What do reviewers say about Portofino'97 and Contralto?
It costs more than it should. That's not the fragrance's fault, it's yours for not budgeting better. It's a sun-drenched memory, bottled for endless summer nights.Portofino'97
A fragrance that doesn't play it safe. The powdery sweetness is there, creamy vanilla, Peru balsam, that cashmere softness, but it's backed by a spiced heart that keeps it from drifting into safe.Contralto
