Escale A Portofino

Escale A Portofino, a Fresh Citrus Cologne

Escale à Portofino evokes a sunny Italian riviera. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot, lemon, and petitgrain before an orange blossom and cypress heart settles over almond, cedar, and musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

Dior built Escale à Portofino as a fresh, elegant citrus cologne inspired by the Italian coast. The idea was easy, refined holiday freshness.

That bright elegance is its appeal. The citrus keeps it zesty, the orange blossom and cypress add a green softness, and the almond and cedar give it warmth. Our interpretation follows that same fresh path.
