Douro Eau de Portugal
Once again the golden combination of Penhaligon’s and perfumer M. Pickthall have created a uniquely elegant and sophisticated cologne takes it’s name from the Douro Valley in Portugal which is famed for producing port.
Opening with zesty green limes, lemon and bergamot, Douro Eau de Portugal bursts out of the bottle instantly awakening the senses. Softened by a blend of refreshing lily of the valley and geranium which add a delicate floral touch, the initial sharpness of Douro relaxes into a comforting yet mysteriously invigorating scent. Neroli, an essential oil derived from the blossom of the bitter orange tree brings a refreshing spicy yet flowery note and is a classic ingredient in perfumery that is said to have a soothing effect and was traditionally used to relieve tension. Base notes assert warmth and depth with musk, sandalwood and labdanum, which carries a leathery accord, effortlessly combining the three layers into a velvety, comforting fragrance. Wrap yourself in the soothing, sophisticated aroma for a reassuring scent that you will delight in using time and again.
