Agua del Sol

It’s super spicy on me, mostly pink pepper and sandalwood with just a hint of a fruity soap scent. I'm pretty let down because it's not the sweet fruitiness I was expecting—a bit odd. I'll give it a thumbs up since it's not terrible, but it doesn't work for me at all. I won't be repurchasing. I might not even use it again, though I feel like giving it another shot come summer. But I think it's probably a chemistry thing, since others have said it's nothing like what they expected.

I really like both Escada Agua del Sol and DKNY's Dreamsicle. Escada has a vibrant, juicy fruit scent that feels sunny and fun, almost like a refreshing summer cocktail. On the other hand, DKNY's Dreamsicle is lighter and more powdery, reminiscent of peach ice cream but with a hint of yogurt for depth. While both are enjoyable, Escada feels more complex and lively without coming across as too playful. It’s got that perfect balance of sophistication and fun.

I usually enjoy Escada's summer editions, but Fiesta Carioca and the latest Summer Edition have really let me down. There’s this harsh note at the end that I can’t stand—it feels overpowering and ruins what would otherwise be a pleasant scent. It makes me sad to say it, but I’d rather wear something else. The musk is just not working for me, and it’s overshadowing all the other nice notes. Bring back Ibiza Hippie and Tropical Punch while you’re at it—this one’s a pass for me.

This perfume doesn’t hold on for very long and has a weak sillage. It reminds me of lemon sorbet.

This is a comforting elixir for the spirit—something I adore, even during the harsh winters in North Norway. Upon reflection, it perfectly captures the essence of winter, offering a comforting embrace.
