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!

I don’t agree with the comments under me, this perfume smells nothing like lime or mint. It smells insanely dreamy - that’s the only way I can describe it, also it’s very very addicting. Reminds me of a Spanish vacation. I think the package design totally visualizes the scent. You should definitely try it on your skin first, bc this smells different on everyone. I don’t like flower and orange scents but something about this hits very different. Only downside is that it barely lasts, but the amazing smell makes up for it.

I bought this as a blind buy as it was on clearance and I'm so happy I did! I dont really get any of the listed notes but I do get a gentle, tropical citrus. There's a light floral in the background and its very subtle but does enhance the fragrance very nicely. For me, this feels like a skin scent I'd wear on a beach day.

This was LOVE at first sniff! It's so airy, fluffy and fruity, and, it also reminds me of my most beloved Hippie Ibiza, and, l agree with your positive comments, and descriptions, and, l will most defently hoarder MANY bottles of this HAPPY juice!

I accidentally sprayed it on the same wrist after Narciso Rodriguez for Her Forever and it was a love at first sight 😍 The result is absolutely beautiful. Should you have access to both, give the mixture a try.

I love it; sour, tart, bitter lime all around, with a sweet something keeping it friendly, and additional herbal freshness from mint. Makes me think of my beloved Bath & Body Works Limelight from 1996.

Smells like lime and florals. Simple but very refreshing fragrance for a hot summer day. Lasts a few hours on my skin but FOREVER on my clothes.

Verry addicting and very soothing. Fizzy mojito. I use it also for layering when I want to add some sparkling citrusy freshness somewhere.

Gorgeous citrus opening, juicy and addicting. After half an hour smells very sweet and candy like (?). It lasted around 4hrs on the wrist

I love you Escada, if I was a famous woman in the 90s I’d love to be a brand ambassador for them. These perfumes are so me.

To my huge surprise, both after reading others reviews, and from looking at the notes of this perfume, I actually like it! I tested it, and basically was certain it would be dull, vaporize within short, and be a forgettable don't even bother kinda fragrance. Little did I know that I would notice beautiful whiffs of this perfume all day long. It's more than 12 hours since I sprayed one single spray on my hand to test it, and I can still catch this pleasant, almost soothing smell from it when moving my hand to grab something. I ended up going back and by a 50 ml of within a few hours after spraying it on, feeling myself drawn towards it like a bee to a flower. I can not explain this. The notes are not me at all, and it's nothing spectaculary special to this fragrance. It just.. hits the spot. Suits me well. Makes me dream about summer, but it's also strangely familiar. Perhaps a resemblance to a previous limited edition Escada? Might be. I really don't care. I just know I really like this scent. Love? Maybe not. Not yet, anyways. But I definitely like it (she said, smelling her hand. Again.) Some will say this is a summer scent. And I get why. It definitely has those summer vibes. But in my book, that can work all year round. Imagine in the middle of the winter, it's freezing 20-25 below zero, and you are longing for summer like it's the doorstep to heaven. And you sit by the fireplace, close your eyes, dream about summer and then you catch it. That wonderful smell of spring or summer, and you can almost trick yourself into believing you're there. That's what this scent is to me, and thus a perfect all year, all rounder. It may be that it's best suitable for day time, I am not sure yet. But it's a safe office wear, and still it can also heighten the experience of a fancy dinner party.

A very refreshing, simple, unpretentious mix of mint, lime and mojito with some tropical variation of lily flower. Nothing new and never smelled before but very pleasant and energising. Easy reach scent for hot and humid summer days. Quite fleeting to be honest but not excessively overpriced like many other similar scents from other designers houses! I have similar perfumes with this scent profile, so for me it is a pas. But if you’re new to the perfume world and want an affordable, pleasant, refreshing summer time scent, give Brisa Cubana a sniff.

This is more like a fruity, slightly citrusy shampoo scent to me than mojito, in my opinion. I don't get any mint at all and no distinct lime. That said, it's a very pretty, feminine freshie that would be lovely for summer, although the longevity is weak for the price tag. I think this bears a resemblance to Applejuice from Zara, though side by side, Brisa Cubana is more delicate and better blended (as it should be). Similar ballpark, though.

Would I buy this at full price? No. But I found this for $17 at Ross, so we took a chance. Super bright, super fresh and juicy! Perfect for hot summer days. The lime note is strong and may be too sharp for some. I don’t think this is juvenile at all. My one complaint is that I wish it was a bit more boozy. It would layer well with many fruity fresh summer scents like coconuts, aquatic/scents, driftwood! Beachy things!

The notes are so off, i didn't smell Mojito at all! Instead i smelled Sex on the Beach cocktail in the opening. 🍹 Straight orange and red grenadine. 🍊❤️ Then it settled into a sweet cocktail mixed with sunscreen. Sunny, beachy and immediately reminded me of a holiday i've been to. 🏖 I liked it but in my opinion not worth the high pricetag for a "simple" perfume. Mind you it's 80 swiss francs here!!

I always look forward to the limited edition perfumes from Escada. This one does not disappoint in my opinion. It smells like a minty mojito which definitely lifts my spirits in the winter months. Is it a beast mode perfume? NO it isn’t. But it is strong enough to lift my mood and to help me make it through the cold months. I think it will be perfect for hot weather because it smells so fresh.
