Amalfi Coast

Orange-Blossom & Soft Floral Mandarin with Mint & Vetiver... This is a dupe of Mandarino di Amalfi Tom Ford 2014, with good approximation and above average performance. The blend of fruit in the top notes reads as evoked "mandarino" and has a really soft & floral fluffy texture instead of sparkly-fizzy, and the base is mainly javanol-vetiverol which gives it some performance. This isn't too sweet and has a nice cooling mint note, but I agree with reviewer Bocca, below, this needs some dark storage after the first sprays to even out (before that, the vetiver note comes in hot, with a synthetic quality, but it evens out nicely). Gives a vacay vibe, and the colour of the bottle matches the mood of the scent well. I could imagine the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) smelling of this, or Aquaman (Jason Momoa) or his wife Mera (Amber Heard) wearing this during the Hawaii shoots. Great for hot weather, although has above average performance imho. Great value if you're prepared to store it for a bit before use. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 05/23/24: This is such a refreshing orange scent. The juicy, floral orange vibes have come more forward now and it's smoothed out even more. I find it more unisex as it ages, and I'm getting reminders of scents like Orange de Bahia Boucheron. Love, love, love. Update 01/05/25: Wow! I'm really getting the orange-blossom now. Amazing! Love it.

So a follow up, this is a scent profile leaning to classic Mediterranean aftershaves and perfumery. In reviews for any of this genre, it’s not for everyone. Medicinal, bathroom cleaner, air freshener...You will see them all. This take is a little heavier in some aspects, which does aid performance. With that, it still meets the profile very well. Just Jack is a very hit and miss house for sure, but heavily trashing them when they pretty much accomplished what they went for is again not helpful. Also word to the wise, Tom Ford makes some great things, also reformulates and charges huge dollars for everything he slaps his name on. Perfumery chemicals all come from the same flavouring houses, you can buy the same items yourself and dabble in your own creations. How one chooses to drop their hard earned money is up to themselves, but if I fear this profile is too toilet bowl cleaner smelling, maybe try this cheaper alternative before dropping huge coin on the same profile.

I bought this just before summer end and did get to wear it multiple times. I will not get into the specific clone details, because this scent profile has been done countless times, which for me makes it more a scent profile than clone. It simply sits in that Mediterranean fresh citrus, oceanic style. Bright, CLEAN and fresh. Think the many Neroli citrus scents from Aqua De Parma, John Varvatos Artisan Blue, and yes Tom Fords offerings. Performance is fine for this genre, four hours or so with it sitting close to skin after that. I really like this one, it does not come across as scratchy as some cheaper offerings can, this is a very good summer staple. Great for the office and will come across mature and clean. Pretty good bang for your buck IMO.

This is a little gem. That is, if you appreciate the citrus mixed with a little 'animalic' background. The opening is - as can be expected- fresh and sparkling. The combination of the citron, grapefruit and mint works to make it more interesting then your average joe citrus. Sillage and longevity are not bad at all for a citrus bases scent. The middle and base notes help. I pick up the amber, musk and vetiver pretty soon, some 10 minutes into the dry down. The musk will add a little powdryness but nothing heavy. All in all, an intoxicating summer gem, done ever so slightly different then usual. For the price, blind buy worthy. Scent: 8/10 Sillage: 6.5/10 Longevity 7/10 Value: 9/10

Fresh, floral and zesty. This smells like walking through a field with a fresh glass of lemonade. The citrus note sits front and center for me and provides a nice zesty, almost effervescent, note. It's backed by subtle white florals and a sweet, almost honey note in there. You can almost smell the pollen in the fragrance. Perfect for summer or spring imo. I get a really strong projection in the first hour or so and then it radiates nicely for up to 6ish hours after which it becomes a skin scent for me. I've sprayed this on at the start of the day and still am able to smell it before I go to bed at night. For the price, this is a no brainer for me.

TF fanboys have gathered on this page to spill their vitriolic rage. I would be enraged too if a €10 product smelled exactly the same as, and performed better than their €350 TF joke. Don't listen to haters this one is as good (or as bad) as TFNP.

Very good clone of Mandarino Di Amalfi. To those saying it smells synthetic, you need to let these UAE clones macerate. Spray a few sprays then leave the lid off for a few weeks.

Amalfi Coast open with harsh synthetic note. The harsh note goes away after few minutes leaving behind a very close clone of Mandarino Di Almafi TF. A great summer scent.

Amazing clone...amazing performance. And finally on Fragrantica!

* Very nice hybrid citrus aromatic fougere fragrance * Classic "soapy" drydown should appeal to old school fougere lovers * Nice blend of fresh, citrus, herbal, floral, musk, and spicy aromas * Great for those who dislike sweet fragrances * Great for those who love fougeres * Unisex * Great for outdoor activities * Great for warmer weather * Might not appeal to younger users who prefer the sweet and fresh fragrance DNA * Soapy fougere style might be too old fashioned for some users * Bested by other better citrus fougere hybrids like Sedley and Maahir Legacy * Average performer Armaf's Amalfi Coast is a part of their Just Jack line which is exclusively devoted to cloning Tom Ford fragrances. This is a clone of Mandarino Di Amalfi. It's a nice citrus and aromatic fougere hybrid fragrance. It's a good blend of fresh, citrus, herbal, floral, musk, and spicy aromas with a classic "soapy" drydown commonly associated with aldelhyde heavy classic fougeres from the past. This is quite dry and great for those who love fougeres and dry fragrances without sweetness. It might not appeal to younger users who prefer the more modern fresh and sweet fragrance DNA. This is good but users may find other fragrances on the market such as Sedley and Maahir Legacy to be better at combining the citrus and fougere DNAs while still appealing to younger modern users. This is unisex and great for warm weather and outdoor activities. Performance is average, as is common with citrus fragrances, so be prepared to overspray and respray throughout the day. Citrus and fougere lovers should like this. Recommended.

On skin this is a pretty close dupe of TF Mandarino di Amalfi. The main difference is that Amalfi Coast has a sharper (almost sour) aspect to its citrus that is not present in the TF which is utterly smooth and refined. TF is richer and deeper. Which it damn well better be for 9X the price. Amalfi Coast is a great option for those unable or unwilling to shell out the $$$ for Mandarino di Amalfi. I'll keep buying both of them.

Smells like I got lemon juice all over me. I like it but it's not what I expected. Just got it, but so far it doesn't really project and I think it last about 4 hours. Maybe I have a tough time detecting this type fragrance. I'm trying to wear it for indoor use in the fall, but definitely more suited for summer. Something I'm going to wear to the gym and when I don't want too much attention.

Nothing special at all. You get as much as you paid for it (€15). Don't expect too much. It changes very quickly from the expected smell of citrus - mandarin to a mild soapy white flower smell. It stays there until the end. This is another bottle that will be gathering dust in the back of the shelf. You mention Tom Ford, please don't..

I'm not familiar with whatever Tom Ford fragrance they were trying to clone, but it smells like this synthetic chemical "mandarin" note that I have smelled in other budget fragrances. It's a tad harsh, mineral and makes me think of a chlorinated swimming pool.

Maybe I have a bad batch but this is straight up garbage, even for the cheap price. Synthetic, harsh, toilet cleaner scent. Stay away from it and don't spray this garbage on your skin. I will use it as a toilet fresher. Comparing this to Tom Ford is an abomination! Better go for a Zara scent, cheaper than this and you won't have a chemical intoxication.

It's ok for the money but smells very much like air freshener. In fact that's what I use it for in the toilet. So it's an expensive toilet spray or chea fragrance depending how you look at it. Definitely not a rebuy for me.

My girlfriend loves it. It smells like spray-on sunscreen to me.

This scent is awful. Legitimately terrible. I am a pretty big fan of Mandarino di Amalfi and I am sad it has been canceled. I would love for this to be an excellent clone, but I had to throw it in the garbage. It loses all of the citrus that makes Mandarino di Amalfi amazing, leaving only the harsh mint, tarragon, and neroli scents. This makes it feel very, very sharp. It is completely unwearable. 0/10 plus MASSIVE disappointment. If someone made a good dupe for under $50, I'd buy it tomorrow.

I must have gotten some kind of mix up in the processing because to me this has straight up vomit smell. Like imagine vomiting into your hands and rinsing them gently with water, but that underlying vomit smell is still stuck to your hands. Thats what this smells like to me, and to all the members of my family, who all have different preferences to me. Hopefully after maceration, this will turn into a more palatable scent, but at the moment i absolutely hate it

I dont understand most of the reviews. This is a very synthetic product with no similarity with mandarina de amalfi. Horrible, even at a 10€ price. Dont buy it
