This is fruity! It’s an aldehydic floral with a blend of freesia, orange and oakmoss. It’s a borderline chypre with a bit of woodiness and a sharpness to it. I am wearing the Esprit de Parfum.

I had this nice perfume when I was younger, I loved it, and I miss it so very much =)

Testing today a vintage mini. I cannot say that I can detect any particular notes. This is an early slightly fruity toned perfume I would say. It has a sweetness to it common in many perfumes today. Not my particular style but not bad either. Big white floral lovers may well like this also.
Drydown smells like drydown of Pleasures.

The original Samba, now called Samba for Women, was introduced in 1987, the same year we got married. It is currently distributed in Mexico and Puerto Rico, and not in the the USA, but I was able to find a bottle to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Sweet and floral, it makes her smell like a bride.

Flashbacks to a perfume I owned an loved. I remember only being able to use a little at a time because this scent was so overpowering. It was fun though!

Oh this takes me back! It was my signature scent at the time so reminds me of clubbing and parties, summers at the beach, and unlike so many other perfumes that I connect to a particular boy, this one was worn far too often to limit it to anyone in particular. It’s fruity and yet has a zing and a powdery, sweet dry down. It wasn’t well known here in Australia, none of my friends wore it. It will always be my own sweet time machine to the hip hop heyday of the early nineties party scene.

Liked this a lot, back in the days… like, a bit masculine almost, in a good way (I like sorta masculine perfumes) and just clean and fresh and crisp… I think u can still get it some places on the internet… brings back memories, being a teen, the 90’s, havin fun and just being young, haha 😀 Well, still am young! 🙂 But not a teen 😉 I would like to get a hold of this, just for the nostalgia… hehe 🙂

i put this on today for nostalgic reasons. in a second the monthly school discos, blue glitter and spice girls flashed before my eyes. ahhhhh… sometimes i do miss the 90s! hahah
this smells like canned fruit salad, the best kind with the cherries. the drydown is actually not bad, very citrusy and spicy. in my opinion this is the kiddie version of sun moon stars. both turns into a super-sweet fruity freesia on my skin. i doubt i would buy a bottle today but a part of me will forever love samba.

They must have reformulated this, it doesn´t smell the same now as it did in the end of the 90´s.
Yesterday when I tested this it was like a new perfume for me…odd because it was my signature scent back in the days :/
Meksx734Diobtetty – :
I have the original Samba. Very fruity but not like the floral fruity perfumes of today. This has more substance. Smells wonderful although it is 25+ years old! The orange really shines.

this perfume reminds me of backpacking through europe with my ex-boyfriend in 1990. it was so exciting, fun and romantic. to this day, certain songs and the smell of samba conjure up wonderful memories of pillow fights in the french alps and topless romps on the riviera! oooh la la!

Samba yes wore this when I was a teenager and I just remember all the girls had this scent and when a new one came out it was like OMG!!!! but yes…funny my aunt bought me Fracas and I think I was the only girl who had that plus I had my cheapy Samba…yes fruit punch and kool-Aid man running with you with Samba…they still make this?lol ha!

A nice party-like fragance. My sister has it and everytime she wears it it kind of gives me a “lets-go-party!” mood.

Rico Suave
I used to wear this every single time I went to the teen dance club in our area (9th and 10th grade). I still have my old bottle (we’re talking 1989-1991)! It has turned and now smells like pooch, as you can imagine, but I just love having the bottle around.
When I get the chance to smell it, I start to think of Gerardo’s “Rico Suave,” Soul II Soul’s “Back to Life,” and DMob/Cathy Dennis’ “C’mon and Get My Love!”
Despite the questionable music, those were some seriously fun times! Thanks, Samba!

This is my first “real” fragrance as far as I can remember along with Tresor. I used this in high school, and I didn’t have many scents then, I wore it every day. After one bottle I got tired of it. I remember that it was nice and different at that time, not a typical 80’s stinker.

Bought this one in the 90’s based on a magazine review that described it as “sizzling”. Yes, it is possible to heat up this revolting melange of fruit until it gets hot enough to sizzle. No argument here.
P.S. You know you really don’t like a fragrance when YOU CAN’T EVEN CONCEIVE anybody pulling it off. But that’s why fragrance is soooo personal.

Perfume when i was in high school fruity and playfull
lewfloace – :
I keep only ever remember the teenage years but I did not know how to wear this fruit salad, but today I was absolutely impossible.
mmmcooper – :
The first fruity gourmand, I get raspberry and vanilla over cedar.
dlztbbgyij – :
My first perfume love, from back when I was a teenager. As I remember it, fruity, vibrant and fun.
tataaarin – :
Ah, one of my first perfumes. I remember it being more ambery with tobacco notes than a fruity/floral fragrance. Still, it would bring back some fun memories if I was able to sniff it again :O)
GabrielBaric – :
Wish they still sold it,love it!!!
Rely a summer smell.I think Rush stole the smel from samba
dima29_10 – :
I had this in my twenties,about when it came out . I remeber loving its freshness ,its fruityness and its lack of heavy perfume notes,its just .. happy and fresh and playful !
I do believe id like it just as much today,but maybe occationally, not everyday ,though it is quite girlish and not a very mature scent.
But yes,a joybringer!

I also used this perfume as a teenager, it was a birthday gift from my brother, and I remember that he used to tease me about it when I wore it, telling me I smelled like a cucumber (I teased him right back, telling him that he had given me the perfume that made me smell like cucumber).
I like this fragrance because its sweet and cheery, and I think it is definitely perfect for teenagers. Such a shame this is not available any more.
AdobeCS – :
It’s definitely a strong perfume and not for everyone. I happen to like it plus I love the shape of all samba perfumes.
kraft5 – :
I’ve got some fond memories of this original Samba fragrance, it was my first-ever perfume as a young teenager…the year was 1989 and I got it as a Christmas present from my mum. I can still remember its sweet and fruity smell which embodied the spirit of the 80’s very well 🙂

Think it wrong perfyme. It is incense also in. And the name ”Sexy” ore ”Sexy Man” and it is a man perfyme. A yellow hat.
Эстель – :
This was the first perfume my mother bought for me when I was about 11 years old! I think it’s appropriate for a teenager. It’s a powdery fruity fragrance, yummy and sweet.
