Where navigation was born, and refinement took root.
Porto 1394 honors the city where Portugal’s Age of Discovery began. Birthplace of Prince Henry the Navigator, Porto was shaped by merchants, shipbuilders, and Atlantic winds that carried ships toward the unknown. This soap captures that origin moment — a balance of strength and elegance, tradition and curiosity — marking Porto as the compass point from which exploration set sail.
The design and scent draw inspiration from Porto’s refined side, famously known as the City of Camellias. Through maritime trade, camellias became symbols of elegance and cultivated beauty in Porto’s historic gardens. The fragrance opens with fresh camellia, lemon, and grape, unfolding into a floral heart of rose, lily of the valley, and aquatic green notes, echoing garden air touched by the Atlantic.
The base settles into a warm, lasting trail of sandalwood, vetiver, white musk, nutmeg, and vanilla, reflecting Porto’s deep-rooted craftsmanship and historic soap-making tradition. Porto 1394 is a refined artisan soap created for those who value heritage, botanical elegance, and timeless Portuguese design.
