    One of my favourite fragrances; you’ll like it if you enjoy fruity scents like I do. It was a gift from my mother in the 2000s, so I treasure it dearly. The notes that come out most on my skin are papaya and pineapple, with the creamy aspect provided by the coconut and sugarcane. I barely detect the sandalwood, which is a relief as it’s one of my least favourite notes. Highly recommended for a sunny day in any season. Its only drawback is that in recent years, coconut has become a trend everywhere, making the note a little common. Nevertheless, it remains delicious and far from cloying.

    One of my favourite fragrances; you’ll like it if you love fruity scents as much as I do. It was a gift from my mother in the 2000s, so I cherish it dearly. On my skin, the papaya and pineapple stand out, while the coconut and sugarcane give it a silky touch. I barely detect the sandalwood, which is a relief as it’s one of my least favourite notes. Highly recommended for a sunny day at any time of year. Its only downside is that coconut has become so trendy it’s a bit common. Nevertheless, it remains delicious and far from cloying.

    Rock in Rio or a bike ride by the beach? Haha, it’s not bad at all. I’ve just received it and will use it daily. It’s a soft papaya that doesn’t bother. Something sweet, but truly sweet is Sun Water; even I, who enjoy sweetness, get nauseous, but this has Escada’s DNA softened. I insist, it’s for daily, pleasant use. I’m coming back to edit this because I read it smells like Ralph Lauren Blue, and indeed it does. It’s very similar, rich, but I don’t know where the piña colada I bought it for is 🙁

    This is the happiest fragrance I’ve ever purchased; it cost an arm and a leg and was incredibly hard to find. At first, I thought I’d been sold a perfume filled with water, but as oxygen enters the bottle and time passes, all the scents become more pronounced. To make matters worse, the summer after I got it, Sedal launched a new summer campaign and reproduced the fragrance in one of their varieties. I was furious… 😛

    It’s the happiest fragrance I’ve ever bought. It cost me a fortune and was hard to find. At first, I thought I’d been sold a perfume full of water, but over time, as air enters the bottle, all the aromas intensify. On top of that, the summer after I got it, Sedal launched a new summer campaign and reproduced the fragrance in one of their varieties. I wanted to die… 😛

  6. Even though it’s evaporating due to its age, I absolutely love it! Getting it for my partner was a nightmare, but I’ve finally managed to track it down. It’s coconut and pineapple, so it’s perfect, though it doesn’t quite resemble the new Rock in Rio that came out a couple of years ago.

    Many years ago, I had an exact imitation of this perfume that lasted for hours. I remember it smelled wonderful, but I grew tired of it quickly and my mother had to use it up. Fortunately, it was a clone because the original would have seemed endless. I wouldn’t buy it.

  8. Although it’s evaporating due to its age, I love it. Getting it for my partner was quite a challenge, but I now have it in my hands. It’s coconut and pineapple, so perfect, but in my opinion, it doesn’t resemble the new Rock in Rio that came out a couple of years ago.

    In my opinion, this lovely summer perfume has papaya and pineapple as its main and most lasting notes, with the pineapple tasting like one sprinkled with sugar. It’s very cheerful and sweet. Excellent longevity!

    Fruits, fruits, and more fruits, so many that they bore you very quickly. It’s supposed to be cheerful and summery, but usually when the fun feels forced, it has the opposite effect.

  13. Ugh, disgusting. What papaya or coconut, not even a child’s dead body. It smells like Ralph Lauren’s Ralph from the early 2000s, the blue one, a sticky, unbearable mess. Horrible.

    • Coconut

    I love this perfume; it brings back wonderful memories and smells incredibly rich of tropical fruits. It’s a pity they discontinued it; if I find it, I’ll buy it.

  15. Ugh, disgusting. Neither papaya nor coconut, nothing worth mentioning. Smells like the 2000s Ralph Lauren Blue, that gloomy, suffocating blue version. Horrible.

    My husband gifted it to me on my birthday. To be honest, it’s not one of my favourites; I don’t feel it suits me, but it smells very nice.
