Rockin' Rio by Escada
NOTES: Tangerine, Pineapple, Papaya, Piña Colada, Sugar Cane, Bush Peach, Dama de Noite, Sea Breeze, Coco Juice, Driftwood, Sandalwood, Powder of Musk
I recently added a sample vial of Rockin’ Rio to my latest FragranceX.com order, solely for reviewing purposes. I have something against Escada, even though I like a lot of their scents. To me, most of their limited edition summer fragrances are extremely similar, and frankly, that doesn’t impress me much. I am a proud owner of Pacific Paradise, though, and a part of me just can’t give Escada up.
CLASSIFICATION: Fruity, feminine, tropical
AGE GROUP: College
SIMILAR SCENT(s): Vaguely reminiscent of other Escada fragrances

I purchased Gucci Envy Me after reading a few online reviews. I, like always, was on the quest to find a new perfume favorite, and everything I read about this fragrance seemed like it would be right up my alley. When I received it in the mail, however, I smelled it in the bottle, and disregarded it for several months. What was I thinking?

I received Incanto Dream in a long-awaited package containing several scents that I was highly anticipating, to say the least. When I got to the Incanto Dream box, it was like love at first site. The bottle is very pretty and unique, but we all know it’s what’s inside that counts. So, without further ado…
