Escale à Portofino by Dior
This is the first from Dior’s “cruise collection”. With its lemony, citrussy and cologney smell it would suit both women and men. Ingredients include Calabrian bergamot, Italian citron, Sicilian petitgrain, bitter almond and orange blossom, which makes it really flat and without imagination. Too simple for me, but it will have it’s customers. Eau de toilette only.
I like the advertising visual that comes with it. A sophisticated, rich women sitting on a sun-baked staircase - it makes me dream of an exotic holiday in Portofino.
If you’re really into all things lemony and citrussy, try Eau D’Hadrien by Annick Goutal which has lemon, citron tree and grapefruit. Goutal had the sense to release this same fragrance twice; there’s a man’s and woman’s version that are exactly the same!

I don’t know why they do that. Release a cologne that smells the same for both but is sold as a man’s and a woman’s version. And usually one is more expensive than the other!

Is the man’s version more musky, because I don’t see the point of it being in different bottles. Just sell it as a unisex product.

I love Dior. I don’t think my boyfriend would want to smell like lemons or grapefruits though : ]

I’ve been a fan of Dior fragrances, and I like citrusy smells. I might have to try this out for my wife, but i don’t think would want the guy’s version.

I am fan of Dior fragrances too, but now is time to get show us other perfumes from their collection, because summer has passed, and lemony and citrussy smells are to strong for autumn.

Not sure if the guys will like this one, but I might try it. And, as Jacqui said, of course the one will be more expensive. I find it amazing that beauty products for women are always higher priced - and, best of all, we fall for it time and again. I have found wonderful eye creams in men’s ranges that are just as effective at half the price.

If you like Dior you may like DKNY for women as well, but it is quite light and summery
