Perhaps it's something about the way it reacts to my body chemistry, but to me, Trumper's Eau de Portugal smells like Goo-Gone, a citrus based cleaning agent that can take duct-tape goo off of any surface. The citrus notes are way too strong and sweet. To me, it's like a very citrus heavy Eau de Cologne. Very offensive to the glands.
Thoughts on Trumper's Eau de Portugal

Is it really eau de Portugal or just Portugal?
To me, a very pure orange, with maybe some bergamot and neroli in it, but more say orange peel than most eau de Portugals, which are a very old and venerable type of men's scent. No dirty elements to speak of, as some EdPs have, and I like a whole lot.
To me, not offensive in any respect. But not too exciting in any dimension either. Very summery.

I didn't care for it esp since i had the rare opportunity to smell it side-by-side to Trumper's "Eau de Cologne" (which is really hard to find). The EDC is more of a traditional citrus, perhaps like what The Knize is refering to.
Very citrusy with zero longevity on my skin. Enjoyable and gone in 10 minutes.
This basically sums up my entire summertime-frag-hunt. Found about 10 things that were amazing . . . . for about 10 minutes.
Until I found GFT . . .GFT is good, but it reminds me of something my dad wears. And I don't plan on buying it until Trumper offers it in a bigger bottle.

Yeah, I was taking a look at that... 39gbp for a 50ml bottle. Most of their fragrances are about 42gbp for a 100ml bottle. That makes GFT very overpriced.
They do it with Sandalwood and Wild Fern too. God knows why.

Those are both somewhat cheaper than the GFT 50ml atomizer, though, so it's not quite as much an affront to sensibility.
It smells like Musgo Real shaving cream. Which I guess can be a good thing, but I was looking for something a little more subtle.
