Tom Ford Private Blend Fleur de Portofino, Sample
Tom Ford's Fleur de Portofino, the fourth fragrance in the Neroli Portofino collection, draws its inspiration from the delicate beauty of white acacia trees in the Mediterranean. The scent opens with a bright and invigorating blend of syringa, tangerine, and Sicilian lemon, their zesty and crisp nature immediately uplifting the senses. The orange and violet leaves add a green, slightly sweet undertone, enhancing the fresh opening with subtle depth.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals a floral bouquet that envelops the senses. Jasmine and orange blossom bring a soft, creamy sweetness, contrasted by the verdant and slightly honeyed aroma of black locust. The rich magnolia and osmanthus add a velvety texture, while Moroccan rose imparts a touch of opulence and warmth, creating a harmonious interplay of floral notes that evoke the lush and vibrant gardens of southern Europe.
In the dry-down, the base of black locust honey and vanilla provides a warm, gourmand facet, enveloping the wearer in a comforting embrace. The gentle muskiness of ambrette and the animalic touch of civet add complexity, while tolu balsam and labdanum contribute a resinous depth, grounding the fragrance with an earthy richness. Fleur de Portofino is a unisex fragrance that revitalises and inspires, capturing the essence of Mediterranean charm and natural beauty.
