What do reviewers say about Carnaval and Neroli Portofino?
The opening with bergamot and black pepper gives a zesty, slightly spicy start that feels playful rather than generic. Gardenia and jasmine form a creamy floral heart that is unmistakably tropical.Carnaval
The opening is a bright citrus blend, bergamot, lemon, and bitter orange. Give it time. That's when the neroli and orange blossom take over.Neroli Portofino
