Escada Rockin' Rio 2011

i have Rocking Rio since 2015 and would never have thought i will "LOVE" the perfume and will wear it that frequently. Rocking Rio is tropic fruity and fruity sweet on me. I get pineapple supported by peach from start to end. 6 sprays and i get around 6 hours with decreasing sillage. The perfume is warm, happy and optimistic. i reach for it often during winter and when i am moody. This scent is simple and linear but it serves great purpose.

When i got it and used it i wasnt sure about how i felt about it, but it has gron on me and i love it now, i think it was the translusion from winter to spring that made it feel weird but it changed my mood and suits me wery well now:) I dont think it is all sweet, its kind of a balmy citrus and i also smell mango even thoughthis is not mentioned as one of the notes. Love the smell for spring and summer:)

I owned Sunset Heat in 2007, and used the whole bottle by 2009! I have such fond memories of it. I now own Rockin Rio, which is very similar, but a little more tart. RR is fruity, fresh, and tropical. It reminds me of a mango passionfruit dole whip! It's sweet, but not sickeningly so due to the tanginess of the fruit. I loved this fragrance so much I bought a 3.3 oz backup bottle!

Definitely a teen fragrance. Those limitex editions were my signature scents throughout my teens til 2nd year of uni. I loved the smell, the feeling, everything. The only bad thing about them in general was the longevity.. How I wish I could find a more sofisticated version of this kind of perfume, with similar notes and bigger longetivity.

Wonderful. Girly, sweet, provocative.. I smell sth creamy. Very nice one. It reminds me of lollipop. Yummy. :-D I smell tangerine which gives it the right amount of juiciness. Love the smell of papaya in it. There is a little hint of coconut. + this is the scent which stays out of the crowd, and that ́s perfect, isn ́t it?

I don't like coconut, but this one does not have too much of it, and even though I can smell it, it is not overpowering, indeed it complements the fruits exceptionally well! This is a juicy scent, I like it very much. Fruit salad and samba carnevals and juicy tropical drinks! Possibly the best tangerine scent out there.

I LOVE this scent! When I first tested this I was at the airport on my way to a summer holiday and boy my nose was like hang on this is the scent u need! It's so fresh and tropical and will definitely get you in paradise vibes. The fruitiness is amazing as you can easily smell the sweetness of the peaches and orange!

Rockin Rio is one of the best escada perfumes in my opinion. When you first spray it, it smells like a fruity/sweet papaya/pineapple perfume. Then the peach comes in and it smells amazing. I have both the 2005 and the 2011 version. I have 5 bottles of this rocking rio and that is how much I love it lol.

Une de mes amies le porte et à chaque fois, les jambes me lâchent tellement que ce parfum est envoûtant! Il me fait rêver à la femme parfaite!!! *** *** *** A friend of mine wears it and every time I let go of the legs so that the scent is bewitching! It makes me dream of the perfect woman!

this is so unlike any other "fruity" scent- it's totally berry-free! I didn't think I'd like it because I do love sweet berries... but really I LOVE IT!! :-) Perfect for summer, just refreshing and *good* Unfortunately it only last about an hour on me.

Agree with Roseamongthorns...it's my least favorite of the three re-leases. But having said that, it's still a true blue Escada with the tropical fruit and flowers. I find it the most fruity of the three.

Very nostalgic and uber sweet!! Sweetest juicy fruit salad in a bottle. Papaya is dominant and very playful. love love love.. The ultimate summer/vacation perfume for me.

This is so nice! Smells much like Live by Jennifer Lopez except I think this oe is fruitier..very sweet & fruity & fresh..LOVE it!

Smells EXACTLY like "Ralph by RL (the blue bottle) I really like it, but kinda sucks I have two perfumes that smell exactly alike.

juicy! a fruit splash, refreshing, invigorating, it's like a fluffy bed of pineapples and papaya.

Rockin'Rio has the worst lasting power on me. I'm sorry, very nice!

I blind bought a 30ml bottle and I can't decide if it was worth it or not. Its a sweet fruity scent but it smells very similar to something I already have and I can't quite put my finger on it. Its a great perfume for summer when I don't want to wear my heavy coconut scents. This says there is coconut in the notes but I simply do not smell it at all. I get more of a pineapple, mango, and peach scent. Its like a bowl of fresh cut fruit. I don't smell anything else on me, not even the musk. I can say if I was offered a swap for some other gourmand perfume, I would probably take it as I am not overly impressed with this. Sillage (arm's length) and longevity (5 hours) are ok. edited- I figured out what it smells like on me. Zahrat Hawai by Al-Rehab

i have tested all 3 new reeditions of Escada summer fragrances and this one is my most favorite of all those 3 ones. It is the most intense and very-very much like an original one. Maybe it is a bit different, i can ́t compare, since i don ́t have it yet in my collection of summer Escada scents (but i had it back then), but as much as i can remember it is even better than the original one, more softer then the original one, not that chemical on that "tropical" note as it used to be. I would even wear that gladly and would even enjoy it during summer time or even better on late spring time. I get a strong papaya and pineapple mix from this scent, with a peach added as well, but the papaya and pineapple are really dominanting.

I mentioned in an earlier review that I didn't like any other Escada fragrances, but I couldn't help not purchase this one. It's very fresh, clean and fruity. I smell the pineapple, papaya and tangerine immediately, then after a couple hours it changes into a pineapple, papaya and peachy smell. It lasts a long time which is a plus. A little bit of the down side is that It smells like one of those "kid" perfumes I used to have when I was younger, meaning a play-pretend perfume more than an actual young lady perfume. I must admit I mostly got this scent because of the fact that it's supposed to be a scent that smells like a Brazilian beach party or something. I love Brazil and I love Rio de Janeiro!

I agree with one of the reviews @JetsBabe below me...I kept smelling it over and over again and thought "this smells so darn familiar"...it's Ralph by Ralph Lauren in the blue bottle. Smells good but, as the one below me said, now I just have two bottles of the same scent (though this one is definitely prettier lol) It's fresh, tangy, and I don't feel it's that sweet; it's more tart. Great for the summer, but to be honest I don't like it alone; I like to layer it with a couple of my other Escada petfumes (like Taj Sunset) or a coconut scent (since I smell NO coconut in this)

I find that I get compliments from men when I wear this scent. But it is not my favourite from the 3 Escada scents I own. This one I feel is better suited to day time. I don't find anything remarkable about it. It's just, nice. Friendly. Strong and bright, but nothing really "yummy" about it. It sometimes makes me think of a fabulously scented hairspray. I don't necessarily think Escada makes remarkable fragrances, but they make fun fragrances that are always playful and sexy.

Wearing it today to change up from my normal go-to purfume. I never really noticed that it smells exactly like Ralph, by Ralph Lauren... EXACTLY like it... until one of the girls at work mistook the scent for it. I just finished my Ralph a few months ago, but am extremely familiar with the scent. Ralph seems to be a little bit stronger than Rockin' Rio where the sillage isn't as strong. Either way... Like Rockin Rio. Good everyday anytime fragrance.

The name, packaging, and notes are not very intriguing to me, so I was not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised when I put it on. Rockin Rio smells like a bag of jelly beans, I get tropical fruits, with a hint of papaya and orange. It intensifies in sweetness as it warms up, turning into pineapple juice. After a couple hours, it turns creamy with musky undertones. Overall it’s really fun. Sillage is close to skin. Longevity is several hours.

I was looking for the replacement for Pacific Paradise, to be honest I didn't find it in this one. I sense a lot of pineapple and sugar. A lot. And it is just pineapple all the way. With a soft coconut scent underneath. Sweet pineapple juice only all the way is a pity, was hoping for more sophisticated scent. Silage and longevity is moderate. Yet it is very suitable for summer outings, or trips to the beach. Like it.

Every time I spritz this perfume on me, I feel so summer. I wanna slit in my halterneck chiffon dress, loose my hair, take my flip flop and go for a walk at the beach. It makes me wanna samba! It makes me wanna order more of my usual caipirinha! Oooh, how I miss Brazil. And this is just some spritz of this perfume. How gorgeous!

Very average escada scent in my opinion. I can definitely smell the pineapple and papaya. Its a very “orange” scent so the bottle fits perfectly with how it smells. A part of me feels like this smells like a cheap body spray more than a perfume. The drydown isnt my favorite :/

Out of the three limited edition 2011 scents, this one is my least favorite. I think that this scent is not unique at all and honestly, i probably could find something that smells like this at bath and body works. Not impressed. HOWEVER I would buy this if the price was lower.

I really do like this scent. It's not my absolute favorite, but it's up there. I love pineapple, and I can definitely find the pineapple in there, along with the tangerine and sugar. I would say perfect for summer because the scents almost come across as cooling.

Yum! Sweet and fruity and very fresh smelling. This is definitely a summer fragrance. I would love to spritz this on on a hot summer day! Kinda reminds me of Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava (it's like guava, grapefruit and coconut) minus the coconut.

This takes you high with a heady thrill of ripe, juicy fruits, and grounds you with the sweet woody base. It is luscious, tropical, a restless spirit. This is like a teenager that cannot stop dancing, the sugar rush goes on and on.

Now my 3rd Escada Summer fragrance Rockin' Rio, so tropical-fruity! It's yummy, the most fruity from the three of 2011 Summer versions :) Pinneaple + tangerine, papaya, coconut well blended! Like them all the same way!

fun and fruity, but the scent does not develop into anything more than first spray (on me).. I liked it nonetheless, just not as complex as i would like my perfumes to be.

This one is definitely a summer or spring one. I liked it at the beginning but now it gives me headache.. It's too much fruity for my taste.

It is the original. My least favourite of the trio. But still a nice fruity fragrance!

Wonderful. I love the papaya scent in it. Very suitable for day use and summer

very fruty, fresh & good parfume... love it

On my skin, this smells like a fruity hairspray. Not bad. Then as it dries down, there are more synthetic musky undertones and the sweetness dies. Taj Sunset (before it turned on me) was worlds better, and I do love Born in Paradise and Sorbetto Rosso. I accidentally got some Rockin Rio on a jacket, and the next day it smelled sweet and fruity (similar to yummy Calgon Peach from the 90s). What a shame.

Optimistic tropical fruits summer fragrance by Escada! Most of all I feel the papaya, peach and pineapple notes in it. It smells similar to Rockin' Rio 2011 by Escada, too, by the peach note. And much more similar to Sunset Heat by Escada, too, by the papaya, peach, pineapple and coconut notes, besides there is also the sandalwood note in their bases, but it's almost unnoticeable. I like this fragrance! It's perfect for a summer vacation. It's really joyful!:)

This perfume is one of the worst perfumes I ever tried. My sister has it, and every time she puts it on, I have to keep a distance as it irritates my nose. It's very very sweet, makes me feel sick. Even if you like very sweet fragrances, try it before buying it, or else you might be very disappointed of it! Disgusting...:s. The only perfume I love from Escada is Especially. Great for summer days! :)

Just got this today, a little disapointed. Smelled this in Sephora a week ago, it smells way different on my skin. If anyone has the orginal Rockin Rio please let me know. I'm straight edge, that means I don't drink. When I bought this I didn't realzie it had a drink in it 'light rum" I hate the smell of drinks. Otherwise if it wasn't for that, this would be one of my new favorites.

Not one of my favorites of the summer editions, its just ok. The papaya is very strong, and this is predictably a very sweet, fruity fragrance with a little more musk in the drydown than the other summer editions I've tried. I thought I wanted to collect as many of these as I could find, but these are so similar to each other, and this one is my least favorite so far.

I love the smell of papaya. When I heard of this perfume and the amount of papaya smell it has. I bought it and tried it. its nice, fruity and papaya is the main note. BUT.. it never last !! just 10 to 1 hour only you can feel it. but later.. it disappear completely !! so disappointing.

Fruit cocktail in heavy syrup. I would be worried that I would go rancid wearing this without refrigeration. Seriously though, this is sweet in the extreme and I don't mind sweet. But that is all that this fragrance offers. Nothing to balance out this fruit sweet overdose. Nauseating.

I had the original release back in 2007 when I was in high school. I loved it back then. It is waaayyyyyyy too sharp on me now, I can’t stomach it. It’s just a linear sharp pineapple that seems to get increasingly annoying the longer it’s on. Definite scrubber for me

Sadly, this one is as a cheap dupe of the original version. I was so hoping to have again that gem but recieved just disappointment in a bottle.

It is too sweet that it actually makes me want to vomit

Another Escada scent that smells like the other unmemorable fruity fresh scents. Why cant they make another exciting scent like Magnetism is, too. Escada, you did it before, you can do it again.

This is a very, very fruity scent. However I find you can't particularly tell exactly what fruit you are smelling, it just smells like a medley of fruit that you can't differentiate what fruit is what, and like another person said, it smells so fruity it's like you are seconds away from smelling rancid so that is a little disappointing. I wish you could smell each fruit more individuality rather than having them all just blend together. I find there is little to no coconut in this, so if you are thinking about getting this because you want a coconut scent, I'd recommend that you test it out first because I blind-bought it and really, really hoped it would be a tropical-coconut scent and I get no coconut so I'm a little disappointed. It also has terrible lasting power. Within half an hour it becomes a skin-scent, and within another half an hour you can barely smell it at all. I don't hate it, It's nice but not what I hoped it would be at all.

I've been challenging myself this year to try more fruity and gourmand scents, and Escada nearly always fits into that category. I found a bottle of Rockin Rio for a good price and thought why not. This has more depth than I thought it would! It starts out extremely fruity, like a tropical drink, loads of papaya. About three or four hours into wearing, the fruit notes are joined by a large dose of musk. I was like "Where is that coming from?" and then realizing it was me, so surprised was I at the large amount of musk in what I thought was going to be pure fruits. I think this was a good blind buy for summertime, it's sexy in a very casual fun loving way. Windows down and sunscreen on, vacation perfume. And here I am wearing it at the office *sigh*

I love Escada. This is my second favourite Escada perfume out of all the Escada line. I’ve had 2 bottles of this in the past. I’m down to the third bottle. I wish I have another bottle to stock. Rockin Rio is like drinking cold summer fruit punch and then having a fresh flowers shower afterwards. In Malay culture, in the past, people put flowers into their water basin/ bucket for an aromatic shower experience and to bring in positive aura (or to attract a date/ possible husband 😉). Anyways, I get a lot of compliments whenever I put on this perfume. It performs well in hot humid country (33°C in where I live in). The sad part is its longevity though. 4-6 hours only on me. So be sure to bring a decanter spray bottle for top up.
