Neroli Portofino Parfum

A very, very soapy neroli mixed with a bunch of zesty citruses, a bit of jasmine and some clary sage. That’s how I would summarise in a few words Neroli Portofino Parfum. For neroli fans, this would be a great addition to their collection, if we could forget about the price... As much as I would love this scent, cause I do adore this scent profile, I will stick to my 2 ml sample, because the price tag is just outrageous. Considering that the performance is very average and this version is called Parfum, I just don’t think I need in my collection. There’s several other neroli/citrus dominant perfumes that I own or available on the market for a significantly lower cost for me to encourage anyone to splurge on Neroli Portofino Parfum... If money is no object, you should go for it! Otherwise, it nothing groundbreaking.. Get a bottle of Colonia Nobile by Giardini di Toscana, Memo’s Jannat or Prada’s Infusion de Fleur d’Oranger (to name a few comparable scents from my collection) if you want something similar. All these are way cheaper and last longer. None of these above mentioned fragrances are a dupe 1:1 to Neroli Portofino, but any and many more will do the job in the same way and for the same occasions. Save on this and splurge on something more unique smelling!

This is overpriced yes, but man is it incredible. This encapsulates that almafi coast vibe better than any fragrance I've tried. It smells like the best, most luxurious sunscreen you've ever smelled. Not in the way City of Stars or French Riviera smell like sunscreen. It's not powerdy or musky, the citrus stays much longer, the sunscreen feel comes from the neroli. My problem with city of stars was that the citrus's fade so fast and I didn't like the dry down near as much as the opening. Neroli Portofino Parfum however, has much longer lasting citruses and a dry down that I really enjoy. I ended up selling my city of stars to pay for this, cause I can't justify owning 2 "sunscreen" type of fragrances. I got a 15% off code through Macy's, so it came out to $400 after tax. Still crazy, but a fresh fragrance that smells like the coast of italy, performs well, and my girlfriend absolutely loves, is worth it to me. As time goes by discounters should have this for around $300. The parfum fixes all the problems the original had with performance. This stays on my skin for around 8 hours or so. It's not a monster projector but it's not a skin scent either. If this was $200, it would be a 10/10, but I gotta give it a 9/10 just cause of the price.

We can talk about the cost or the details of the reformulation (repositioning) of this one. Concerning the cost: The price is outrageous. It has gotten out of hand lately (with all fragrance brands). Almost $500 for a 50ml is ridiculous. Full stop. Concerning the fragrance: It is very well done. Neroli Portofino Forte was a longtime favorite of mine. The new formulation I like better, as it is dryer. The musk is equal to the neroli imo and the neroli has been softened - if not reigned in. The lemon note replaces or drowns out the floral aspect of the neroli considerably. Overall, I would say that this edition is a more austere and elegant reincarnation to the old “Forte”. I’ll let the rest of the community comment more eruditely about the notes as i am still very much a novice. Lastly, I will point out that none of these new TF formulations are actually “parfums”. Needless to say, I would definitely want a big ol’ decanter of this. It is quite nice.

Wow, wow, wow... love at first smell. Yes, it’s very expensive and the performance is not great, but it absolutely smells incredible. There are many similar neroli scents but I just love the way TF does neroli overall. With the Parfum version it’s a bit darker, but very similar to the EDP. It’s also perfectly unisex unlike many other neroli fragrances which tend to lean feminine. Since it’s a summer fragrance you know it won’t last because made with a lot of citrus. The quality of ingredients is top notch for sure, but I agree this should be in the signature line. Hard to pay $$$ for summer fragrances.

They solved all of the problems with Neroli Portofino which lasts 3 hours, now the Parfum version lasts 4 hours. All jokes aside, beautiful scent profile for any sunny day, the price is steep but it lasted 7 hours on my skin. It starts pretty citrusy and fresh, and bit by bit the floral side starts emerging. Tom Ford perfumes have been pretty hit or miss lately, but this is lovely.

I’m not really a summer-fragrance guy and don’t have much experience with them, but this one is perfect for me. The opening kind of reminds me of CK One (though I think that’s just a characteristic of summer and citrusy fragrances). This is a 9/10 for me. I might as well try Chanel Allure Homme Sport next.

This is just a relaunch of Neroli Portofino Forte, a fragrance that came out in 2016 and is generally considered to be the best fresh fragrance Tom Ford ever made. I suggest people obtain a basic knowledge of Tom Ford lineups and Private Blend flankers before spamming blind hate comnents on the internet.

Freshies aren't usually that great on my skin which I am surprised to hear people mentioning performance issues, NP parfum is still Detectable 5 hours and it's still going!! Gorgeous scent this!! Such an improvement on the og, this is great!!

Definitely a smoother, fuller and more intense neroli. 8-10 hours at least on skin. I really don’t understand any comment that says it’s short lived. Performance is great. It’s exactly what I was hoping for.

Neroli Portofino Parfum Tom Ford one of the best perfume its amazing a 10/10 for me just wish it last longer but the smell is veryyyy good but u can get the dupe by Porto Neroli Maison Alhambra its 95% same

It's almost identical to EDP. It has a slightly rounder profile thanks to the addition of a touch of jasmine and orange. If you like neroli, you should definitely give this a try. The longevity is average.

My dad’s signature scent was 4711. When I tried this on at Globus, I was transported back to 1984. Love this. No comment on the price. Will have to save up for it.

This perfume is amazing. it truly transports me to the perfect luxurious summer full of beautiful sites and warmth. the citrus mixes perfectly with the neroli.

This is def an improvement on an already masterful blend. A luxury summer staple for lux vacations “I found my love in portofino” 🎶

So good would never buy it way to expensive and no longevity but a 5ml sample of this will always be in my collection

Fresh summer lemon-neroli scent. Opening: The fragrance bursts open with a sparkling blend of bergamot, lemon, and bitter orange, immediately uplifting and effervescent. The neroli—true to its name—is front and center, fresh and slightly green, giving the scent a clean, almost soapy elegance. While not a powerhouse in longevity or projection,—perfect for warm weather, resort wear, or moments when you want to feel effortlessly polished. Overall Impression: This is not a bold statement fragrance, but rather a refined, refreshing companion. It’s unisex more male inclination sophisticated, and timeless—ideal for those who appreciate understated elegance and the nostalgic charm of coastal summers. With Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli you would have a more economical choice. Performance: 4+ hours Sillage: arms length For whom: Masculine >30 My background: I only write reviews about scents I have worn already (until the bottle is finished) or are in current use. I'm a Gentlemen - middle aged - predominantly in an executive office environment wearing suits and representing with many official gatherings

Lets smoothen out the neroli, make it less synthetic and ofcourse lets hse a drop of lemon oil for a intenser and denser opening.. well its the dream for neroli portofino lovers not gonna lie! I just have some doubts.. for the quality and performance there are many nerolis for a better price. The only reason to buy this is being a TF fan.. for the smell you can def buy the original 250ml on the grey market for 350€. Which is at the same price for the 50ml here.

Honestly I was hoping to not like this based on the price, but of all the lemon scents I've tried this might be the best. Despite the high price point I would consider purchasing if it weren't for the poor performance, though I find that to be a standard issue with lemon-based fragrances. I may have to look for a good dupe for this, because I personally can't justify a $200-$300 purchase for a fragrance that will only last a few hours at most.

Very Citrusy and floral, quite an attractive scent. Projects and performs well for me, which is contrary to what others seem to be experiencing. Price is a little high on TF and I think there are better summer options out there. If it were more in the common designer price point I'd feel better recommending. Not sure if when it runs out I'd buy again, but its not an every day or every occasion use so it should last you a while.

This has a huge dose of neroli and citrus oils..to the point where it made me wanna sneeze when I first smelled it. The scent profile is not unique by any means but here it’s composed beautifully with a lot of naturals and really condensed,it is strong but gentle at the same time,more floral than it is citrusy..super expensive though,to the point I don’t think it’s worth the price but it’s not worth the hate either.
