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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 389 Tom Ford Neroli Portofino EDP
389 recreates Neroli Portofino's citrus-and-neroli freshness, though the amber-ambrette base fades faster than Tom Ford's sun-drenched original.
