What does Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino smell like?

Most voters pick summer first and spring after it, and daily and leisure wear come up more than anything else, with office use not far behind. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters call it feminine and modern.

Lychee and ambrette seed open it with a fruity, lightly sweet note. Iris and osmanthus in the heart add a soft, slightly powdery floral touch. Patchouli, amber and musk form a woody base, while the overall impression stays fresh and bright, with a synthetic sheen.
