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.
Blooming Genoa traces Tom Ford Fleur de Portofino's sun-warmed acacia-honey-and-orange-blossom bouquet, framing white florals in bright Mediterranean citrus. The original's airy balance and refined honey are pushed sweeter and flatter here, but it's a pretty, summery budget interpretation.

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
Bright citrus and honeyed white florals are warm-weather naturals, peaking in spring and summer.
