The new addition, fourth in a row, of the Cruise Collection by Dior is Escale a Parati. Parati (or Paraty) is historical and touristic town in Brazil, situated on the Green Coast (Costa Verde) near Rio de Janeiro.

Francois Demachy, the Dior in-house perfumer, found the inspiration for this fragrance in vivid and pastel colors of the landscape, laughter, wind, music, samba and sea. The fragrance captures Brazilian exotics with citrus and woody notes of bitter orange, lemon, petit grain, rosewood, mint, cinnamon, red berries and tonka bean.

Available as 75 and 125 ml Eau de Toilette. Cruise Collection Escale a Parati was launched in 2012.

I find it invasive. Too strong. The citrus scent é TOO citrus, and is blended with a very heavy wood scent.

got a sample of this with my Aqua Fahrenheit bottle, from the looks of the card and the bottle I tough it was strictly feminine, but after spraying it on my skin the first thing that came to my mind was Habit Rouge, really kind of "dated" feel to my nose, but good indeed, has that citrusy powdery feel I get from Habit Rouge

Very elegant and strict lemony cologne. It would suit perfectly for a businesswoman. It's gorgeously cold and fresh! I love it!!! It's the best of Cruise Collection for sure.

I can just feel the Petit Grain. It's overwhelming and weird. I can't see me using this.

Hmm...
This is the most 'cologney' scent from this line. Less original,it reminds me of good classic colognes. It is a true unisex and I would rather give it to my bf, so he smells yummy. I bet this should smell better on him than me. It's great, but there are cheaper alternatives. It doesn't have much lasting power either. Top, heart are citrusy and I didn't feel anything else much just lemons and oranges, it's moderately bitter and has a base of woody bergamot.

Colognes and citrusy scents are among my favorite types of fragrances, but this one I did not like. It does not smell bad, it is actually quite good. But it was very harsh, and it stayed harsh till the end. Maby better as a masculine?

People... I don´t like this. Not a bit. Really!!!

I live in Brazil and went to Paraty a couple of times and I can tell you that there´s nothing in this Escale that reminds me from there. Paraty is a beautiful city with beatiful beaches... Without a trace of this weak classic french citrus fragrance (in the worst and cheapest way that this could be).

Dior, please stop with these "ESCALES" you´re only doing despicable things! And more respect for my country please! LOL

And guys, if you really want something fresh wonderful and sometimes green... Go for The Jardin Collection from Hèrmes! Too much better...

After escale aux Marquises this is the one I like best of the cruise collection. This one is different from the others in that the cinnamon, which I love, gives it a depth the other ones, overly citric, do not have. After the first five minutes, though, pertit grain takes center stage and I do not like it nearly as much as in the opening. Staying power is very poor. I find the idea of a cruise and escale at beautiful places extremely appealing. Really a nice idea for a perfume.

Escale a Parati is a dry green scent with woody undertones.
It starts out as a zesty citrus (lime more than lemon) and it’s just a little sugary, maybe because of the berries. Like a glass of fresh cold lemonade on a hot summer day. The petit grain smells like freshly cut grass. In fact this fragrance screams summer.
The woody notes are almost earthy and somehow dry, IMO they make this cologne different from the usual citrus scents.
This green scent becomes a bit soapy in the dry down so like the other fragrances in Dior’s cruise collection it will make you feel clean and refreshed when the weather is hot.

Escale a Parati is described as a unisex scent and it is the most masculine perfume from this range but it’s absolutely for women too.
I don’t find Parati as long lasting as f.ex. Portofino or Pondichery. It’s more like a cologne than an eau de toilette but personally I enjoy refreshing during the day.

Escale a Parati is good news for those looking for an elegant, classic, cologne-like scent with a twist.

In 3 words: GREEN – DRY - FRESH

This REALLY does smell like a classical eau de Cologne, with a little extra "je-ne-sais-quoi" , don't know, maybe this is just in my head, because it is Dior that i find a classy touch in that .
Definitely a unisex .
I think it might please the older audience , because old persons usually love eau de Cologne ( well in my country they do , all old people have eau de cologne in their bathroom closet) BUT you don't need to be old to enjoy it ! I'm (not that :-P) old and i love love it !
It's a green , fresh , sharp classical beauty.
