  1. I don’t know exactly what Portugal or the Douro River smells like, but if this cologne captures that essence, it must be close to paradise. It’s a citrus fougère with classic touches and a barbershop vibe that makes you feel like Vito Corleone the moment you spray it on. Perfect for spring and summer, or right after a shave; it’s the kind that instantly lifts your mood. I’m already thinking about buying every bottle I can find of this stuff.
