Fleur de Portofino

Fleur De Portofino - here is the picture, “You land in Greece (I know is portofino, but this reminds me of Greece, sorry), a white balcony, looking around the surrounding nature with the sun burning on your skin, you smell a wall of white florals next to Lemon trees, hearing the wind moving on the crashing wave, and you see a beautiful white cat staring at you that probably was a beautiful girl in another life, life is good.” I don't know if this matters to anyone but, This is a scent that i sprayed every single time i changed planes in an airport (the test one, as i didnt had that much money at the time), and allow me to flirt with anyone on the plane, girls come next to you, i find that funny. This is the ultimate white pure floral scent; it opens as citrus forward with the Honeysuckle being close, but the dry down goes into floral paradise. If you are Asian and you know Magnolia in nature or Syringa and Black Locust, this is the keynote you smell on top of those flowers. Still, also in the air, Magnolia in large groups is very powerful in nature and creates this beautiful note that isn’t just the first notes that many scents try to blend in, but is a constant exploration of the pollen and the core of the flower, when you walk in the jungle. You feel this on the nose, you will never forget it, this is the purest form of that key note blended to perfection with other elements that keep it stable and lasting in a bubble. Is an airy scent that gives a feeling of clean, precise, and extremely elegant without doing much. It is a very complicated scent to make because if you make any note wrong, you go instantly to a cleaning freshener product, but this isn’t; this is so serious that is laughing at the people who lower it down as such. Contrary to many comments out there, this is a crowd pleaser and specifically women love it, it isn’t hard to understand why, but is one of those simple fragrances that are made to perfection, and this is the reason why is in the private collection, is extremely complicated to create something like this. Overpriced? Yeah, for retail price, you can find alternatives, but there is nothing that gets even closer to this beautiful balance of fresh and white floral notes. You have to understand that this type of fragrance, in general, doesn’t last, dissipates in the air as they are delicate, and leaves you as it comes, exactly as the Magnolia flowers, but this is locking it in the best way possible. Someone said it is discontinued, and it makes sense as the more I searched, the less I found it on the shelves. It’s a pity that many didn’t understand the power of this scent, but is fair to say that the retail price is really made for rich people, unfortunately, and that didn’t help at all. This could beat easily even more expensive Tuberose scents of the same ingredients and 11y later is still standing, Long life, the best White Floral scent.

Finally a Tom Ford perfume for women that I actually like! Everything else I have smelt by him so far has proven to be quite masculine, smoky and woody smelling, but this is a beautiful and slightly citric white floral that smells so fresh and lovely. I can smell the citruses with the syringa (with some honeysuckle nuances) at the top straight away, giving me a very serene and tranquil vibe that makes me think of being under a white flower covered tree near a lake. I get some green nuances from the orange and violet leaves too. In the heart notes I can smell most prominently the black locust note, followed by the notes of jasmine and orange blossom in that order. Fleur de Portofino has a very full and lush white floral heart and the black locust note is one of the most realistic and naturalistic black locust notes in a perfume I have ever smelt. It feels like this perfume is built around the smell of the beautiful white flowers on a black locust tree for sure. I have to say that I don't really smell the osmanthus or rose in this. It must just add some complexity, depth and floral lushness to this particular fragrance by Tom Ford. At the base I can smell the black locust honey and the musk mallow. I feel the honey draws out the sweetness of the black locust scent in this perfume and makes it even more lush and heightened in its fragrance. The musk mallow makes this perfume slightly more musky and slightly more powdery, but I wouldn't call this a powdery scent. It's still quite fresh smelling. I can't smell the civet note in this, but I think it is probably drawing out the animalic properties of the white flowers in the heart and again making this a more intensely floral affair. I don't smell any of the other notes in the base. Fleur de Portofino lasted 5 hours on my skin and this perfume had moderate projection on me as well. I don't personally think it is a weak perfume but I don't think it is a beast in terms of longevity or sillage though. You'd still need to re-spray it at the end of a working day. I find this perfume very elegant but at the same time inoffensive (not necessarily a bad thing at all!) and I think that you could wear it anywhere both day and night, including in one's office at work. You could wear it in both spring and summer too, when its notes would be intensified more and its fresh quality would be perfect for the warmer weather. I also love the bright aqua blue glass bottle this fragance comes in. It's quite beautiful in its streamlined simplicity to look at. All of the above is why I'd give this perfume a 9/10 for sure! I'm glad to be the proud owner of it.

Most of the times I'll love a Tom Ford perfume. This time I saw "Fleur" on the bottle and as I love florals, especially white floral perfumes I thought to give it a go. To my surprise Fleur de Portofino turned out to be an intense honeyed white floral with underlying indoles and some mothballs. Vintagey even. My description might not sound appealing for potential buyers, but by no means it's a negative one; not everything in the perfumeworld has to smell like burnt cotton candy. You gotta love white florals to be able to wear Fleur de Portofino. It's primarily a dense jasmine mixed with some rotten-fruity-apricot osmanthus and a honey-dripping black locust. Jasmine heaven for jasmine lovers-other florals do shine through here and there, but the most important is the jasmine, and more jasmine and then some more jasmine. No bubblegum sweetness, it's very honeyed and tropical smelling. So what if it's linear? Tom Ford has a bunch of more complex perfumes, go grab those; some of his perfumes happen to be linear, I'm okay with that. Leans heavily on the feminine side and lasted for five-six hours with good projection for the first couple of hours. For ladies, that look like ladies and behave like ladies, that are also a little naughty and sensual, still in a ladylike way. Not for the girly girl cotton candy masrshmallow princess. Very happy with my newest discovery which might become an acquisition for a spring-summer white floral, even though I've already bought Miss Dior Original, another white floral gem.

When I first sprayed this on paper, I really didn't see what the fuss was about. To me, it smelled like air freshener. Now, having spent the day wearing it after acquiring a sample, all I can say is: wow! This is a light and refreshing, citrus, white floral scent. It also has good sillage and even better longevity. Now, it would be easy to say: "Sure, but there are lots of citrusy white florals with pretty good staying power that are half the price." This would be true, but here is what I noticed. First of all, bright sparkling citrus notes, oranges and lemons. Pleasant enough. Then, on the drydown, honeysuckle notes come to the fore, which is even more pleasant. But what sets this apart from everything else I have ever worn is the musk mallow and the animalistic scent to this, which comes through after about half an hour of wearing this. It is honestly GORGEOUS and addictive. I can't stop sniffing my wrist. It makes this feel grown up, sexy and places this perfume in a whole new class. Another element to this for me, which sets it apart from the crowd, is an undertone that's reminiscent of fresh, salty sea air. But you need a bit of patience before this comes through. This is the perfect balance of light, refreshing and sexy. It would suit any age and, although it's billed as unisex, to my nose this leans towards being a more feminine scent. Certainly a fragrance for the summer - day or night. It's going on my wishlist.

I agree with the other commenters in that this is a super linear, not very long lasting fragrance. The opening is a tad antiseptic, with just a touch of honey. After a moment or two, a really authentic smelling magnolia comes through, one that reminds me of feeling their petals and stamens crumble away into my hands when I'd toy with the low-hanging branches of magnolia trees as a kid -- come to think of it, Fleur de Portofino smells almost EXACTLY like a magnolia tree in full bloom to me. It moves on to blend with the jasmine and honeysuckle to create a really intoxicating, exotic bouquet that is crisp enough to be distinctly summery. By the end, I'm left with only a pure jasmine scent lingering on my skin -- it sits close, but oh my god does it smell wonderful. There's something very light, clear, and sunscreeny about this fragrance that fits in with its bright blue bottle and sexed-up, summery ads. None of the white florals get heavy or unappealing, but investment-wise, longevity should definitely be a concern, as this one evaporates fast! ★★★

When I first sprayed my sample of Fleur de Portifino, all I could smell was a sharp bitter bergamot and regret. But experience has taught me patience is a virtue, especially with fragrances. I let her sit on the paper beside the other fragrance samples (most of which were equally disappointing, I am a bit queasy and lightheaded from hunger and I'm sure that is affecting my perception) for a few minutes while I planned the evening. Then I caught a whiff of one of the fragrances that smelled incredible to me. But which one??? I have seven testers here! I had to smell them all again until I realized it was this one. For my tastes, she needs a moment to bloom, certainly. But once she does: Phenomenal! I've liked every single Tom Ford fragrance I've tried so far, to varying degrees, this one included. I'll need more time to give a more detailed opinion, but I am writing this while I wait for dinner (yes, I should have eaten more earlier in the day, I know) and before I forget this great first impression.

I have no idea why people say this isn't long lasting, I've had this on for over 12 hours and I still smell it projecting off of me (I applied at several pulse points). Maybe people who are nose blind to white florals can't smell them anymore??? Maybe they were too shy on application?? It's a mystery to me. That aside, this is a gorgeous sunny realistic white floral with lots of Acacia and osmanthus which I love. Blindly smelling it I definitely got the osmanthus, magnolia, jasmine and orange blossom and some honey mixed with citruses. Osmanthus adds a slight fruitiness mixed with the citruses and there is some freshness from the violet leaf. There is warmth from the civet and vanilla hovering underneath. I quite love it! I could imagine some pretty and charming Italian girl strolling through Portofino wearing this (and imagine myself to be her while wearing it) Really lovely! I don't find this one to be particularly sexy like most of Tom's other fragrances...but very beautiful for daytime.

I had heard this was the summer time/day time version of Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge which is my favorite perfume. So I blind bought it and I am soo happy! I would agree this is as it was described. It's that beautiful, green, sensual jasmine complimented by a light citrus accompaniment and a slight sexy depth. I can be very sensitive to smells and I've learned that quality is everything with certain scents. Jasmine is one of those scents. This is so smooth and so well blended. Tom Ford is not perfumey perfume. I get massive headaches from perfumey perfumes which is why I love Tom Ford. This works so well on my skin. I believe perfume is just like dresses, it's not the perfume that wears the woman, it's the woman that wears the perfume. On me this is very beautiful and sexy without being overly loud. I do not like loud perfumes. I want my scent to intrigue someone and draw them in, not to force a scent on someone. This perfume is all that and more to me. Such a sleeper! Same as jasmin rouge.

I sincerely hope Tom Ford never discontinues this gem. Personally, this is my favorite perfume from Tom Ford. The magnolia is so soft and delicate it gracefully glazes your skin and the honey compliments it so well. When I was a kid my school was surrounded by magnolia trees so every spring the entire school would smell like this perfume. I guess I'm really biased towards this scent due to my love for magnolia and nostalgic assosications. The only thing I can critique about this perfume is that the longevity could be better. Ps, if you love this perfume but are on a budget I suggest you try Zara's Rose Gold, to my nose they are incredibly similar with Zara's perfume lasting longer (the magnolia is however more realistic and softer in Tom Ford's Fleur). However I'm not sure whether Rose Gold is still being sold or if it has been discontinued.

One of the most stunningly well blended fresh florals on the market- a masterpiece fragrance. She’s been a staple in my spring/summer rotation for over 8 years and I’ve gone through multiple bottles. This opens with fresh citruses. The white florals are soft, and subdued. It’s difficult to pick them out individually. Syringa and Black Locust give the impression of honeysuckle and mimosa. While honeysuckle isn’t a note in Fleur de Portofino, that’s exactly what it smells like. Honey, ambrette and civet in the dry down exude a light, sweet muskiness that feels clean and luxurious. This is a lush body wash in an opulent Mediterranean hotel- yacht life in a bottle. As with most TF summer scents, this is light wearing and not super long lasting. I get about 4 hours. However, this smells so natural and fresh that I don’t mind.

This is my second favourite perfume of all time! Fell in love with the scent as soon as I discovered it. The reason I looked for this perfume, is because of my number one favourite perfume from L'occitane, Fleur d'Or & Acacia has discontinued, so I need to find another citrusy white flower fragrance, that includes the scent of black locust. This one truly wins my heart, I may love this one even more than my top 1. So refreshing, sweet and light, even though this might be a Summer scent, I do enjoy it all year around. I find it very long-lasting, when I put it on my sweater, I can still smell it after 2 weeks, if I spray it on my hair, it will last least 24 hours, sometimes 2 days. It doesn't hold on well on my skin, but very well on clothes and hair. I get so many compliments when I use this.

I just spoke with a Tom Ford representative, and according to them, these are the confirmed notes—and as far as they know, the fragrance isn’t being discontinued! That news absolutely made my night because I love this scent. It’s a beautiful, fresh, citrusy white floral with a delicate sweetness. The mention of mimosa likely explains the slightly sharp, “sparkling” sensation in the composition, which I think adds a unique touch that many fresh fragrances lack. Is it worth the price? Probably not. But in my opinion, it’s one of the best fresh floral scents Tom Ford offers. I can’t comment much on performance, but I’d say it’s moderate, which I don’t mind for this type of fragrance. Update 12/4/25: it’s discontinued ☹️

Tried at Neiman's in Fashion Island last night... sprayed on the usual areas and gave it a few seconds to breathe. I am typically a huge Tom Ford anything fan. But this... This doesn't seem right. I feel like it does not belong in his line. It's missing a huge chunk of what makes a Tom Ford fragrance stand out from the crowd. It's sillage is low-moderate, the longevity was poor and the fragrance was faint and soft. This is more Suited for a 'Marc Jacobs' fragrance. It's very young and un-exciting, very linear and shows all its cards upfront. A little disappointed by this. Very [pleasant don't get me wrong, but anyone who is a Tom Ford collection lover, this is just not right. At All. Sweet, soft and boring.

This one took some time getting used to. At first I was about to return this then I decided to give it one more chance. Fast forward a week later, I am in love with this perfume. It smells heavenly.If you don't like white florals you probably won't like this. The citruses here fade away relatively quickly. After about 5 minutes the florals come forward and my god this smells like a flower boutique. Honey is a great note in this fragrance as sometimes the smell of white florals on it's on own can smell a bit too much. Honey smoothes things out here. So sad that is getting discontinued :( Buy it while you still can!!! 10/10

Although orange blossom and jasmine is a combination that smells wonderful in some other perfumes like Jasmine Full Montale; Fleur Narcotique Ex Nihilo; Gold Prestigium Mancera; and Rive Solare Bvlgari, somehow . . . Fleur de Portofino proves remarkable. The citruses are at once polished and sweet. The violet leaf sways through osmanthus and honey in a serpent bramble of herbacious melancholy with a scampering bustle over vanilla blonde trendles by a peppered, pouncing civet. A duel of warmth swells amidst cool rock rose of eve as musky tolu tussle for a long while before white florals peak out at citrus once more.

The king of white floral perfumes as far as I am concerned. It settles very quickly to the scent of fresh white flowers in spring, the jasmine and magnolia shine. After 30 minutes I get hints of honey and vanilla which add a gentle creaminess, but the florals are still the star of the show. I don't really get any citrus - perhaps it is there at the very beginning, and possibly hidden behind that initial ethanol blast. The strength is amazing, the sillage very good. I can imagine wearing this on a warm spring day at a garden party - well at least, that's how it makes me feel when I smell it :)

My experience? Longevity and sillage is wayyyy stronger than people say on here. Not sure what they're wearing.. I find it unlikely that ive gotten a super batch or something.. maybe people are buying fakes. The scent itself smells incredible, and like most higher end fragrances, they tend to paint a picture, This one of course is what it is named.. such a 'getaway' fragrance.. where just sniffing the atomiser conjures imagery. But hey, try it for yourself... id suggest the majority of reviews on here are more wrong than right! This is fantastic

One of my favorite summertime fragrances, that's very easy to like yet quite memorable and unique. It sweet but never cloying, light but also has density and character. It opens up citrusy, then gets creamier, but remains a very bright and fresh smelling bouquet of white florals. After about 3-4 hours it starts quieting down into soft honey vanilla, slightly balsamic and animalic. Leans feminine, but I can totally see why it's unisex, as it's not overly sweet, and sometimes masculine chemistry turns florals into pure magic!

For me this is the daytime-appropriate version of Jasmin Rouge. While both are extremely heavy on the white flowers - and do an exquisite job of it - this one lets a little more air in, making it a little easier to wear as an everyday perfume. Jasmin Rouge is almost a scent I want to wear alone or in extremely intimate settings, as I want to keep its strength and sultriness all for myself, but Fleur de Portofino is so much more open and shareable. Happily it is equally long-lasting :)

This is me eating crow.... FDP is great. Soft, warm, floral and beachy. My first experience could have very well been an 'off' bottle of this - all i got was bubblegum sweet and zero longevity. I was sent a bottle as a gift - and my goodness it's beautiful! Long lasting, warm and cozy scent. Makes me long for a tropical vacation. Orange blossom and warm salty water is what I get here and it is MAGICAL.

Syringa (The note has a sweet rich floral profile reminiscent of gardenia, honeysuckle, orange blossom) with ambrette. Smelled it hard on the dry down and it gave me something reminiscent of Body Shop Moonflower and clean cotton sheet. I can't stop smelling my wrist to get the whiff of BS Moonflower. Overpriced, yes, but for some nostalgic reason, I'm getting a full bottle of this.

Very strong, sexy Bubu fragrance! Quite flowery and sweet and smells closer to Mandarino di Amalfi to me than any of Tom Ford's other fragrances. It's certainly more feminine than masculine, and I may not buy it for that reason. Otherwise, I love it! 10/5/18: I'm wearing it today at the office and I love it! Lots of white flowers and sweet without being sickly. Awesome projection!

Such a beautiful, classy and fresh scent. Slightly powdery, sweet, floral and clean. To describe it would be drinking a chilled San Pellegrino by the pool in the warm sun in Hawaii, with the breeze making the flowers’ smell float through the air. I think this suits summer days and nights the most.

God, this perfume is good. Like an expensive Italian coastal vacation. Very grown-up, but nothing old-lady about it at all. And not so tropical/aquatic that it screams "beach" - it moreso gives the vibe of a little town with lemon trees, up on a hill overlooking the ocean. It's beautiful.

My favorite from the azure line. There is some floral thickness, not only freshness as in the others of this line. Beautifully captured Portofino idea. A bright, refreshing, but not deodorant style summer perfume. Not overwhelming at all. The only drawback is the price.

OMG LOVE <3 summer scent I have been looking for a long time. It's expensive, but that's completely understood with such a luxurious blend; it radiates far away and attracts compliments from strangers. Uplifting and light, magnificent turquoise cloud.

I don't understand the note breakdown above, as Fleur de Portofino seems to me loaded with jasmine, much like a lighter, somewhat aquatic, neroli summer version of TF Jasmin Rouge (which is one of the most intoxicating jasmine perfumes ever).

I just brought this and it's worth every penny,floral romantic and light refreshing clean smell the perfume is so feminine and wears nicely in the summer, a must buy,if your a fan of floral perfumes as myself ......beautiful ten out of ten

This stuff is beautiful. It reminds of a less sweet and more aquatic Champaca Absolute. I get decent longevity and projection from this, maybe 5-6 hours. Huge fan of the N. Portofino line.

When I first tried this, it immediately reminded me of the floral bomb Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise, except that this fragrance feels less synthetic. I personally loved it.

This is a pretty fragrance by itself but I wanted more honey so I layer this with Soleil Brulant and MY GOSH!!! If you love honey you must try that combo!

My mother was a florist, and I grew up around flowers. I enjoy mostly white flowers in nature, gardinia, and Lily of the valleys. I have some great neroli colognes, but was always on the lookout for a great fresh fragrance, that was more floral dominant, without getting girly. Fleur de Portofino is what I have been looking for. It doesn't get overly heady or indolic. The white florals are realistic and full, yet stay airy. The violet, gives it a dewy, watery vib. The main floral here is the locust blossom, known to have a honey like facet; Reminds me of wild honey suckle flowers. The Tolu balsam resin, is a very warm and nutty, slightly sweet resin. It's very nice to pick it out as a slight facet in the base notes. There are still enough of the great citrus notes, as in Neroli portofino, that keeps it from getting too feminine. It smells very natural and fresh, with lots of beautiful white flowers. It's giving an overall impression of very FRESH white florals. The tangerine is the predominant citrus, but it's light, yet noticable. This is very well blended, in that the honey note balances the citruses, to give the white florals a slightly sweet freshness. You don't pick out the citruses much, they are nuances; giving the florals a very vibrant clean vib. I just received Comme Des Garcons "Lily". It is a great lily of the valley soliflore. This is more rounded white floral. I think I prefer "Lily" to this, when I get a craving for white florals... But Fleur de Portofino is more classy, and for special occasions, church, Easter Sunday; perfect. Update: This has grown on me. Its my signature for hot Summer days. The honeyed wild white flowers with mandarin, so bight and refreshing. Although it becomes soft after a few hours, I could still smell in in the morning 12 hours later. Rating: 9/10 God bless.

I bought this after smelling on paper and not testing on myself (covid restrictions). It smelled lovely, and it was a great deal, so I snapped it up. After testing it on myself, at first I was disappointed. I know it's not in the notes, but I smelled lilies, which I'm not a fan of. However, I decided to give it a while because even with the lilies, I didn't dislike it really. It has a sweetness and freshness underneath that made it pleasant despite the lilies. However, about an hour after spraying, the lily scent leaves, and I'm left with honeysuckle and a bit of sweetness that is still fresh and not cloying. It's quite pleasant, and I'm really glad I bought it and then gave it a chance to dry down. I probably wouldn't repurchase because I prefer the Neroli Portofino Aqua, but this is still quite wonderful in its own right. The review that mentions a florist shop smell (in a good way) is spot on.

I received a new 50ml bottle on trade. WOW, what a lovely scent. I feel like this is a beachy perfume that also smells floral; there's a classy sunscreen type of vibe to it, but i also get realistic jasmine, a fresh citrus zest and a very light honeyed sweetness. Definitely leans feminine, but a well-dressed guy on a beach boardwalk could properly wear this as well. As repeatedly mentioned, performance is fleeting; honestly i noticed it for up to 4 hours, but my wife barely gets an hour out of 2 sprays. This is actually my first Private Blend full bottle, I've always previously had decants, and just to have this bottle alone is fairly exciting. It's a beautiful bottle, looks great on my shelf. Not my favorite Tom Ford by any means but still glad to have it. You can often find this one heavily discounted. Buy it for your Mom or wife, she'll love it if she loves white florals.

A semi-sweet, bright, soft floral scent accompanied by a bit of citrus. I don't have a ton of floral scents, but it's way brighter and less spicy than TF black orchid, and way less powdery and formal than Chanel Boy. A bit of a playful and active daytime scent. It's not mysterious or sexy, just a lively inoffensive flowery smell. I can see the violet, various citrus (more of a juicy citrus than a zest, but both are present), and honey... maybe even a touch of the rose and vanilla. Civet? Not so much. Definitely leans feminine, maybe strongly so. I enjoy wearing it from time to time as a guy, it's just a very comforting, soft, bright scent. I would probably love it on a partner, but mine isn't into the super floral stuff so I enjoy it for myself haha. Solid 7/10.

This for the floral lovers for sure, reminds me a lot of Replica Flower Market. Nice and fresh and a little headachy if you over spray, seams to settle very nice with jasmine scent on the skin and with a lemon blossom. I really like it. I’d say this is a floral that would be great all year round. I always thought Tom Fords fragrances are too much for me, haven’t tried much tho. I love this one. Might be purchasing full size after I run out of Flower market since I have a full bottle of it. Also I don’t see similarity with Mandarino, I got it for my self and it appeared to be too masculine so I gave it to my husband and he didn’t like it 🤣

Easily my favorite from the Neroli Portofino collection and my second favorite floral fragrance behind Clive Christian No.1 I have a massive crush on white florals. Whether I smell it on a woman or wear it myself. But my problem with most of them is that they either smell too soapy or too powdery. But this is just perfect. It doesn't have that shampooiness of the rest of the Neroli Portofino line. It's just a very soft and pleasant scent. There's also just little bit of honey under all those flowers that adds another dimension to it's sweetness and makes it easily unisex. Can't wait to purchase a full bottle once it gets warmer.

I just had an astounding epiphany. This is the sample I had 2 years ago. I got a huge sample decant from sephora, as the sales girl showed me how good it was. Well she didn't label it and I forgot what it was called. For the longest time I thought it was neroli portofino acqua since they smell similar. Lo and behold after wearing this one for a few minutes all kinds of memories come rushing back. It dawns on me that this is a dead ringer for the sample I had! I finally know for sure! Amazing what scent memories can do. So anyways I think this is the female version of neroli portofino

upon spraying its beautiful: creamy jasmine, honey, musk and a blast of citrus. this lasts for like, a minute or so before settling into a nice creamy honey-jasmine with musk in the back. projects decently too. its perfect...except for how it literally melts off in an hour. after an hour 30 there's a faint semblance of musk and honey, soon disappearing except for a light soapy scent you have to smell pretty hard to detect. perfect scent, longevity...not so much. my skin eats white florals quick but this was especially tragic.

I'm not a fan of this, I think because of the magnolia and jasmine combination. It's pleasant, but it just doesn't do anything to me and with that price tag, if I don't LOVE it, then it's not going to happen. I prefer Neroli Portofino to this scent. This is much better on the drydown than on the top notes. Which is a relief. But I am just not a huge fan of florals, and I think Neroli Portofino suits me and my needs better. But this is a lovely and beautiful fragrance. It's just not for me.

I have a soft spot for this fragrance. The scent is fresh, citrusy, delicious. It's summery, but in a ''luxury vacation on the coast of Italy'' way (as expected). I'm not a fan of citrus notes, but this perfume is so fun! If I were a trophy wife, this would be my go-to for a private yacht trip tbh. Although the dry-down is slightly more feminine-leaning, this is a great unisex perfume regardless.

The Tom Ford ad says: "Splash the trash with my stash!" You don't see black locust honey in the pyramid every day. I bought it just for this and I find it to be authentic and sensual. Also, delightfully subtle and ambiguous, despite the sort of Miley Cyrus brand of in your face tworking. Let's face it, this is nose bling and if you don't have the cash you won't get stung by this bee.

After falling in love with Mandarino, I had high hopes for this one. On me, it's a smooth, tuberose-centric floral, even tho tuberose isn't listed in the notes. I love tuberose, so that works for me. What's not so great is that longevity is less than an hour, if that. Mandarino lasts all day and then some. No way would I pay full price for a bottle of this.

Pure Poison + Myers lemons. A very nice sweet floral. I can definitely smell acacia. Lovely. Would I buy it? - No. I would rather go with Pure Poison, which is more balanced to me, more long-lasting, and more „pure” without the sweetness, and even though expensive, cheaper than Tom Ford.

Tom Ford is simply the best in the designer fragrance category. His perfumes always smell sensual and luxurious and this one is no exception. A simple, but strong and elegant floral composition. Lovers of white flowers will not be disappointed. Final note: 9/10

I've sampled a couple times, and it definitely evokes Mediterranean beach vacation feels for me. I love the fresh, sparkly outset and white floral and honeysuckle heart...but sadly the dry out, on me anyway, is soapy-powdery and ruins the mood.

Smelled this in Neimans today; It's a blast of white floral sweetness, I couldn't see a man wearing this. It's very pleasant for a female however, I don't know the projection/longevity to tell if its FBW. Nice to sample though.

Although not enough citrus for my taste, this is a well-crafted, balanced fragrance. The quality of the ingredients is immediately evident, one case where you get what you pay for.

Tried it today. It was lovely but had a familiar air about it and then it hit me - similar to EL Beyond Paradise. Not as sharp as BP, but along the same vein. Lasted for hours!

A discreet, elegant white floral fragrance that leans feminine. It would be nice on every woman. Similarities to Sole di Positano, which is more citric and a tad better. 7/10
