Mandarino Di Amalfi aims to capture the calm idyll of the whitewashed villas dotting the cliff sides of Amalfi, according to the brand. The fragrance opens with an abundance of coastal Italian ingredients. Top notes include tarragon, spearmint, blackcurrant, bergamot, grapefruit, lemon sfumatrice (an artisanal pressed lemon oil) and basil.
Cool black pepper and coriander seed complement a floral core comprising orange flower, clary sage, jasmine and Shiso leaf. The base blends vetiver, amber, labdanum, musk and civet.
Costa Azzurra evokes the sun-baked landscape of coastal and island Mediterranean woods, where pines and oaks mingle with wild-growing herbs and salty water.
The fragrance opens with a hint of fucus – a species of seaweed – which is combined with driftwood and agarwood accords, enriched with ambrette seed, celery seed and caradamom.
The heart features armoise, juniper berry, myrtle, basil, French lavender, lemon and yellow mandarin. The dry-down incorporates citrus and resin from the lentisque shrub, olibanum, incense, vetiver and vanilla.
The Neroli Portofino trio is presented in glass flacons coloured in complementary shades of sea and sky blue. All three bottles are labelled with a gold plaque and are packed in matching Private Blend outer cartons.
In travel retail the line will be available at Antalya Airport Terminal 2; Beirut Airport Departures; DFS T Galleria Waikiki; Dubai International Airport Terminal 1 Concourse 3; Jordan Airport Departures; Larnaca Airport Departures; London Heathrow Airport Terminals 3, 4 & 5; Moscow Domodedovo Airport; Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 2; Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport; and Tel Aviv Airport, Departures.
