    I searched and searched for this perfume, finally snagged it at duty free, and was blown away—only to realize it was a fatal mistake: on my skin, it smells like dust and old stuff, nothing like the first impression 😩 It was my first fiasco in the perfume world, which is why I remember it, but the scent 🤢 I wish I could forget it 🤣

  2. Elsabeatriz

    I searched and searched for this perfume, found it at a duty-free store, and fell in love, but it was a huge mistake to buy it. On my skin, it smells very strong, like powder and soap, nothing like my first impression 😦 It was my first mistake in the perfume world, which is why I remember it, but the smell 🤢 I wish I could forget it 🤣

    I went with the good reviews and bought it blind. What a bad decision! It doesn’t evoke any dreamy summer in Portofino, and the notes aren’t identifiable; they’re synthetic and cheap, never evolving into something more delicate. It doesn’t smell clean or aquatic, but rather synthetic, sweet, and cloying—very simple.

    I got fooled by the good reviews and bought it blindly. Bad move. It doesn’t smell like a dreamy summer in Portofino; the notes aren’t noticeable, they’re synthetic and cheap, and they don’t evolve into anything finer over time. It’s not a clean or aquatic scent; it smells synthetic, sweet, and cloying. It’s just basic.

  5. Delicious fragrance, super fresh with a clean feeling. One of the Light Blue flankers that’s not just citrusy but also musky and powdery. Medium longevity and soft sillage—you’ll need to reapply. Too bad it was limited edition; I hope they relaunch it. Absolutely gorgeous.

    I love it! I’m not super into perfumes, but I wear it when I’m feeling happy. It complements my personality; it’s a beautiful, feminine scent. I think it works for day and night because it’s versatile. It’s elegant and leaves a distinct trail. Highly recommended. Sadly, it’s hard to find since it’s limited edition.

    I loved it! I regret buying the small version of this limited edition; I’d never smelled something so floral, fresh, aquatic, and fruity all at once, yet still very feminine. It’s gorgeous, ideal for every day, spring, and summer. I still keep the bottle in its box.

    I adored this perfume and regret only buying the small bottle of this limited edition! I’ve never smelled anything so floral, fresh, aquatic, and fruity all at once while still being feminine. Stunning. Perfect for everyday wear, spring, and summer. I still keep the bottle in its box.

    It’s sexy, yet not cloying—young, light, and citrusy with floral touches that give it character. I love it especially in summer, but you can wear it all year because it’s not overwhelming. It evokes freshness, confidence, sensuality, and youth.

    My husband gifted it to me for my birthday, and honestly, I really like it. In fact, out of all D&G scents, I only like this one and the Femine.
