Although I have never been on vacation in Italy.
Neroli Portofino is pure summer and vacation memories for me.
On my last vacation, we were in Ibiza and visited the Hippi Market.
There I drank delicious freshly squeezed lemonade made from lemons.
The lemonade was tasty, the island was beautiful, an experience for the whole family, and Neroli Portofino was with us.
This is how I associate this fragrance with that wonderful vacation.
I love linking scents with experiences and being catapulted back there for a moment when I spray it.

Neroli Portofino is my absolute favorite fragrance.
And I consider it the best choice among the three Portofinos.
I find it significantly finer than 4711 and it has better performance.
4711 would never be an alternative for me.

Especially now in the gray season, NP is a little ray of sunshine in the gray everyday life.

The sillage is not outstanding, but for me, that’s not a big deal.
Longevity is about 5 hours.

I love you Neroli Portofino, and you will always have a place in my collection.

Best regards,
Sebastian

The fireplace crackles and radiates its wonderful warmth.
KuschelRock Christmas is playing on the stereo.
Thick house socks snuggled up with a blanket on the favorite armchair.
A hot peppermint tea with a bit of honey for sweetness.
To make it all perfect and to unwind from the stressful everyday life, just a spritz of Back to Black.
This makes me deeply content and forget everything around me.

This is exactly the perfect moment for Back to Black.
It is a scent for cuddling, a scent for winding down, and for me, a comfort for the soul.
The fragrance starts for me with cherry, even though it’s not listed in the pyramid, but then quickly turns into an almost pure honey scent.
Sniffing on my arm does not provide the fragrance experience that Back to Black can offer.

Back to Black is a scent that you have to wear to smell the fine nuances that accompany the pure honey.
I find it unisex and recommend it to anyone who loves honey.

Autumn and winter are of course the perfect seasons for this fragrance.

Thick white snowflakes are falling from the sky.
Thick hat, gloves, and the thickest winter jacket on.
Oh, what did I forget?
Of course, a fragrance.
Today it should be Au Masculine.
Quickly sprayed on and off to the Christmas market.

The most diverse scents rise to my nose.
Delicious pastries with powdered sugar and at the candy stand a bit of licorice.
There are other scents that all blend into a wonderful aroma that makes this season so beautiful.

I got a sample of the fragrance because I had read that it smells similar to Relax.
The two have nothing in common, and my first impression was not at all Masculine, rather Feminine for me.

Recently, I tried it again and then found that I actually liked it.
A fragrance that is more Unisex and fits beautifully in this season.
Sweet, gourmand, simply delicious.

The sillage is not a bomb but is in the green range.
I would rate the longevity at 4-5 hours.

For the price, there is nothing to complain about with this fragrance.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Some passions and hobbies come and go.
I'm sure everyone knows that.
Only one passion has stayed with me for a lifetime.
The passion for perfume!
Sometimes excessive, sometimes just limited to the essentials.

And somewhere, or rather at some point, every story has its beginning.
My story with perfume begins with Cool Water.
I guess I was about 10 when I received a miniature of Cool Water as a gift at Hertie in Bamberg.
.
I was completely taken with this aquatic, fresh scent.

It was a little treasure for me.
Even an acquaintance loved the scent so much that she wore it.
Emotionally, I felt like the scent was forever on my skin back then.

Today, the scent is still a great everyday fragrance, but it has lost some of its magic for me.
It's suitable for work, daily life, and evenings.
And it's more for men over 30.

It has lost some endurance, and the sillage is not the same anymore.

Among the younger generation of women today, it won't be received as well either; everything has to be sweet and syrupy these days.
.
In my collection, I already had the dupe from Rasasi and also Green Irish Tweed.

Cool Water has always been my favorite among them.
It has more power than the Rasasi and is simply finer.
Green Irish Tweed does seem a bit more high-quality, but the performance is the same, and the price is just too high for me.

Anyone who likes aquatic scents should definitely have it in their collection.
And the price for this classic is simply great.
