Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Escale à Portofino EDT
A masterful citrus cologne with Italian soul - dazzling, airy, and utterly refreshing. Escale à Portofino is a sun-drenched breeze in a bottle, perfect for those craving effortless sophistication and authentic Mediterranean zest.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Escale a Portofino EDP
A crisp citrus-aromatic dupe of Dior Escale a Portofino. The bergamot-petitgrain opening is bright and faithful; the cedar-cypress base fades sooner than the Dior original.
