Neva

Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino is loved for a bright, realistic Mediterranean-morning opening of bergamot, lemon and mandarin around a true neroli heart, softened by orange blossom and jasmine into a sheer amber-musk base. It is famously linear and, more famously still, criticised for performance that can fade in as little as two to three hours. Neva, inspired by it, leans hard into the citrus side of that equation - the bergamot, lemon and mandarin actually read brighter and more assertive than the pricier original, giving it a fun, zesty punch on first application. The trade-off is exactly where you'd expect: an already short-lived fragrance gets shorter still in this budget form, with the neroli-jasmine heart and musky base fading to almost nothing well inside two hours. Best treated as a citrus splash to reapply through the day rather than a lasting signature scent.
