What do reviewers say about Portinari Absoluto and Malbec Black?
This is O Boticário operating at the top of their game. The cardamom-grapefruit opening is punchy without being synthetic. Skip this if you want sweet, gourmand territory.Portinari Absoluto
Malbec Black is unapologetically rich. The oak barrel note gives it a boozy, slightly smoky character that stands apart from typical designer fragrances.Malbec Black
