Acqua di Portofino is launching the new fragrance for women named Borgo, presented in July 2013. The perfume has been inspired by the Mediterranean and Portofino, small village that has not been changed for years and has maintained its unique charm. The new perfume transfers aromas of narrow streets offering scents of sea, juicy fruit and flowers, as well as colorful landscape of tall and lean houses colored in various colors and set at the bay in characteristic manner. Fragrance for modern and dynamic woman invites for a stroll around the narrow streets of Portofino, looking for the unexplored and the new. She is looking forward to her new experience, the smell of flowers and colors that complement the whole experience, charming details, harmony of this beautiful place and the sea has touched it. Top notes of the Mediterranean fragrance Borgo mix luminous citruses (bergamot and lemon) with a specific variety of wild cherries that grow in Portofino and are typical for the region. Its name is Visciole and the smell is very intense, juicy and sweet. The heart of the composition highlights Pitosforo, also typical plant in Portofino, surrounded by white flowers, jasmine and ylang-ylang. Pitosforo (pittosporum) is a shrub that flourishes with small white flowers leaving intense, sweet fragrance. It plays a major role in this composition. The base is characterized by the harmony of cedar wood and patchouli, softened with a hint of vanilla, musk and warm amber. Borgo arrives in characteristic flacon, shaped like previous editions of Acqua di Portofino, as100ml EDT Intense. The outer carton is signed by Portofino, with an aquarelle of bright colors transferring the unique character of this beautiful place.
