The fourth eau de parfum in the Neroli Portofino Collection, FLEUR DE PORTOFINO is the\u00a0captivating, floral complement to the eau-fraiche vibrancy of Neroli Portofino, the oceanic\u00a0woodiness of Costa Azzurra and the citrus-herbal effervescence of Mandarino di Amalfi.Inspired by the cascades of flowers that spill off the branches of the white acacia trees that\u00a0line the tranquil avenues, FLEUR DE PORTOFINO creates a crisp and bright floral accord\u00a0from this unexpected bloom, then surrounds it with effervescent citruses and wraps it in\u00a0tantalizing acacia honey.<\/p>\n
The top note is a concoction of crisp, citrus essences. A blend of Sicilian lemon, mandarin\u00a0from Sorrento, Calabrese bergamot, and juicy tangerine conjure an image of an orange\u00a0grove soaked with coastal oceanic rains. This cocktail is furthered by bigarade (inedible\u00a0bitter orange) leaf absolute for depth and body. Violet leaf absolute Orpur\u00ae wraps the accord\u00a0with its green vegetal nuances. Syringa also known as mock orange flower\u2014supports the\u00a0opening notes with a floral impression that is as heady as orange flower, but with fresher\u00a0nuances of honeysuckle and green gardenia buds.<\/p>\n
The heart of the fragrance is an accord constructed around the white acacia blossom.\u00a0Combining notes of cassie tree and mimosa, white acacia is distinguished by its orange\u00a0flower richness and addictive, spicy trail. This beguiling note is paired with white petaled\u00a0magnolia, and then wrapped in a bouquet of iconic Mediterranean floral extracts: orange\u00a0flower Templar, Moroccan rose absolute, and an exceptional quality of jasmine \u201cgrandiflorum\u201d\u00a0concrete, known for its narcotic scent.<\/p>\n
The dry down is structured around a delectable acacia honey accord\u2014a honey made\u00a0exclusively from the nectar of the acacia flower. Cistus absolute lends a golden, resinous touch,\u00a0while vanilla absolute and Tolu balsam lend their balsamic warmth. Civet and ambrette seed\u00a0absolute offer a parting animalic muskiness that sensuously supports the floral heart. FLEUR\u00a0DE PORTOFINO embodies an Italian persona with a deep desire to be noticed and possessed.<\/p>\n
