Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Neroli Portofino EDP
Neroli Portofino is a classic summer fragrance that divides opinion. Some appreciate its Mediterranean freshness, others balk at the high price relative to its fleeting performance. It's an aromatic ode to a seaside holiday with invigorating citrus notes, yet struggles to justify its cost for many due to weak longevity.

Our Verdict - Portofino EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino (2013) - neroli, rosemary and amber translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
