What does Portofino Noir smell like?

Grapefruit, basil and coriander give it a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, ginger, orange blossom and cardamom bring the spice forward, with a creamy softness running through. The base of tobacco, cedar and amber leaves it sweet, oriental and woody.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter; it leans towards evenings and nights out, and also finds a place in daily wear. Half of the voters read it as masculine. Alexandria Fragrances Ovation and The Dua Brand 1 and Only have a close profile.
