Pacific Blue

I've been wanting to get my hands on this one for a while. Glad I finally picked it up. This seems to be another polarizing blue clone scent. Wanted to try it out, as I love the Neroli note. Was not disappointed. Smells like summer. Floral and fresh. Like clothes drying on a line. Yeah, it doesn't last all day... but what blue frag does? Lasts longer than you might think, though (on me, about four hours with light projection). Overspray and spray your clothes. It's very light and fresh, and my untrained nose detects an ever so slight marine note. Unlike the fragrance it's duplicating, it's not very expensive, so reapply as needed. If I paid the TF toll for this performance, I'd be pissed; but I didn't, so I'm okay with it. I think you need to like these types of fragrances to enjoy this one? Perfectly unisex/leaning slightly feminine, but I love it. This will definitely be in my spring and summer rotation from now on!

This is my most current choice for a warm weather sent. I will agree with other reviews that say Pacific Blue is a more citrus Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. It is extremely clean. My Wife describes it as a zesty soap. I find myself reaching it for it happily as not to use up my Mugler Cologne. For me, it falls between Mugler and 4711 for my no offensive, clean warm weather fragrances. Sillage is not overpowering, but not many Neroli fragrances. I do not necessary find it to be unisex, due to my own associations but to each his/her own. As you with find with Maison Alhambra scents, the price is outstanding makes for a reasonable "blind buy" candidate and would make a great gift for someone that could use an alternative to an overpowering scent in more casual settings or for someone that appreciates the confidence of a not musky clean scent .

I bought this last summer and it was awful when I first opened it, but I know these need to sit and mature so I sprayed it, put it in winter storage, and just pulled it out today. Wow! This is an amazing fresh aromatic -citrus! Perfectly unisex but I’m giving it to my husband because he doesn’t have any scents like this for the warm weather......or maybe we’ll share it lol.

I just like the smell of sunscreen a lot and wanted to wear that scent year round without actually wearing sunscreen. So in my search for that scent profile, this is pretty much the closest you'll find for a good price. When we're in the depths of January winter blues, I'll be reaching heavily for this.

This is a cheap and cheerful little fragrance. A very fizzy citrus scent on my skin. I don’t disagree that it is rather artificial but I still think it’s got a bit of nice balance. It reminds me of lemonade ice lollies or lemon hard candies. It’s an easy wear and great value for money.

100% unisex. On my skin, it comes off as a sweet floral citrus 😅 (I'm a woman). Long-lasting on me, and it performs perfectly in humid/hot weather. No maceration needed, and yes... very expensive! It’s a solid 10/10 🍋🪻🏖️

Last week i acquired this bottle. Since then the feeling about has been a little strange, like a roller coaster. I was looking for a new fragance for spring and summer seasons, which i found it (it wasnt this one). When i was about to pay it, one of the store employees said, "Do you know this fragrance? Its new". Soooo i sprayed it. Well, i was very surprised, the scent was very fresh and likable, it was cheap and when i asked about the duration (kinda big mistake), it was supposedly great. When i got home, i sprayed it again, smells fine. Then, i showed the fragance to my family. First words: "Oh, you smell like a clean baby". They were right, it reminds me the smell of a freshly bathed baby. So, it is bad? No, because you get used to the scent and it becomes a more matured after a couple of days. I even got some compliments of my 30+ female co-workers. The fragance is pretty fresh, citrusy, but a little synthetic, short longevity and poor sillage. For the price its ok, but i think i wouldnt buy this one again.

This is the scent I’ve been looking for. The neroli and orange blossoms are intense for the first few hours. I’m getting about 5-6 hours of noticeable projection and for hot and humid Florida, that’s pretty good. My nose is not trained to the art of note recognition so I’ll say it’s clean and fresh. I also get beach vibes from the suntan lotion scent but it’s nice. Not a Hawaiian Tropic smell either but maybe Coppertone QT. The stuff that would dye your skin orange. Definitely unisex and not leaning to either side. I also like what they did with the bottle after being forced to change it but the name could be misleading.

I like it a lot. Absolutely undeniably beachy. My Mom's got a place down the shore so I threw my bottle in my bag on my way down since it's an appropriate fragrance to wear at the beach, at the ice cream store, when you're minigolfing. I forgot to bring it back though. She just texted me and informed me she likes it so much this is her bottle now. No big loss, I'd be annoyed if I was paying for the original, but this stuff is so adorable I'll just snag another.

Clone of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. This one got 2 months of maturation as initially the citrus wasn't coming through at all. Now it's zesty, salty soap, that is actually citrusy, and very grassy in the open. Neroli and orange blossoms come through more prominently in the heart before drying down to a woody earthy musk in the base. I want to do a side-by-side with Banana Republic Neroli Woods to see which one is the more enjoyable wear.

Opens more with more citrus than TF. Smelled a little synthetic like a citrus floor cleaner. But the dry down is very good. The citrus and synthetic smell dies down and the neroli and other white florals kick in. It's honestly a great light and day time spring/summer fragrance if you like citrus and white florals. Definitely unisex and very similar to TF neroli portofino.

It's a very fresh smell that reminds me of clean laundry. A good one if you want to smell clean and it's very inoffensive and pleasant, but I don't think it's overly interesting and it will make people ask what fabric softener you use. The flowers really push through on the scent profile, and it is a bit powdery. I like it overall.

I blind bought this for myself but ended up giving to my wife. Smells like the beach; I even get a whiff of sun screen but in a good way, which I never thought I would say. It is a great summer scent that leans feminine. It doesn't last long but at this price point, you can spray excessively to make up for that.

I feel pacific blue has been weakened compared to porto neroli, liked porto neroli better. Unfortunately I gave away one of my bottles of the old variation. Now I'm left with the weaker pacific blue after using all the first iteration 🫡

Smells like a fresh lemon drop candy with orange blossom. Love this for an easy reach fresh fragrance for hot summer days. This is a simple, pleasant and light wearing scent at a reasonable price. Spray liberally.

Absolutely a worthy clone of Neroli Portofino. The biggest difference between them two is ... price. Safe buy, safe wear

I like this one quite a lot but man that performance is.... Bad. About an hour after application, I can bring my wrist to my nose and not smell ANYTHING. But when you can smell it? Oh man it's nice. Creamy, delicious white florals and citrus. Kind of smells like fruit loops sometimes in a really weird way. Once you smell the fruit loops, you can't un-smell the fruit loops. Very gender neutral and unisex. The only reason people are saying it leans male is because of the blue packaging. Anyone can pull this off. Pretty close to the OG Tom Ford Neroli Portofino but man, the performance sucks on this thing. Just be ready to have an atomizer.

Smells like a citrus cleaner, but once it dries down becomes more pleasant. Works well for both men and women but could lean a tiny more feminine in my opinion. It is not a fragrance I will repurchase.

This one is ok. Very lemony, doesn't last a super long time. Very typical freshy. Lemons aren't great on me, and it's very lemon and white florals dominant. Not something I will use - decluttered.

I bought this perfume and yes it was cheap but I didn't expect it to smell like pine needles. When I bought it I liked it even though it didn't smell anywhere near like Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford. It actually smells like you mixed lemons and let them steep in a cleanser with lots of pine needles. The longevity isn't good on my skin either, around 1-2 hours. It's definitely not a safe blind buy, I don't recommend it.

Straight in the trash Lemon floor cleaner with coin operated laundry detergent. Took weeks to not smell like pure synthetic citrus, even after that its still awful, musty and old. Not a dupe of anything and wearable only in that it is mild and disappears quickly from the skin

Straight up window cleaner or toilet disinfectant.

الرائحة صعبة جدا، يجب ان تقنع نفسك بالاعجاب بها، لاتخدعك النوتات المذكورة الرائحة حامضة ولكن ليست حمضية الليمون، بل كانها ورد متعفن حامض. الرائحة حادة جدا ما ادري لا اعرف كيف المفروض انظر لهذا العطر من اي زاوية واي استخدام، حاد جدا وفاقع يصعب استساغته. رائحة طبية حادة مع ورود بيضاء متحمضة تقريبا هذه هي الرائحة. بعد مايبرد مقبول ورائحة نظافة ولكنه ليس ممتاز جودته مابين الجيدة والمقبوله ولكنها افضل من اغلب جودة عطور ميسون الحمراء وهذه نقطة مهمه في عطور ميسون الحمراء لان اغلبها رديئة الجودة اتمنى بعد مايتخمر تهدأ ريحته شوي، ولكنه قد يكون فعلا هكذا فلا ادري ٤/١٠ - The scent is very challenging. You really have to convince yourself to like it, so do not be misled by the listed notes. The smell is sour, but not citrusy like lemon. It is more like a rotten, acidic flower sourness. Very sharp and harsh. I honestly do not know from which angle this fragrance is supposed to be appreciated or for what kind of use. It is extremely sharp and piercing, hard to tolerate. A sharp medicinal smell with sour white florals. That is basically the scent. After it dries down, it becomes more acceptable and clean smelling, but still not great. The quality is between acceptable and good, but it is better than most Maison Alhambra fragrances, which is an important point since many of them are poor in quality. I hope that after maceration the scent calms down a bit, but it may simply be how the fragrance is. 4/10

Copy/paste of my old bottle version review. I can't tell a difference between the two. That flowery neroli/citrus scent is within my top 5 favourite scent profiles. I love/hate 4711 due to its VERY poor longevity and love/hate TF NP due to its outrageous price and poor longevity. This bridges those gaps perfectly. This is the same sort of sharp citrus and flowery scent that you get from TFNP and 4711. Those that don't enjoy this sort of smell will say it's like a strong lemon cleaner. Performance, for what this is, is great at about 3-4ish hours tops. It will be loud and noticeable for the first couple hours. Clothes will do the heavy lifting in the final hour. I found both the new and old bottle versions very easily. This one seems popular as the price is slightly jacked up compared to the rest of this line regardless of where I looked. For me this is a great buy but then again this is a scent profile that I have loved since I was a kid first putting his nose to a bottle of 4711 ever so long ago. If you want an even longer lasting version then look to Al Haramain Portfolio Neroli Canvas. It will cost double+ the price and is only 75ml but it will net you a couple more hours from each use.

Purchased this because I LOVED Tom Ford Neroli Portofino and heard this was a pretty spot on dupe. And I have to say...it is. It maybe doesn't dry down quite as froot-loopy as TFNP but it's definitely still there and unless you are smelling both side by side, you would never know the difference. I'd say it's about a 90% clone. That said, it is unfortunately also a clone in longevity :'( It doesn't last more than a few hours on my skin and clothes, though it does seem to project better in that time. BUT at least it's not $400+ CAD, so I don't feel bad about drenching myself in this! So if you too loved TFNP but need better cost-per-wear, I think you'll also be happy with this! The scent: A bright neroli citrus that dries down musky, froot-loop. Can see this being amazing on both men and women in the summer!

Every single review below .. is TRUE. A very good clone of TF NP and 4711 (both of which contain real neroli oil. And as an owner of a small thimble full of pure 100% neroli oil , I can tell you that it's nasal orgasm to smell the real deal. It takes a LOT of those little white orange blossoms to make an oz. of oil- but yeah- there is real neroli in here !) I'm waiting to see if it gets any stronger than NP, thus far it's doin' good. Back in the old days - all the NP clones SUCKED as it was. GRADE: B plus? (If this lasts for 4-5 hours it's getting an "A"). Great for a summer "dumb grab" and good for a gift to a younger person who wants to move up from body sprays. Unisex , of course this is . THE bottle is nice too! Normally Arab clone house bottles look like ugly 1980s furniture.

A clone of Prada Amber Pour Homme that stays linear. This like the drydown of PAPH never changed and kept pushing the same notes from start to finish. Very amber neroli with citrus opening. Somehow reminds me of Nivea After shave mixed with original Eau De Cologne (green liquid). While PAPH smoothens out this does not. This stays linear forever and keeps giving the Citrus Neroli profile forever. Also do not overspray this because it's not long lasting. The intensity of this might turn off people around you. It's not cloying but synthetic overload of a freshener kind of profile. Going to let it macerate and see if it smoothens out. Not a blind buy.

Blind buy and I liked the smell right away, but it did have more of a vibe you'd associate with a pleasant laundry product or air freshener and not something you would necessarily want to wear as a personal fragrance. Always a good smell, but maybe tweetering on the edge of being harsh and chemically. After a month or two of maceration it has mellowed and that chemical edge has softened and has become more wearable.

just got this in the mail today! Ive yet to test the longevity but wow does this smell good! To my nose, the scent profile is extremely close to TFs neroli portofino, maybe just a touch creamier / more sunscreen like. For fans of neroli portofino, this is definitely a must buy especially since its only a fraction of the price 🙂↕️

This is mostly TF Neroli Portofino but the opening is more citrusy. Simple, fresh, classic but nothing new under the sun. Might smell too soapy or too "old" or too similar to a cleaning product to some, but that could be said of any fragrance with this neroli DNA including Neroli Portofino.

I have no idea what happened. This smells like a chemical mess to me now ! I was sampling a few more natural , higher end perfumes before I put this on ...... smells terrible after that . Same thing happened with the peach fragrance in this line.....

I already know I like this scent profile and I'm glad this delivered. It's very fresh, citrusy with a bit of ginger (although it's not listed). I think it's decently well blended and inoffensive. I might buy a full bottle for next summer.

This fragrance is similar to Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
