Néroli Portofino Acqua

It is to this country that fascinates him that Tom Ford chose to dedicate a fragrance in 2007. He chose to name it Neroli Portofino, making this essence an invitation to travel to the heart of the Italian Riviera. Nevertheless, the story does not end there, and Tom Ford returns, in this year 2016, with a new version of his fragrance named Neroli Portofino Acqua.

Tom Ford's Italian inspiration

Portofino is a resort destination known throughout the world. An emblem of Italy, it fascinates travelers with its breathtaking beauty combined with its glamorous atmosphere. It is a place characteristic of the jet set, perfectly symbolizing the image one has of the legendary Italian Riviera. It is at the heart of this place that Neroli Portofino Acqua once again immerses us. As Tom Ford explains, Neroli Portofino Acqua comes from the Private Blend collection, which he describes as a laboratory of fragrances. This is the place where I can create fragrances that are original, unique, and freed from the usual conventions of perfumery, he says. Private Blend was created with true fragrance enthusiasts in mind. Thus, these are refined products highlighting the image of men and women who know how to enjoy life. Neroli Portofino Acqua is a juice synonymous with carefree ease and cheerfulness. Its bottle carries the turquoise colors of the Mediterranean, and its scent is a concentrate of morning freshness gently warmed by the first rays of Italian sunlight.

The striking scent of Neroli Portofino Acqua

Neroli Portofino Acqua is an essence that is both striking, frosty, and irresistible. Its scent alone is enough to transport us to the heart of an idyllic setting. Neroli Portofino Acqua immediately evokes the azure waters of the Mediterranean paired with an endless bright blue sky. It also has a green quality evocative of the lush hills of this region stretching as far as the eye can see. Its frosty scent, meanwhile, is evocative of the cool breeze of early morning. The composition of Neroli Portofino Acqua opens with a blend of citrus. Bergamot, lemon and petitgrain can be noted here. Thus, Neroli Portofino Acqua can boast a particularly energizing effect. Then, in its heart, neroli, the essential oil obtained by distilling orange blossom, literally explodes. Orange blossom is also present here, and these two ingredients make this essence a particularly radiant and luminous juice. Its lightness then carries through into its sillage. The latter is enhanced with white musks. Nevertheless, the whole is wrapped in amber woods that lend more structure and character to this fragrance.
