The Princess of white flowers

Fleur De Portofino - here is the picture, “You land in Greece (I know is portofino, but this reminds me of Greece, sorry), a white balcony, looking around the surrounding nature with the sun burning on your skin, you smell a wall of white florals next to Lemon trees, hearing the wind moving on the crashing wave, and you see a beautiful white cat staring at you that probably was a beautiful girl in another life, life is good.” I don't know if this matters to anyone but, This is a scent that i sprayed every single time i changed planes in an airport (the test one, as i didnt had money at the time), and allow me to flirt with anyone on the plane, girls come next to you, i find that funny.

This is the ultimate white pure floral scent; it opens as citrus forward with the Honeysuckle being close, but the dry down goes into floral paradise. If you are Asian and you know Magnolia in nature or Syringa and Black Locust, this is the keynote you smell on top of those flowers. Still, also in the air, Magnolia in large groups is very powerful in nature and creates this beautiful note that isn’t just the first notes that many scents try to blend in, but is a constant exploration of the pollen and the core of the flower, when you walk in the jungle. You feel this on the nose, you will never forget it, this is the purest form of that key note blended to perfection with other elements that keep it stable and lasting in a bubble. Is an airy scent that gives a feeling of clean, precise, and extremely elegant without doing much. It is a very complicated scent to make because if you make any note wrong, you go instantly to a cleaning freshener product, but this isn’t; this is so serious that is laughing at the people who lower it down as such. Contrary to many comments out there, this is a crowd pleaser and specifically women love it, it isn’t hard to understand why, but is one of those simple fragrances that are made to perfection, and this is the reason why is in the private collection, is extremely complicated to create something like this.

Overpriced? Yeah, for retail price, you can find alternatives, but there is nothing that gets even closer to this beautiful balance of fresh and white floral notes. You have to understand that this type of fragrance, in general, doesn’t last, dissipates in the air as they are delicate, and leaves you as it comes, exactly as the Magnolia flowers, but this is locking it in the best way possible. Someone said it is discontinued, and it makes sense as the more I searched, the less I found it on the shelves. It’s a pity that many didn’t understand the power of this scent, but is fair to say that the retail price is really made for rich people, unfortunately, and that didn’t help at all. This could beat easily even more expensive Tuberose scents of the same ingredients and 11y later is still standing, Long life, the best White Floral scent.
