Tom Ford's fragrant journey
Tom Ford is a highly creative figure who likes each of his fragrances to tell a story. He always strives to create essences that are original, unique and far removed from the usual conventions of perfumery. Tom Ford also says that each of his fragrances is created with true fragrance enthusiasts in mind. With Néroli Portofino Acqua, Tom Ford takes us into a sun-drenched, typically Mediterranean world. The story is close to that of his own wonder-struck gaze when he first discovered the splendor of Italy. As the name of this essence suggests, it is more precisely about Portofino. This resort destination is known throughout the world for its breathtaking beauty and its extraordinary charm. The atmosphere there is fresh and sparkling. Glamour is everywhere, and the jet set greatly contributes to making this place a dream destination. Néroli Portofino Acqua reflects the image of the men and women who visit this place. It encourages enjoying every moment of life and letting one's cheerfulness and carefree spirit speak. Following on from Néroli Portofino, this Acqua version aims to be fresher than ever, as if it had decided to plunge into the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
The freshness of crystalline waters at the heart of the fragrance Néroli Portofino Acqua
Néroli Portofino Acqua is a fragrance similar to a postcard. It seems to have captured the azure waters of the Mediterranean beneath an endless sky. The ever-present blue then contrasts with the green of the hills on the horizon. The setting is paradisiacal and evokes a longing to recharge. What is more, what better moment to find peace than at sunrise? Néroli Portofino Acqua carries us into the blue waves the very instant the cool morning breeze caresses skin warmed by the first rays of sunlight. This translates into a blend of citrus notes. Mediterranean citrus fruits elevate the composition of Néroli Portofino Acqua. This fragrance notably contains lemon, mandarin and bergamot. Orange blossom, for its part, lends a typically Mediterranean air here. Its luminosity is further enhanced by the presence of neroli, an essential ingredient of this composition. Lavender and rosemary, meanwhile, reinforce the aromatic feel of this fragrance. Finally, Néroli Portofino Acqua sees its warmth intensify in the base thanks to the more syrupy presence of amber.
