The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Neroli Portofino Acqua by Tom Ford is a fresh and vibrant scent that captures the essence of coastal Italy. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of bergamot and lemon, which are immediately balanced by the green freshness of petitgrain. As these top notes settle, neroli and orange blossom introduce a delicate floral presence, creating an airy contrast to the initial brightness. The fragrance finishes with a soft base of amberwood and white musk, providing warmth without heaviness.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with light spritzes to avoid overwhelming its delicate balance. The initial brightness fades quickly, so reapply if you want to maintain the freshness throughout the day. It pairs well with casual wear, especially during warmer months.
