Aperitivo Milanese Porta Nuova

Aperitivo Milanese Porta Nuova by Trussardi is a soft, elegant fragrance centered around amaretto, almond, and creamy vanilla, balanced with a subtle powdery iris. The opening features a bright, citrus-sharp amaretto burst that quickly mellows into a tender, creamy heliotrope and vanilla core, with a touch of bitterness and dryness from iris in the drydown. It has a serum-like quality on the skin—close, comforting, and discreet—evoking the feel of a freshly washed blanket, or the gentle scent of Johnson’s baby lotion. The scent is refined and wearable year-round, especially in cooler seasons, with a delicate tenacity that stays on the skin for several hours but lacks projection or strong sillage. Many reviewers compare it to Prada Infusion d’Amande and d’Iris, highlighting its richer body and more genuine texture, though it remains less gourmand than expected. The effect is particularly intimate and personal, with a quiet elegance that feels both warm and nostalgic.
