All you Kouros and Antaeus fans, gather round. Why this has not been reviewed and why there is no big talk about Balenciaga's Portos is beyond me. This is in the same genre as Kouros, Jules, and even Derby with its animalic chypre structure. I would say this is more animalic than Jules, but different from Kouros, as castoreum has a slightly darker, even subtler smell than the beloved civet. To some, this will be a real stinker, but to others, this will be recognized as a true king of its genre. As of now, it is out of production and rare, but the remaining bottles are still semi affordable. If any of the above tweaks your fancy, I would suggest procuring some before more make the same discovery. A true find!
