Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Neroli Portofino Acqua EDP
A truly gorgeous citrus-neroli scent that evokes Mediterranean summers, let down by a performance that has many questioning the hefty Tom Ford price tag. If you want expensive sunshine in a bottle, and don't mind reapplying, this is for you.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Soleil EDP
Compiled from retailer sources: bergamot, lemon and mandarin open into an orange-blossom-jasmine-neroli heart, resting on white musk, amber and cedarwood - a sunny, bright citrus-floral unisex composition true to its French name ('sun').
