By the editors · 2 min readPorto Bello opens with a citrus chord — grapefruit, lime, lemon, and mandarin working together to produce something bright and varied rather than flat. Petitgrain adds a green, slightly woody edge that keeps the opening from reading purely zesty.
Rum introduces warmth and sweetness as the fragrance develops, lending a slightly Caribbean, bar-adjacent character. Benzoin and frankincense in the base pull the rum in a more resinous, balsamic direction, adding depth without becoming heavy.
The overall structure is a citrus-forward fragrance with a warm, lightly sweet resinous core. The petitgrain and frankincense keep it from going full gourmand. Wears cleanly with moderate projection.
