Borgo Acqua di Portofino 2013 Eau de Toilette Intense
Top Review
aparter scent
If I weren't reading this now after reapplying "Borgo"; I didn't expect such a detailed pyramid.
"Borgo" starts with a pleasantly fresh and sour, slightly sharp scent. Then there is an intermezzo with Ambroxan, so amber resin, and "Borgo" takes off into a delicately spicy floral second note that embraces the first one in a balanced and independent way. Thus, the scent remains for a longer time, almost until the end. Now that I know, "Borgo" actually smells of lime and sour cherry, bergamot is subdued. The fine floral scent lays over it. I don't know what it is with the glue seeds, how they smell, but I will note it for my ingredients list and find out.
Nothing else happens with the scent on my skin. I can only recognize patchouli and cedar during the second testing, right at the end and after I had reapplied at the very beginning. I don't miss them. I don't perceive vanilla at all.
"Borgo" is once again a scent that presents a beautiful jasmine note and is further proof that jasmine in perfumes doesn't necessarily have to smell bad.
"Borgo" is a light scent for bright days, for summer. I have never smelled such a cologne-like scent, fresh, finely floral, apart.

Borgo reminds me a lot of For Her, EdT, just "cherrier" and sweeter...

The keyword "Ambroxan" is worrying me now, especially after two Santi Burgas fragrances turned out to be both bombs and monkeys not too long ago - I guess I have a little trauma now...
