I recently rediscovered one of my favourite perfumes that I
used to wear in high school. It’s called Rockin’ Rio by Escada.
If you like scents that are fruity, tropical, sweet and citrusy
then you will definitely enjoy this one.
Rockin’ Rio reminds me of a signature scent of summer. It takes me to
the beach with all the sunshine and plays it up with the scent of fruity
cocktails.
The top notes include pineapple, sweet mandarin orange, and
papaya, followed by juicy peach and sugar cane as the middle notes. The base
notes are dominated by coconut, sandalwood and musk. Overall, I would say this
perfume is more of a daytime perfume because the notes are a little more
playful than flirty.
As you can see I have a little bit remaining in the bottle. A
while ago I realized that this scent was actually limited edition so that it
was unavailable to repurchase unless I looked around. However, I recently saw
that Rockin’ Rio has been re-released as a limited edition scent again- just in
time for the summer!
The apparent difference is the bottle, which remains the
same shape, but the texture is more smooth and the colours do not have the same
gradient effect from fluorescent pink to yellow. Instead we see a bright orange
to yellow gradient with the bottom of the bottle transparent.
Rockin’ Rio is available for $61 at Shopper Drug Mart for a
50ml bottle.
