About This Perfume
Riiffs Portofino Noir smells like bright lemon with a peppery spice and leather warmth. It opens with coriander, basil and grapefruit, moves into orange blossom, cardamom and ginger and settles on amber, tobacco and cedar. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for casual days and the office. Released in 2021.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

The Brand
Riiffs
Riiffs' 87-perfume catalogue on Scendira is Scendira's most gender-balanced brand of any real size: 38% unisex, 33% masculine, 29% feminine, none dominating. Woody (29 perfumes) and citrus (28) lead the accords, with amber (25), sweet (22), and vanilla (21) close behind, and vanilla is the top individual note, in 42 of the 87 perfumes, followed by musk in 37 and amber in 33. Prices span the widest range on Scendira for a mid-large brand, $19 to $119.99, median $49.99, so budget and prestige-priced pieces sit side by side. Zenith is the most-discussed perfume by community mentions (80), closely followed by Freeze (76), both well ahead of the rest of the catalogue.
