Tom Ford Neroli Portofino

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

It opens on bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon, moves through african orange flower, neroli and jasmine, and settles on amber, angelica and ambrette (musk mallow).

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

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.
