Rockin' Rio

The sun-soaked terrace of a beachfront villa, where ripe fruits mingle with the gentle rustle of palm leaves and the distant sound of waves.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Rockin' Rio by Escada, launched in 2005 and crafted by Philippe Romano, is a vibrant Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of a tropical paradise. The opening notes of pineapple, papaya, and mandarin orange create an immediate burst of sweetness and freshness, while sugar cane adds a touch of sugary depth. As it settles, peach and coconut offer a warm embrace before sandalwood and musk ground the composition with a subtle earthiness.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure that the initial fruity burst isn't overshadowed by the base notes. This fragrance blooms best during the daytime when its bright and tropical character can shine without becoming too heavy.
