I love this one and I use it everyday. Well I use Alhambra clone as it smells the same and I don’t feel guilty when I shower myself with it. In the summer I really feel fresh when I used it.
originally neroli portofino was launched in 2007. it's one of the 12 original tom ford private blends perfumes along with amber absolute, oud wood, tuscan leather, tobacco vanille, noir de noir, black violet, moss breches, bois rouge, purple patchouli, japon noir, and velvet gardenia. back then all the bottle were in dark amber colored bottle with gold label. then neroli portofino relaunched in 2011 in this blue green colored bottle, which is the version that you have in the video.
This is BEAUTIFUL. I still think that Tom Ford should drop this one down to their lower tier (less expensive line) for two reasons: 1) Because they're doing this with more and more fragrances (latest example: the 2023 rerelease of Cafe Rose) and 2) They would still have Neroli Portofino Forte at the higher tier.
Simple perfumes like Neroli Portofino, Mandarino di amalfi, Soleil blanc must all be Signature line . Prive line must only have perfumes like Tabaco Vanille or Ebene fume or Soleil De feu ...
Ive always loved neroli portofino and mandarino di amalfi acqua despite the performance issues, infact Ive just repurchased mandarino di amalfi acqua because it been discontinued, had to pay more for my small 50ml but i will cherish it, i hope tom ford can perhaps relaunch the fragrance again because i just feel great wearing it no matter what the weather
I like layering Neroli Portofino with Grey Vetiver EDP. Do you have any good layering combos with Neroli Portofino? Also, who's selling bottles of the forte? Oh! Favorite Tom Ford is Tobacco Oud and Fougere D'argent
I am planning to buy Neroli Portofino on Monday. Many reviews are so negative!! Since I have many Tom Ford’s fragrances, I thought this one would add a different touch. Any opinion from you my esteemed friend?
Thanks for the kind words. It smells fantastic, but the longevity could be better. That's the only concern. This time of the year is the best time to get, so I'd say go for it!
I really love this one but once was told "Oh I love the nostalgic smell of Hawaiian Tropic" So now when I give the initial spray, all I can smell is Hawaiian Tropic...until it dries down. Got the same thing with Tobacco Vanille-"Oh what is that? I love the cola smell" COLA? Now that's all I smell with TV 😣
It is very very similar to Turkish Lemon Cologne. When I bought this, I thought I paid 65 times more to this perfume instead of grabbing lemon cologne 😂
Nahh cheap smelling Mediterranean citrus perfume. If you live around the Mediterranean.. and I think you recognise this as well.. this could be bought for 10$ around there with even more longevity 😅😝.. neroli? Give me Xerjoff Nio and there we talk quality
