  1. Very pleasant, especially in the heat. I find it timeless, youthful, and fun, in the Escada line. It doesn’t smell like mango, but rather passion fruit—something tropical and of the same style. The longevity isn’t long, but I use it a lot because the opening is absolutely delicious.

  2. I was tempted by a review claiming it was identical to the Mango with the long black cap, but that’s a lie. It doesn’t resemble it at all; what a letdown. I bought it because I miss that cologne, but this has something too tropical that turns me off.

  3. I decided to try it after a review claimed it smelled like mango—the one with the long black cap—but nope, it doesn’t even resemble it. What a letdown. I bought it hoping to recapture that cologne, but it’s nothing like it. I didn’t like it; it has something overly tropical that just turns me off.

  4. Tropical mess, synthetic, and a bit heady. It lingers on the top notes, especially the passion fruit, and stays linear throughout. The trail is moderate and lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin. If you like fruity and tropical scents, you might enjoy it, but I don’t think the quality justifies the price. It feels childish, just like the packaging. Scent 3/10, longevity 5.5/10, trail 7/10, value 4.5/10, versatility 5/10, packaging 5.5/10. Would I buy it again? No.

    A horrendous fruity kids’ scent. I don’t feel any tropical notes; it’s like a cheap, childish cologne in an outrageously expensive bottle.

    This is a horrendous fruity chihuahua. I don’t feel any tropical vibe; it smells like cheap kids’ cologne in an overly expensive bottle.

    It’s the 25th-anniversary edition of Escada’s summer perfumes and it doesn’t disappoint: passion fruit and raspberry with total joy. A carefree, cheerful aroma for the heat. Longevity is average, like all of Escada’s summer scents; you need to reapply every so often.

    Escada’s summer editions have been my favorites for years, and passion fruit is one of my favorite notes in fruity perfumes, so this sounds great to me. I like it and it has that classic Escada summer vibe: fruity, sweet, but not cloying. Honestly, I never noticed the passion fruit dominating, but next time I’ll pay closer attention.

    I went to a store to try them and didn’t like it :(, some notes felt cloying to me. It’s a rich and fresh scent, yes, but it’s not something I’d wear often. Very sour.

  11. Fruity and rich, yes, almost like peaches in syrup XD, but I wouldn’t wear it for summer; I identify it more with citrus. A note to the nostalgic 90s lovers: it’s very similar to the Mango cologne from those years, with the long black cap and orange triangular box 😉

    I went to a store to try them out and didn’t like it 🙁 One note felt cloying to me. It is rich and fresh, yes, but not something I’d wear often. Very tart.

  13. Haven’t bought anything ESCADA since 2009, and what luck—it smells just like those summer editions with gummy notes I remember. You get a whiff of passionfruit that adds a tart twist, keeping it from being too sweet. It’s perfect for charming people without trying; it reminds me of hot days, the beach, and fresh Caribbean juices. CON: Poor longevity, the sillage is non-existent, and you have to reapply constantly.

  14. Haven’t bought anything from Escada since 2009, but this smells just like those summer editions with the gummy candy scent I’ve been craving. It has a tangy passionfruit note that makes it less sweet, like a sea breeze. Perfect for catching someone off guard; it evokes heat, the ocean, and tropical juices. Cons: it lasts almost nothing and has zero sillage, so you have to reapply constantly.

  15. I don’t know how long it lasts or its sillage, but I smelled it one day while testing colognes with my girlfriend, and it’s simply a spectacular scent, hands down one of the best I’ve ever smelled.

  17. I love it and will definitely be buying it again. Leaves a super pleasant scent.

  18. Almost had a heart attack seeing it in a Chilean store, where it only arrives once a year and then you have to order it from other countries. Honestly, it’s not as good or special as Born in Paradise or Rock in Rio. It’s fine if it’s a gift, but I’d prefer one of the classics.

  19. I don’t like it; it has nothing to do with my idea of summer. Some people might adore it for being super tropical, but for that very reason, I can’t stand it. Exotic fruits and passionflower aren’t my thing. Yes, I know the name was Pista, but I had to try it—it’s the 20th-anniversary limited edition—and I expected something more original and unique. The longevity and sillage are disappointing.

  20. I hate it; it has nothing to do with my idea of summer. Others will love it for being tropical, but it overwhelms me. Exotic fruits and passionflower aren’t my thing. Yes, I know the name was a hint and it’s a limited 20th-anniversary edition, but I expected something more original. The longevity and sillage are disappointing.

    I want it! If you like other Escada scents, you won’t dislike this. It smells like the others but has its own personality. I like all of them for summer—they’re fresh, simple, and delicious. I’ll buy it when I get the chance.
