Tom Ford Private Blend Neroli Portofino, Sample
Regarded by many as the ultimate Eau de Cologne style scent, Tom Ford Private Blend Neroli Portofino captures an invigorating essence with its vibrant mix of citruses, floral notes, and herbs. The fragrance opens with a sparkling burst of bergamot and mandarin orange, their bright and zesty qualities immediately uplifting the senses. Bitter orange adds a touch of complexity, while the aromatic blend of lavender, rosemary, and myrtle lends an herbaceous warmth that balances the initial citrus wave.
As the scent evolves, the heart reveals a lush floral tapestry dominated by the rich, honeyed aroma of African orange flower and neroli. Jasmine introduces a soft, creamy undertone, while pitosporum contributes a subtle, sweet accent that enhances the floral bouquet. This harmonious heart is a fitting tribute to the beautiful Italian port of Portofino, capturing its sun-drenched, coastal allure.
The fragrance dries down to a base of amber, angelica, and ambrette, which together create a smooth and comforting finish. Amber imparts a soft, resinous warmth, while angelica adds a green, slightly musky nuance. Ambrette, with its musky and slightly sweet character, rounds off the composition, leaving a lingering impression that is both sophisticated and inviting. A unisex scent, Neroli Portofino is a must-try for all niche fragrance lovers.
