Hey, everyone. Nicole here. And today I'm reviewing Escale a Portofino by Christian Dior. An entry into the designer's Cruise Collection from 2008. This aromatic citrus fragrance opens with notes of bergamot, lemon, and petitgrain. Supported by a heart of juniper berries, almond, and orange blossom. And ending in a base of musk, cedar, cypress, galbanum, caraway, and musk. I would recommend it as a great option for summer day wear, especially if you prefer less fruity, sweet scents for the season. Well, that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed this review.

Escale a Portofino

It was a total "blind buy" for me. I just heard so many times about it and went ahead and bought it for the spring wear. This is a perfect COLOGNE. Therefore it is lighter than most eau (s). Still possesses very decent sillage. I'd describe it as sparkling and Dior style captivating - I just can't

get enough of it. I love how citrus notes are offset by cypress essence. Dior's almond note... nobody can get as nicely as Dior. Love it. Will be buying again. P.S. this is unisex but almond's sweetness makes a bit more feminine, in my opinion.

Huge Disappointment

I had read a lot about the development of this perfume and how special it is. Based on the descriptions I was eager to try it. After 5 minutes, no one including me can smell it! I've never had this before with a perfume. Tried it on two friends and it was the same. After a week of trying it

Beautiful scent

I have used this scent for years and since it's very light, and doesn't have a lot of staying power, it's best in the summer when a heavy scent is not needed, or a after a shower. It reminds me a lot of 4711 cologne. Very fresh scent with a light citrus touch.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Super Classy

I love this perfume. It's the third time I buy it. Good for use all day long. Subtle enough for work, but also very sensual, so great for a date as well. It starts as very lemon-y but soon transforms to a warm, fresh scent. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold, at least on me, but I make up for this by always carrying the bottle with me! Still, it's one of my favourites. Classy, subtle and very very elegant.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
