Perfume Parlour See Genoa For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. See Genoa For Women opens with Ambrette and Litchi, settles into a heart of Iris and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's See Genoa For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.

About

See Genoa interprets Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino, the sweeter, more powdery flanker of the beloved Light Blue. It opens with a fresh, juicy burst of litchi alongside soft ambrette, instantly cooling and fruity. The heart turns floral and powdery as creamy iris meets intense osmanthus, lending a slight oceanic feel. The drydown leaves a velvety trail of amber, patchouli and musk. Against the original, this Perfume Parlour version captures the litchi-and-iris signature convincingly but renders the creamy floral heart a touch thinner and the velvety base softer - it reads a little flatter than the polished original. Longevity is moderate, in line with the sheer eau de toilette it copies, with soft, close-wearing sillage. It is a fresh, elegant fruity-floral made for warm spring and summer days, casual and office wear and light dates - a wallet-friendly route to that powdery Portofino freshness.
