I’ve tried quite a few Neroli Portofino-inspired fragrances over the years, and they all seem to have the same problem as the original: they smell fantastic, but unfortunately they just don’t last very long.
Perfume Parlour is the first company I’ve found that has genuinely managed to improve on that. The scent is absolutely fantastic and, while it still won’t last all day – which I honestly wouldn’t expect from this type of fresh fragrance – it lasts at least twice as long on me as the original Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
I’ve bought both the Eau de Parfum and the Extrait de Parfum versions, and I’m extremely happy with both. I even ended up ordering the car fragrances because I liked the scent so much!
The whole experience was excellent as well – from placing the order to shipping and delivery to Germany, everything worked perfectly.
And now, as a German, I have to add one little thing after ten years of Brexit: Sorry, Brits, but I still think you were completely mad to do it! 😂 It meant I had to pay a little extra in customs charges – but in this case, every single cent was worth it.
For me, this is one of those rare occasions where I can genuinely say: I prefer it to the original.
Fantastic fragrance, great performance, excellent service – and absolutely recommended. Perfume Parlour have done an incredible job with this one.
