One whiff of Escale a Portofino Eau de Toilette ($65-85), the newest fragrance by Dior, and I was hooked. Dior describes it as “a glorious experience of fresh top notes of bergamot and citron, tempting middle notes of almond and orange blossom and base notes of cool cypress essence.” YUM!

I really love the bottle. It looks like a piece of pretty crystal!
