Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Forte is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Yann Vasnier. Neroli Portofino Forte opens with Bergamot, Blood Orange, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Lavender, Galbanum, and Basil, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Leather. Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino Forte carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino Forte is divisive but adored by its fans. It's pitched as the 'better' or 'stronger' sibling of the original, but some don't see the fuss, pointing to its linear nature and hefty price tag. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little in between.

Its fresh, clean, and uplifting character makes it versatile for most casual and daytime settings, including sport. While some find it too potent for the office, its moderate projection keeps it from being overwhelming when applied sparingly. The underlying leather gives it a touch of sophistication that could work for a date, but its strong citrus leans away from formal events.

About

Imagine strolling through an Italian citrus grove, the air thick with sharp bergamot and blood orange. A herbaceous whiff of basil and lavender cuts through, brightened by sweet orange blossom and rich neroli. As the scent settles, a soft, supple leather emerges, grounding the vibrancy with warm musk and woody undertones, creating a clean yet deep aroma.
