About 4/5 years ago, I 'discovered' this scent and have been wearing it ever since. I tend to only wear it in the summer, because I find it too light for wear during the winter. Said perfume is 'Island Kiss' by German fashion house Escada.
Escada tend to re-bottle and re-brand this fragrance every year, just in time for summer. You may know it under various other names including 'Sunset Heat' and 'Rockin' Rio'. The top notes and base notes differ year to year slightly, but the scent is still essentially the same. It is very sweet, fruity and citrus like, reminding me of holidays on a warm Caribbean beach.
As much as I do like it, I've noticed that the fragrance doesn't last as long as 'Rockin' Rio' or 'Sunset Heat' did. Nor do I think it smells as strong as the others did. Not that it's a problem, as I still do like the scent but for a strong perfume lover, it is a little disappointing. That said, I do like the bottles colour, the blue hues remind me of the sea, and I do think that it ties in well with the name.
