A very expensive Nenuco… no more.
I bought it blindly looking for something fresh; being Tom Ford, I assumed its good reputation. It is not bad, but for the price I would have expected a more original scent. However, as a collector I do not regret it given its quality and ultimately it smells like a fine cologne.
It has no lasting power. It is a pity, but one must reapply every 15 minutes; I leave the house and the perfume is already gone. It should last longer. The fragrance is very rich but has no sillage.
A very clean and fresh floral-citrus aroma, where the citrus, neroli, and orange blossom stand out. Very, very similar to the Nenuco children’s fragrance.
Smells like a typical cologne, nothing surprising.
On first try, upon the top note I thought: ‘this smells identical to 4711’, what a disappointment. Nevertheless, as it dries down you begin to see the differences and it becomes slightly more floral, whereas the 4711 evaporates and disappears by 3 hours. It is not a fragrance I would use; despite being labelled unisex, it feels too feminine to me; I would prefer to smell it on a woman’s skin rather than my own. Would I recommend it for a woman? Only if her budget is not very tight: simply buy 4711 and reapply more often. If cost is not an issue, go ahead, you have a version with superior dry-down, more feminine, and better longevity.
From my experience, it is a pleasant, fresh, and high-quality fragrance. Upon spraying, although it fades on the skin, I notice it noticeably in my surroundings. It is true that for the price I expected more, but it is truly excellent. Regarding the similarity to 4711, I do not consider it so; in fact, I cannot stand the original smell of 4711, plus it rarely lasts half an hour.
Out of all the reviews, Drakecito’s comes closest to my own opinion. It is absolutely not a 4711; the Tom Ford has infinitely superior ingredient quality and composition. Yes, you can find the olfactive profile in cheaper perfumes such as Jeanne In Provence’s Neroli Intense (niche at €10), but it does not match the refinement of this one. Longevity is ephemeral, even more so given its price: 3 to 4 hours is normal for citrus. If money is no object, it is a delight for oneself and others, highly recommended for spring and summer mornings, the office, or signing documents. It lacks the character of Prada L’Homme but is equally enchanting. Considering the price, there are more economical options like the one mentioned. It is one of my favourite scents, very wearable, energising, bringing peace and energy in equal measure. Absolute unisex. If you are looking for something more masculine, Bvlgari Wood Neroli might be worth considering. Scent 9/10, price 3/10, performance 4/10.
I tried it for the first time and went straight to buy a huge bottle of baby bath water, which strangely smells exactly the same 🫢🫢🫢.
I loved it: fresh, elegant, and classically refined. It’s not groundbreaking, yet it is genuinely pleasant. Perhaps it is a costly luxury, but it is certainly not a bad fragrance. Ideal for hot climates, perfect for enjoying the sun and cooling down. Suitable for morning and afternoon, for the day or even in the office with that sense of cleanliness. There are cheaper options, but this is Tom Ford; I do not believe there is a cheap Ferrari, it depends on one’s priorities. It was a gift I appreciate and enjoy, although frankly, I would not buy another for myself. Scent: 8.0. Projection: moderate for 2 hours. Longevity: 6 hours. Given the price, lack of originality, and limited quantity, I do not recommend it.
I’m baffled by some of the comments, almost as much as the ‘reminds me of’ comparisons; it seems people haven’t smelled the scent and are just talking about the name. Scala to Portofino is a lemon tree citrus, a good citrus, but I have as much neroli as a priest. Anyone expecting pure neroli from Dior will be disappointed. Linking Neroli Portofino to a baby perfume with cocoa is absurd. It’s a magnificent summer cologne, but there are cheaper options that offer the same or nearly so. That’s its only drawback. Neroli Intense by Jeanne in Provence for €12, Ferrari Bright Neroli for €30, or Porto Neroli by Maison Alhambra for less are almost identical. Neroli lovers appreciate its quality. Instead of spending on an oud fragrance that repels everyone, we should opt for clean, pleasant perfumes like this Tom Ford, Chopard Neroli Cardamom from Guatemala or Scilly Neroli by Atkinsons. We don’t even accept Kobe by Xerjoff or those by Lunio or Clive Christian as household pets because they don’t smell like neroli, or at least not a pleasant neroli.
I couldn’t get on with it. The citrus notes I expected were overwhelmed by an excess of neroli. I ended up giving it away. You can tell it’s high quality, but it’s like mixing soap with eau de cologne, and the longevity is poor.
It’s a genuine armed robbery: $230 for a ‘refined’ version of the Sanborns orange cologne feels like a brazen scam. It lasts half an hour and leaves almost no trail. A soulless, personality-free infamy. The only Tom Ford scents I can salvage are Beau de Jour, Grey Vetiver and Ombre Leather; all three are very different from this but offer better price and performance.
I bought the Porto Neroli dupe five times instead, and it came out much cheaper
It smells like my baby’s cologne.
It smells nice, like a high-quality Nenuco, but that’s where it stops. You decide if paying that price is worth it
To anyone who says it smells like a Nenuco baby cologne, I give them all my support; no amount of romantic theories can justify this huge rip-off.
Honestly, it smells like a citrus room freshener. I don’t understand how Tom Ford justifies this with that price tag; I’d far prefer L’eau d’Issey Pour Homme
Imagine midday in Menorca, heading to the sea in cinnamon bermudas and a white shirt; you spritz Neroli Portofino and look elegant without overdoing it. But be warned, this is only for that occasion. I don’t think it’s worth the money, especially here in the Mediterranean where such scents are as common as nosebleeds
Smells like that blue Rey soap in Colombia
Smells nice but it’s ridiculously expensive and there are equal or better options for much less
Horrible, smells like a cemetery flower…!!!
Its scent is so subtle that it goes unnoticed by many but is ideal for a few: it smells like the clean hair of the pretty girl at the salon while she brushes it before seeing her beau during the break. Smells like glycerine soap with green tea and rosemary hair cream with orange blossom. Unisex. I use it at any age, even on babies.
Total disappointment. After a month of using the famous Neroli Portofino, it’s not that I wouldn’t buy it, it’s that I detest it. I have a 33ml tester that’s going to last forever. Clarification: IT DOESN’T SMELL OF CITRUS. IT DOESN’T SMELL LIKE 4.711. The 4.711 smells like fresh water, like a freshly showered boy. Neroli Portofino smells like an older man after shaving. Personally, it disgusts me. It has a soapy smell with a musky base that vaguely reminds me of insect repellent. I would never buy it; the price makes me laugh. When someone talks about the ‘quality of their ingredients’, what quality are they referring to? Perhaps it’s ignorance, but I suspect that 75% of the price is the brand, as there are many good perfumes with natural ingredients, nothing synthetic, much cheaper. Besides, a perfume called ‘Neroli Portofino’ doesn’t seem to use rare or hard-to-find ingredients.
Concentrated 4711 with higher-quality ingredients. It’s fantastic; the initial citrus fades quickly, leaving a duality between aromatic and floral notes chasing each other in a spiral of much better longevity than the 4711, though still insufficient for the cost of this Tom Ford version. Faintest musk at the base. Longevity of 3-4 hours, limited projection. It’s a cologne, very pleasant and very expensive; you need to replenish it often. Over the years, I value aromatic perfumes more, with a certain vintage feel, fresh barbershop, dressing room and cleanliness, created with many notes and blended with skill.
It’s not worth the price for a slightly longer-lasting 4711. I expected something more original.
Smells like Sanborns cologne water, for all Mexicans, that’s exactly what it smells like.
If you’re from Colombia, this smell will remind you of your grandmother who used Menticol. In fact, I tried it and someone told me: ‘it’s not perfume, it’s Menticol’. Thank goodness I only bought a decant.
Smells like Trix.
Neroli Portofino is one of my favourite scents: citrus, jasmine and orange blossom create an incredibly spring-like and summery fragrance, full of cheerful and magical vibes. The issue is the price-to-quality ratio, which I find terrible. Everyone decides for themselves if it’s worth it; in my case, I went for Porto Neroli by Maison Alhambra, which is perfectly executed and has nothing to envy. I recommend the scent, but everyone should evaluate whether to buy it or not.
Fresh, citrusy, orange blossom; good opening, the problem is that it doesn’t evolve beyond those initial notes. It’s like a cologne for sleeping on a hot night, but given the price, I’d prefer to use 4711 for this purpose.
I’d say it’s the most citrusy perfume I’ve tried, it smells practically only of that. It’s not a scent that fascinates me and one I wouldn’t pay for; it reminds me of a floor cleaner. That said, if you like the smell of lemon you can’t dislike it. A hardcore summer perfume and one I wouldn’t use at night for any reason.
I’ll just say that for the price it lasts four hours and projects nothing or leaves no trail; you could buy a collection of Arab fragrances or four or five designer perfumes; here you just pay for the brand. If you want to spend a lot on something citrusy and fresh, go for Nio by Xerjoff.
It’s like Colonia Agú + Orange Flower Water; you buy it to cure yourself of fright (if you’re from Peru) but it’s of high quality, which makes the aroma comforting. Unfortunately, I associate those scents with pharmacy products. My favourite commercial neroli is Nerolia Vetiver Forte and the note is worked differently. Curiously, it lasted over 7 hours with good projection.
I tried it in a shop in my country (Mexico) and it’s ridiculous that for that price ($8,500 MXN for 50ml) it smells like a motel floor cleaner for the birds and the bees. It smells brutally similar (99% sure), and because of that memory I would never wear it. What a shame, go to a freshly washed motel room to check it out.
I found it very simple for the price it commands, plus it reminds me hugely of the ‘Nenuco’ baby cologne, which makes me think it’s overhyped and its price is way above its scent value.
It smells exactly as its name suggests: neroli or orange blossom. I have trees and when I pick the flowers, it smells the same, clean but nothing more, I wouldn’t wear it.
It’s a well-handled citrus opening with rosemary giving it body for the first hour; then, as it dries down, the jasmine and orange blossom stand out. Fresh, medium longevity, neutral for everyone.
If you live in Colombia, they sell something called Menticol… this is Menticol but without the refreshing sensation.
I thought this would be a bomb, but upon testing it turned out to be a total fiasco. I’ve sniffed it in several shops and the conclusion is that it smells like a baby nappy.
