Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Fleur de Portofino is a polarising Mediterranean dream: some find it a gorgeous, uplifting floral with impressive longevity, while others dismiss it as an overpriced, generic scrubber with awful performance. Definitely one to try before you buy.
Compiled from the house's own product notes: a clear nod to Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin - bergamot and petitgrain open into a lime blossom-lily-tarragon-jasmine-rose heart, resting on beeswax.
