Dh on the cusp of buying me Tom Fords neroli portofino...would I regret it?

[Dowser]

I love it but then I love Hermes orange verte as well.

This is 30 ml for €84

I've seen some comments that a qua Parma di gio 1916 gives more bang for your buck and also one of Jo Malone

One of the complaints is that it doesn't last long . I tend to agree. I sprayed it an hour ago and it's nearly gone.

Black orchid still going strong

I love an orange scented perfume but I don't want dh to waste money on a perfume whose small dissipates as soon as it's out the bottle

Neroli Portofino is the longest lasting citrus cologne that I own. Not in the same league with fleeting Jo Malones.

The Hermes and Acqua di Parmas are really stylish choices as well.

I could be the only one who hates Tom Ford perfumes. On my skin, it lasts 20 minutes tops. There is some fan following here though. If it doesn't last on your skin, don't invest in it.

It's lovely but it's literally just neroli. There is a really nice, cheap French perfume brand called Solinotes (sold at French Sephora and Monoprix) which do an Orange Blossom perfume that, to me, is indistinguishable from TF Neroli Portofino and costs €10.

It disappears immediately on me too. If you like citrus fragrance Heeley St Clements is lovely and lasts.

Omg....an hour and a half later and it's gone!

I read in one of the Beauty Bible books that 4711 cologne is very much like TFNP, and it's about 5 or 6 pounds in Boots.

I love Tom Ford cafe rose but won't buy a bottle as it's gone so quickly.

I do like other TF so they seem to be pretty hot and miss re longevity.

Sounds like it's a no then. Shame

I really don't get the love for neroli portofino. It smells like Isley Miyake to me. Generic 90's 'fresh'.

I love some of the heavier TFs though - Tuscan leather, tobacco vanille & cafe rose. I find they last well on me.

Perfume Parlour possibly do a dupe? They do a few TFs I think.
