Rockin' Rio

Around 2006/2007, I was shopping in a department store when I came across some brightly colored Escada perfumes. I tested maybe 1 or 2 and was drawn in quickly to fruity sweet scents I had never experienced in a perfume before. However, I am cheap, so I grabbed the mini dabber set of all 5: Rockin Rio, Island Kiss, Moon Sparkle, Pacific Paradise and Sunset Heat. I don't think I paid more than ~$30ish for the set. I became smitten with the tart, fruity scents. However since I am also stingy, I rarely used them and eventually stashed them away. Moon sparkle is a little more than half full and Rockin Rio more than 3/4 full...clearly liked them the most 🤣. I believe this to be one of the best Escada summer collections ever released. If you can snag a bottle of Rockin Rio, go for it!

A lot of the seasonal Escada fragrances are similar, and this one is quite similar to Sexy Graffiti, which I also like very much. Most of these seasonal Escada scents have a fruity undertone, and this one has both the undertone and overtones! It's a fresh and lovely fragrance, like a summer picnic in the park, and lasts about as long. I wish it were a bit more lasting without getting any stronger, because the freshness is just right. The pineapple note is especially divine in this fragrance and is, in my opinion, the only thing that differentiates it from Escada Sexy Graffiti. I love the way another user described the new Escadas as "tutti-fruttis" because that really is an accurate description -- they're delicious, but definitely not a seven-course meal.

This was my frangrance was it was first released in spring 2005, I was a freshmen in college. It was one of the Escada yearly fragrance that year. Now they have recently re-released 3 of their most best selling annual fragrances a couples years ago, with Rio being one of them. It is a nice fruity-floral fragrance but not a long longeivity. It is a scent for younger women for high school girls up to college. The comments about it being similar to a Victoria Secret "Body Spray" are kind of insulting to the brand (comparing a cheap-o perfume company to luxury Escada), never-the-less the comparissions are kind of spot one, lol.

One of my faves from Escada because its full of Summer & energy. The main reason that I love it though is because it smells just like a discontinued Shampoo from the 80's called Body on Tap...I used to love smelling it when I went to my big sisters place when I was a kid. It was made to make your hair gleem because they added Beer inside the ingredients...Not that Escada Rockin Rio smells like beer or anything and neither did the Shampoo Body on Tap but it smells similar and I love them both. Such a happy Childhood memory :) I'm going to buy this one very soon :)

I have a nice memory of Rockin' Rio. My family was on a cruise to Stockholm, Sweden the year this was launched. It was advertised in the tax-free shop. My daughter was only 8 years old, and she went to test it and fell in love with this rich, sweet punch of exotic fruit. I had to buy it! It is my favorite of the Escada's summer editions. This is the ultimate fruity perfume, you cannot beat this. I do prefer more subtle and fresh scents for summer but I could buy this again for nostalgic reasons, maybe in the mid-winter just to melt the ice :)

I absolutely loved this perfume when I was 18. I sprayed it on every single day that summer. It is super fruity and fun and absolutely perfect on a hot summer day. It was the first perfume that I finished the entire bottle of because I loved it that much. I repurchased this version on Poshmark a few years ago just for the nostalgia factor and it brings me back to that summer. Definitely a fun fragrance that is definitely young but I think anyone can wear it as it’s definitely a mood booster.

This has got some punch to it! I was looking for something with a pineapple note, but got a bonus peach, papaya and mandarin. A rather fun tropical fruit smoothie to start (prompted my husband to say 'It's delicious, but isn't it intended for someone younger?' grrrr) and dries down nicely into the coconut, musk and sandalwood base. Lasted for about 8 hours on me. It will be fab in the summer..not that it isn't now

My mom had this when I was little, and I remember spraying it on myself because I was so in love with this scent. Actually, I loved it so much to the point where i still think about it today. This sweet, tropical smell never failed to comfort me. This is perfect for a hot summer day.

Not very long lasting but smells delicious! Very young, energetic vibe to it. The best way to wear this: after spending a day on the beach, take a shower and then spray this generously and go out!! It doesn't break new ground but it is pleasant for humid summer nights.

I can’t believe I found an unopened big bottle of this for very cheap. Smiling from ear to ear, this brings back memories from my teenage years. Still love it - very fruity and sweet and perfect for summer. Perhaps this 2005 fragrance is my summer scent of 2025.

i just love this scent for the very first time i smell it ;) the strong scent that longlast in my body keep up my mood.. but i stop using this because there's so many friends out there using this perfume :( i think i just want smell differently than others hehe

I really enjoy this scent. It's not my signature scent, but I love to wear it when the weather is warm, or even occasionally as a cold weather pick me up. It's a happy, uplifting scent, and I think it's appropriate for a wide range of ages.

Absolutely loved it as a teen! A generous, sweet, fun, flirty fruit salad topped with candy floss. It's the type of scent that would appeal to most boys I think... I couldn't wear this nowadays but Rockin'Rio is all good memories...

Absolutely summer fragrance. Sea, sand and sun with margarita in your hand or coconut juice. Happy, relax and vacation time. Love all fruity in this bottle especially coconut scent. It melt me down.

It is perfect for the winter. Interestingly I have a strawberry-like feeling although it is not among the components. For me it's more like a winter scent than a summer one.

Summer in one fragrance! I really love the opening, so sweet and fruity, an energising perfume, I smell the papaya and sugared pineapple! Quite good lasting too!

I had this scent in university (the original version). I remember it was super sweet and yummy. Wish I could buy it now for a reasonable price!

This was one of my favorite scents when I was younger! It was addictively sweet, and such a cool summer vibe to wear

I love this! I like most of the LE's of Escada and got them all. I'm always looking forward to the new one!

this is a really great summer fragrance its fresh and fruity but not overpowering
