Introducing: Portofino
An idyllic escape to the Italian Riviera. Let our enticing new fragrance evoke the feeling of a carefree weekend away – wherever you are.
The inspiration
Walking through the streets of Portofino, an Italian Riviera port. The stars are out, and the atmosphere is captivating. You stop to enjoy the culinary delights, sit on a bistro chair and watch the people go by. Your thoughts drift; you feel relaxed and you gaze out at the moonlight that’s sparkling and dancing on the serene, lapping water.
The notes
To create this scent, our perfumers selected quality ingredients and carefully blended them to create a rich, comforting scent. In Portofino, warm top notes of orange leaf are rounded with a whisper of night-blooming jasmine. A sprinkling of delicate sea salt is added for a hint of freshness that mimics coastal waters. Oakwood and a rich, soft leather, like a luxuriously patinaed travel bag, are at the base to give the fragrance depth and interest.
The moments
We love Portofino for its ability to transport us to warm climes and conjure beautiful memories. Part of our Edit Collection – in which each fragrance is inspired by evocative places – Portofino sparks that serene, nothing-to-do-but-enjoy-ourselves feeling. It’s ideal for fall evenings at home, snuggled on the sofa and lost in a novel as candle flames flicker and dance. Or, why not create a sanctuary of relaxation and enjoy the scent while you lie back in a warm bath? Whatever your plans, this collection makes a comforting addition.
