What does Portraits of Portofino smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer, followed by spring, and it is mostly worn for daily use, leisure and the office. Opinion on its character is split: voters lean masculine and modern, while a fair share call it feminine.

It starts with a citrusy, aquatic freshness, and jasmine and magnolia bring a floral softness in the heart. Amber, musk, patchouli and ginger give it a lightly sweet, woody base. The fresh, fruity and floral sides dominate. Afnan Perfumes Turathi (Blue) and Sospiro Accento Luminoso have a close profile.
