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.
This one is a divisive green scent - some find it a delightful, fresh take on fig and neroli, while others are put off by a perceived synthetic harshness or an unfortunate resemblance to Alien. Definitely try before you buy, it's not a safe blind-buy for everyone.
