Fiore di Portofino

Initially sharp and harsh on the skin, smoky green, then all variations of lemon unfold. From refreshing and bitter to juicy, sour to pleasantly sweet. Over the hours it becomes increasingly floral, I especially smell the carnation. A green note resonates, so it doesn't become overbearing. Overall, an unobtrusive, summery all-rounder. After ten to twelve hours, it reminds me, in the best possible way, of my grandmother, who treated herself to a subtle spray from the rust-brown bottle with the golden O for the village fair.
