Brisa Cubana

Lime is the star of the show! This is not just simply squeezed lime, it is lime with the peel. I have never tried mojito so I was unsure of what to except. This is very sweet too and I am guessing that's the mojito, it smells like a sweet and sour cocktail. Escada does sweet and sour very very well. I am on my second 100ml bottle of this and I think I will be going for a third or fourth bottle. It is absolutely mouth watering and especially the opening is to die for. It's very fresh, sweet and sour. It is so juicy and perfect for citrus lovers like myself. This is my favourite of the six Escada limited edition fragrances in my collection. I have Sorbetto Rosso, Santorini Sunrise, Brisa Cubana, Agua Del Sol (my previous favourite but my bottle has expired and it is a shadow of it's former self), Chiffon Sorbet and Nectar De Costa Rica.. Brisa cubana is easily my favourite although it is not the best performer out of them. My second favourite is Agua Del Sol. I cannot wait to buy last year's "Bali Paradise" and this year's "Yum Me, Sunny" to add to my collection. My only complaint with Brisa Cubana is the longevity, it lasts around an hour if that. That might be because I have been wearing it in winter. It lasts longer if you are heating up and working up a sweat. It even seems to smell sweeter the hotter one feels. It is designed for high heat and made for summer. I cannot wait to wear it in the summer.

Tried this today and it was an instant love! I bought it right away bc it was on sale, and it was super delicious! Before trying, i was thinking why not make the bottle greenish or whatever, with such green notes, but I do get the colour fits the smell more than the notes showed. This is fresh juicy sweet fruity! I dont get the mojito vibe, but I do however get a drink vibe of it. It remind me a lot of a drink i dont know the name of, that i was served at a time. It was sooo good smelling it as I loved the drink! (I dont like mojito though lol!) I have no idea what it smells like, its quite an unfamiliar smell for me. But I wanna say its a rather safe blid buy for summer escada lovers! Its yummy, summery, fruity and even though its cold winter here now, I cant imagine this being cloying during summer but rather refreshing actually :) as usual, the sillage and longevity is not much to brag about, but thats kinda how it is with these summer editions i think, treat them as mists :) (if someone tried this and get same drink vibe as me, and know the drink name, ill be very happy!) :D

I'm inept with discerning notes in a fragrance except for detecting citrus in this without going too sour or screechy. I can say that this is light, fresh yet sweetly alluring and distinctive... A winner. Despite the rating of this here by the others, on me, it has a moderate to strong lasting power of 10+ hrs. Also a good projection as I can detect a whiff on me here and there. Hence in my opinion the performance is even superior to some Eau De Parfum. I don't know how it does this, but many hrs later, the crisp zinginess fades into something sweet while retaining the memory of initial freshness... and a wee bit powdery. I can not say it must be a Mariposa lily, since I never smelled that flower. ETA: I still can smell it on me a day later. Also, the test paper still has it, which has been a day short of a week since I dubbed it in the chemist - now that is eternal!

So, second review after wearing it some more. Initial smell is mouthwatering raspberry lemonade. I also could guess red current in there as well to my nose. As it settle it turn a little bit on the green side. I dont really detect it as minty, but more in a juicy grass-like freshness (not to become cloying, like a tiny hint of it, not much green at all!) Although I dont smell directly those notes, I wouldnt be surprised if orange and peach was part of the juice either. But mainly, a freshly made raspberry lemonade is closest to my nose of what this smell like on me :) i might be totally mistaken. Compared to notes shown, I think I am lol! Please try and share your thoughts! :) I think its juicy refreshing, cant wait to try in summer heat

I have this lovely gem, and as much as I LOVE the smell-it comes off like a body spray rather than an EDT. This is so beautiful, it’s light and airy fruity and sweet all at the same time it’s very much the seasonal escada perfumes it just projects as a body mist from bath and body works rather than my fresh perfumes I’ve come to love from the summer releases. It’s so bad that if I hadn’t gotten it free I would take it back, spray it and it’s gone. I normally spray my blankets with a perfume to smell when I cuddle up (I hope I’m not the only one who does this lol) and you can’t smell it immediately after, it’s actually so frustrating because it’s beautiful! Don’t spend the 92 dollars they are asking, wait for it to be cheaper!
