Which Should You Buy?
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.
Floris JF is a divisive beast: some hail it as a refined, natural take on the Cool Water/GIT DNA, while others dismiss it as an overpriced, short-lived cleaning product. Expect a vibrant citrus opening, but be warned, the dry down can polarise.
