Port of call for deer
... is the name of this eau de parfum from the Sardinian fragrance workshop, freely translated. At least if you can believe leo.org. So the name makes relatively little sense, especially if you realize how stupid this actually sounds and works. Especially since the fragrance really has nothing animal about it, which even comes close to thinking of deer or red deer.
But wait! The exclusive holiday resort Porto Cervo on the northeast coast of Sardinia is meant, meanwhile a hotspot for well-to-do holiday guests as well as the jet set, who like to drop by with their sailing ships or yachts and then possibly act like top dogs.
But instead of animalistic things, coffee flashes up here - strong, sweet and with a good dash of cocoa and vanilla (thanks to benzoin and styrax). It also looks warm resinous to woody, mixed with a few citric splashes and a good portion of patchouli. Back out again extra soft with vanilla/tonka and amber.
All in all not as bad as feared in advance, but also not as convincing as you might expect from the pyramid. Apart from that, it doesn't really tell me what it has to do with the place or that the scent has something seductive about it, nor where there is a connection to Sardinia - unless Porto Cervo would consist only of cafés with styrax bushes.
Otherwise, it is more of a gourmand Oriental with a slightly woody undertone and spicy nuances. In fact, the bottle could be regarded as a niche, but in terms of its olfactory properties, it would probably be classified more as a higher-quality drugstore fragrance.
