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 - Portofino EDP
The Fragrance World UK's 4.95 pounds/5ml take on Tom Ford Neroli Portofino (2011) - the citrus-neroli-orange blossom skeleton is present, though the original's rich, amber-warmed Mediterranean signature is thinned out at the budget tier.
