  1. I don’t quite know exactly what Portugal or the Douro River smell like, but if this cologne captures their essence, it must be something akin to paradise. It’s a citrus fougère with classic notes and a touch of barbershop sophistication that makes you feel like Vito Corleone the moment you put it on. Perfect for spring and summer, or straight after a shave; it’s the kind that instantly lifts your mood. I’m thinking of buying every bottle I can find of this thing.
