The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Brisa Cubana by Escada is a fragrance that captures the essence of a refreshing Cuban breeze. Launched in 2024, it opens with vibrant lime and mojito notes, creating an invigorating start that feels like stepping into a sunlit courtyard filled with lush greenery. The mint adds a cooling touch, while the mariposa lily brings a delicate floral warmth to balance the composition.

How to wear it

Apply Brisa Cubana liberally to ensure the vibrant top notes of lime and mojito make their presence felt. The fragrance is light and fresh, so it's best enjoyed close to the skin rather than projected into a room. It pairs well with daytime activities and warm weather.
