Portofino Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper British farce - a brilliant citrus-floral opening swiftly followed by a disappearing act. You'll love the smell, but you'll curse the performance. A divisive affair, some swear by its unique charm, whilst others rate it as nothing more than an expensive air freshener.
A bright citrus-neroli take on Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. Portofino nails the sparkling bergamot-neroli opening well but the base is thinner and less luxurious than the original's rounded musk-amber drydown.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean citrus and white floral profile is non-offensive and ideal for close-quarters like the office, though its poor longevity means constant reapplication. It's perfect for casual wear, especially in hot weather, as it never projects too strongly. It lacks the gravitas for formal events and the bold presence for a date.
Seasons
The citrus-neroli opening and light musk base are built for warm weather; it thins out and loses presence in cold months.
Occasions
Clean and inoffensive enough for the office, versatile enough for casual daytime wear.
