Escale à Portofino in detail
Escale à Portofino belongs to La Collection Privée Christian Dior. It is an eau de toilette, lighter than most fragrances in the collection, which Dior links to a stopover on the Italian Riviera. It is built mainly with Mediterranean oils. Volute files it among citrus fragrances.
Dior lists its notes without sorting them into tiers: Calabrian bergamot, Italian citron, an ancient citrus close to lemon, Sicilian petitgrain, bitter almond, which softens the freshness of the citrus, orange blossom and aromatic, resinous Mediterranean cypress.
Escale à Portofino suits spring and summer, by day; almond and orange blossom soften its bright citrus. Cypress adds a green, resinous touch that recalls the gardens of the Mediterranean coast.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue come close: Wild Orange by Fragrance Du Bois shares bergamot, orange blossom and cypress; Colonia Essenza by Acqua di Parma finds bergamot and petitgrain again; Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford pairs bergamot and orange blossom.
