Tom Ford Fleur De Portofino

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on syringa, tangerine and bergamot, moves through black locust, jasmine and orange blossom, and settles on black locust honey, ambrette (musk mallow) and civet.

• tangerine: sweet soft citrus, rounder and less sharp than lemon
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
