Smells like fruity-fresh shampoo
If you miss any of the fruity Escada releases from the mid-2000s (Pacific Paradise, Sunset Heat, etc), or some of the lighter/fruity-er Juicy Couture releases, you'll love this. It's soft, fruity, sweet, feminine, and nostalgic. This smells like the 2000s "it girl" perfume - some preppy/popular girl that you'd smell walking past you in your high school hallway on the way to class, wishing you could be as cool as she was.
The pineapple and waterlily notes were actually so well-blended that my first thought when sniffing was "fruity-fresh shampoo", and it even tricked my nose into thinking it might have been a fruity-violet blend. To me it's comforting, but definitely sweet so I can't spray much - so if that's not your thing, maybe try it in one of Hollister's stores first to check how you tolerate it. I think it's perfect for spring - girly, flirty, carefree.
Projects well, longevity is surprisingly great - it's been about 5 hours since spraying and it smells almost as strong as when I first sprayed. For $30, this is a high performer!
