Escada Rockin' Rio - Anyone Tried This?

[Luthien]

I caught a quick whiff of this at a duty free store the other day and have to admit I kind of liked it. It was fruity, which I like, but not excessively sweet - it had a kind of tart undertone to it. But I just smelled it for a second. Does this hold up? Thanks.

Yes I tried it but I think it smelly similar to the earlier fragrances

 

[Luthien]

I've heard it smells somewhat similar to an earlier Escada perfume as well. Does anyone know what that earlier fragrance is?

 

[user2]

Ibiza Hippie, Island Kiss...nearly every earlier LE fragrance...

Okay, I am *uber* picky about fragrances. There are only about 4 in the world that I can wear... However, I was at Dillard's the other day and one of the fragrance girls gave me a scented Rockin Rio bracelet. It smelled so yummy. At first! After 30 minutes, the scent had really changed, IMO - and NOT for the better.
My cousin bought a small bottle of this and she feels the exact same way about it (and she's nowhere near as picky as me)...
My suggestion, ask for a sample at a counter. See how it holds up on you...

i know its very similar to the other escada perfumes,but its mmmmmmmm i love it!! i have the body lotion and i feel mmmmmmm
hahahahaha. if you have another escada limited edition dont buy it,cos maybe its not worth it.but if you havent tried any of him, go for it!!

It's smells of a citrus fruity/floral fragrance, very energetic and invigorating.

 

[mac_obsession]

Im so buying this in a week or two :X

 

[devilzwind]

personally, i really like rockin' rio, but i'm a fan of most escada fragrances. it's sweet and fruity, but not in a cloying way - in a tropical, refreshing, summery way. it smells heavenly to me! the only con is that escada perfumes don't last very long

hehe, hi - its the cousin.
Seriously, at first sniff its awesome (but not as fab as island kiss, imo) but after the scent dries down, its this weird sweet offensive...weirdness!

I don't really care for it, and I've got a whole bottle! And a body lotion - but suprisingly, the body lotion doesn't have that same effect!

i still have island kiss from last year and i got a backup since i loved it so much, so i don't think i'll be getting rockin' rio. it smells pretty good though. i heard all the limited edition ones usually smell very similar.

 

[Juneplum]

love it! it's a perfect summer scent! it's a really fun, fresh fruity/floral scent...

 

[juicy love]

Yes, I have it. I don't wear it anymore but I still love it. It's very fruity and fresh. But it smells the same as all the other limited edition ones.

 

[daystar]

It's funny... I adored Island Kiss but didn't buy it until I found it at Marshalls for $20 (yay!!!). I still love it, but it does NOT last more than an hour, which is really disappointing

I bought the set of 5 Escada minis that included Island Kiss, Sexy Graffiti, Tropical Punch, Ibiza Hippie, and Rockin' Rio... and they all smell exactly the same to me. I seriously cannot tell the difference. I do like the scent but it has no lasting power whatsoever.

 

[lola336]

i love all the escada perfumes. yes they all do smell very similar..but i can smell a small difference between island kiss and rockin rio....i actually just finished my bottle. i recommend it!

 

[Viva_la_MAC_Girl]

Rockin Rio.. smells really great! I love it!!

 

[disenchanted]

I have both Rockin Rio and Island kiss. They do smell similar, Rockin Rio has a mango smell to it. I always hear how they don't last for people, but on me it lasts forever.
