Like a bespoke white shirt, Neroli Portofino takes the classic, citrus-driven lightness of the eau de cologne formula and amps up the quality of its ingredients and, as a result, their fit on the skin. It opens with a luscious burst of neroli and layers of citrus notes, including bergamot, lemon and pittosporum, with its heady, jasmine-and-orange blossom-like bouquet. It then accents this bouquet with green and dusky herbs, including rosemary and lavender. This burst of freshness is warmed by an understated woody and amber base. Neroli Portofino doesn't reinvent the eau de cologne wheel, but it does take it for a spin along the winding roads of the Italian Riviera.
