Dior Escale à Portofino (2008) {New Fragrance - New Line}
Dior created a new collection of fragrances illustrating a summery cruise theme and plans to launch a new fragrance each year. The first one to be launched in May of 2008 is called Escale à Portofino and is described as a reinterpretation of a classic cologne but with feminine accents. It was created by perfumer and LVMH-Dior artistic director François Demachy........
We note in passing that an interesting "cold spices" accord is advertised, which appears to be sophisticated rendering of spice notes more commonly rendered as "warm".
Escale à Portofino:
Top notes: Calabrian bergamot - Italian citron - Sicilian petitgrain
Heart notes: bitter almond - orange blossom - juniper berry - cold spices
Base notes: cypress - cedar - white musk - caraway - galbanum.
"Escale à Portofino will make its international debut in May, with a 75ml edt retailing at £40 and a 125ml bottle selling for £56.50."
According to Cosmetic News, it will have a limited distribution from June and be sold only through one door in the US. It is another attempt for Dior to present an exclusive boutique image after La Collection Particulière.
