What do reviewers say about Taj Sunset and Heat Rush?

This is Escada's sweetest, most unapologetically tropical work, mango and coconut over everything. If that's the lane you live in, this is the end of the road.Taj Sunset

Heat Rush doesn't shout. It stays close, warm, and tropical, mango blossom sweetness that lingers for hours on skin without ever turning into a statement.Heat Rush
