Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Roses EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you crave a brutally realistic, unapologetic rose, you've found your match. But if you prefer your florals dialled down, best run a mile.

Our Verdict - Fleur de Portofino Acqua EDT
A sparkling, fresh floral for sun-drenched days, this Tom Ford is a crowd-pleaser that evokes Mediterranean getaways. Its light touch and refreshing character make it perfect for hot weather, despite performance issues for some.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and impressive longevity, especially for a Jo Malone, make it less suited for an enclosed office. However, its romantic and elegant floral character makes it perfect for dates and eveningwear, while remaining versatile enough for casual settings for rose lovers.

Fleur de Portofino Acqua

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, light, citrus-floral character makes it ideal for casual wear and suitable for an office environment, as it sits close to the skin. The lack of heavy projection and long-lasting nature means it won't be overpowering, making it a good choice for warm weather activities and even some dates, though it lacks the gravitas for formal events.
