Neroli Portofino

Tom Ford presents Neroli Portofino as a reinvention of the classic eau de cologne, vibrant, effervescent and transportive: citrus oils, surprising floral notes and an amber base that evoke the cool breeze, clear water and lush foliage of the Italian Riviera.

Portofino according to Tom Ford

“Portofino has always been a magical place for me,” says Tom Ford, for whom few cities stir such strong emotions and memories; he says he wanted to capture in Neroli Portofino the sounds, sights and smells of the Ligurian port.

Wikiparfum, which files it among the citrus fragrances, takes up the image of one of the most beautiful ports in the Mediterranean, a fishing village and resort on the Riviera whose way of life was supposedly bottled.

From Private Blend to the Neroli Portofino collection

Neroli Portofino was born in 2007 among the twelve fragrances that opened Tom Ford’s Private Blend collection, and Rodrigo Flores-Roux signed the formula. In 2011, the house relaunched it in a turquoise bottle, with a body line: soap, body scrub, body lotion and dry oil.

In 2014, Mandarino di Amalfi, by Calice Becker, and Costa Azzurra, by Yann Vasnier, joined it to form the Neroli Portofino collection, which the house built on its success. A lighter Acqua version later completed the line.
