nightclub in Newquay, or Freshers might douse themselves with at the university disco, but also, there is something Beverly Hills about it, being such a good concoction for its ilk, that makes me think of preppy teens applying makeup in their impossibly glamorous ensuite bathrooms.

I've repurchased this perfume several times- it has a lovely fruity light scent which is perfect for the summer. Staying power it average (about 3-4 hours or so I find?) Packaging is nice.

This is a nice sweet fragrance with tropical notes consisting of coconuts, bananas, limes and some non-descript berries. It is one of the few perfumes I have ever actual finished a whole bottle of, however that may be due to the fact that it doesn't have much lasting power. Nonetheless, Escada's fragrances are meant to be light "beach" scents so I wouldn't expect that they would be super strong, though that would be nice. Nonetheless, this is truly a great tropical scent and it would be hard to find someone who would truly dislike it. Would be excellent as a strong body/hair/clothing mist.

This is fruity and really pleasing. A mix of citrus and floral scents. Definitely one of my HG perfumes. I just wish it would last longer - this one lasts 4 hours at the most.

I have this and sunset heat. They both have a similar citrussy tropical vibe. I marginally prefer this as its juicy without being as harsh but I like both. It doesn't last, once the top notes have spun off (in an hour), theres not much left but I like to spritz it about to cheer myself up.

I got it discounted. I'm not sure it's worth the full price when it's so ephemeral. (The Escada LEs are always much cheaper if you can wait six months).

I love this so much!!!! Personally,I think its more unique than other escada perfumes. It smells like bananas and limes to me, really fruity and yummy. However I I wouldn't buy this again because it doesn't last 5 minutes on me, like other perfumes.

My absolute FAVORITE summer perfume. It is seriously the perfect tropical island scent. Took one lippie off because the lasting power sucks.

Yet another Escada fragrance I wanted to love (I'm always hopeful and optimistic about fragrances) but alas...

Daytime happy, chill, beachy scent. Fruity (but not overpowering) melony mandarin to tangerine spiked with pineapple. A wonderful drink on a quieter beach day. Drydown concludes with a softer fruity powered note. PERFECT for my teenage niece... when I give her this bottle it will make her day!

I really really love love love the Escada LE perfumes, its true what others have said, this perfume is the least "teen" smelling of the Escada bunch. With that said, the scent reminds me of shampoo it smells kinda like chemicals on my skin. I will still wear it because the fruity fragrance is appealing to my SO and like every other guy that crosses my path, but when I really take the scent in, especially after an hour or so, it smells like shampoo (on my skin)..not. that. great. The lasting power, for me at least, is amazing 6 hours minimum.

Guh, I LOVE the fruity scent of Pacific Paradise. Sometimes you need something just fun and fabulous to wear, and this scent is it. When I first spray it, everyone always compliments me (the boys always seem to like it) but after the first couple of hours, it's gone. No staying power whatsoever. But I wish it did. With the body lotion and the perfume on top, it stays on for a little longer, but I find that I still have to reapply throughout the day if I still want to smell like it.

I got Sunset Heat before this one. (My brother gave me this for Christmas. :P ) Personally, I like Sunset Heat better, but this one smells nice as well. I tend to adore fruity/tropical/summer-y scents, so in that respect, this definitely did not disappoint. :]

LOL I already reviewed this, but this is my new username, so I had to show Pacific Paradise some love again! This is one of my favorite summer time fragrances. Juicy lime, banana, coconut, and watermelon make up this fragrance. If you don't like fruity, I wouldn't recommend this. Don't worry though, it isn't too sweet that it comes off as childish. Plenty of adults have told me that they love the fragrance I'm wearing. As for lasting power...it isn't very long...maybe only 4 hours. After that, only I and my SO can smell it anymore because no one gets that close to me to smell it on my chest. I don't care though...I love this fragrance too much to take off a lippie for that.

Love love love this fragrance. Especially for the summer time. When you first spray it, it has notes of slight vanilla, lemon, watermelon, lime, coconut, banana, and some tropical florals. The drydown is all fruit. It lasts a decent amount of time too. I went to mysimon.com and got the best price. I got a 3.4oz bottle for only $37! So...if you want a good summer perfume, I'd highly recommend. The blue and pink bottle is so girly and fun! My SO loves it as well, so that is a big bonus ;}

Although I do enjoy this fruity floral, it does not last on me, and eventually gives me a headache. My husband loves it though.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fragrance. I smell like a delicious but sophisticated fruit cocktail when I wear this, hehe. I would love to buy another bottle but unfortunately it's limited edition from a few summers ago. I give it a 4 instead of a 5 because of the staying power (not very good) but since it is a summer fragrance, I do appreciate the light staying power because in the summer, the scent I find DOES last longer. I don't wear this fragrance in the winter - instead, I wear Fantasy by Britney Spears (really, it smells great!) or Tendre Poision by Christian Dior

This was the first escada perfume I ever purchased. I LOVED it and wore it everyday. It smells great. It has a more fruity smell to it. When I went to buy it again though they werent selling that one in the big bottle I guess because it's seasonal. So I went on to try other perfumes and no longer wear escada.
