Which Should You Buy?
This perfume is a divisive one. While some find it to be a genuinely sexy and captivating scent, others dismiss it as generic and familiar. It's a fruity floral that aims for 'night' but is often found suitable for day.
A budget echo of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino. See Genoa lands the fresh litchi opening and powdery iris-osmanthus heart that make the original a sweeter, more feminine take on Light Blue, but renders the creamy floral texture a little thinner and the velvety amber-musk drydown softer.
