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 EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Red Roses

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

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

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its fresh, white floral character makes it perfect for casual daytime wear and romantic dates, evoking a 'luxury vacation' feel. However, its significant sillage for some wearers, alongside criticisms of poor longevity for others, makes it less ideal for office settings where subtlety is preferred.
