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.
This one's a definite love-it-or-hate-it. Some reckon it's a bargain oud, others say it's just a fly spray in disguise. Buy at your own risk - but don't say we didn't warn you about that sprayer.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
The strong, potentially overwhelming opening and divisive nature of the oud accord means it's not ideal for office wear. Its uniqueness and noticeable sillage, despite some claims of moderation, could suit casual or date nights for those who embrace its edginess, but it lacks the refinement for most formal events.
