Our Verdict - No.086 Escale a Portofino EDP
No.086 is Eden Perfumes' interpretation of Dior's Escale à Portofino, an intense citrus opening of bergamot and lemon that dries down to cedar and cypress. It is more one-dimensional than the layered Dior original but keeps the same sun-soaked Mediterranean freshness.
