Quick answer: Hawaiian Crush is the fruity-tea one: lychee, red fruits and black tea over rose and lily of the valley, finishing on amber, patchouli, musk and incense, and it works from spring into autumn. Paradise is full-on tropical: coconut, pineapple, pear and mandarin over frangipani, jasmine and lily, with amber, vanilla and woods, for summer. Both are 50 ml extraits.
Mykonos Hawaiian Crush and Mykonos Paradise both take their mood from tropical islands: Hawaii for one, a Caribbean beach lined with Balinese frangipani for the other. The fruit they use, and what sits underneath it, is very different.

How Hawaiian Crush and Paradise differ

Paradise opens with coconut, mandarin, pear and pineapple, the brand's nod to an ice-cold piña colada. The heart of frangipani, jasmine and lily is creamy and white-floral, and the base of amber, vanilla and woods keeps it warm and sunny.
Hawaiian Crush is rated Moderate, is unisex and is listed for autumn, spring and summer. Paradise is rated Strong, sits in the For Her collection and is listed for summer only. The brand handbook lists 10+ hours for Hawaiian Crush and 9+ hours for Paradise.
