What does Porto Bello smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring follows, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though the feminine votes are strong too, so it sits comfortably in between.

It opens with orange zest, a bright, fruity citrus note. Davana in the heart adds a sweet, fruity softness. In the base, cognac and frankincense take over, leaving a creamy, resinous, woody warmth with a touch of smoke.
