Hard Candy and High Voltage are fantastic! I'm proud to own them, and your unicorns hooked me up! Hands down, you're my favorite fragrance creator. Top tier. Unicorns for life

A beautifully detailed explanation... i love it, someone with a true passion, instant fan! I can pick out a Tom Ford fragrance as a gift. It will be Neroli Portofino. Thanks for the awesome review Aaron👌

Great review. Aaron knows his stuff. Great knowledge.

Thanks Aaron! I always look forward to your reviews. You animate the perfumer science and your descriptions communicate the scent to the point I can smell the product without actually smelling it! You’re an amazing communicator. Keep it up!!

Very informative Aaron. Thanks very much

Just got a decant on order for this, after your review :) Thanks buddy

The way you describe and explain is somehow alike to asmr, very soothing and relaxing voice

I was just looking at the fragrance today 🤔 GREAT REVIEW 🦄

I am in awe of how eloquently you described this fragrance

awesome review. I am from USA and I just bought your sampler set Aaron from your website and it should be arriving next week :-) I am really looking forward to trying all of your fragrances :-)

I was so happy when you mentioned that it smells very similar to Mandarino di Amalfi, because that's what I thought when I smelled it for the first time. I was surprised about longetivity tho. Neroli Portofino has neither Longetivity nor Projection on me. 1-2 hours was maximum I could get. Doesn't work well with my skin chemistry, I guess. Mandarino di amalfi lasts on me Longer so that quite surprised me. Great review! Thank you!

This is one of my favourite fragrances by TF, but like Aaron, my skin also eats up weaker fragrances. This one doesn’t last on me at all but the smell is top class. Amalfi radiates off of my skin while this one sits very close to my skin. As always, amazing review! 💯

Thanks for educating us again Aaron! I'm quite surprised that you mentioned this is long lasting. It never lasted more than 2-3hrs on me. Same with the Mandarino di Amalfi

Very Nice Aaron!

I’d like to nominate Invasion Barbare by MDCI for review. I’m currently burning through my sample with a full bottle on the way. I am absolutely smitten with it. Soft, complex, masculine, modern - Just gorgeous. I’m smelling myself constantly like a raving narcissist. I love your reviews so I would love to hear your breakdown.

I discovered you from seeing your appearances on Frag-Mental, and I'm delighted to find that you have your own channel. You, good sir, are bloody brilliant, and clearly a MASTER of your craft. Thank you for making these wonderful videos.

Hi Aaron! I think you would really like the Neroli Portofino Forte one. It’s my favourite of his more summery fragrances x

Thank you very much for the material information. It's soo good to know what you spray on youre body. I like Neroli Portofino a lot. Great summerscent. Is it possible you do a special about perfume ingredients and more background information about the manufacturing of fragrances. And allergies and toxics and other IFRA related information. Greetings!

Good review there Aaron, it’s interesting to know from your perspective that you get good longevity. I sampled this in 2014 and yes it is an awesome scent for the summer, but I didn’t get the longevity. Maybe it’s improved and I’ll give another try. There is also Neroli Portofino Forte

You are the fragrance chemist❤️.Excellent video and I love when you break down the compounds…

Love how you hoghlight the substances and chemicals! Really really interessting! Great review and you got me very into getting a sample of this TF!

I love this fragrance and the Mandarino DI Amalfi he mentions. I alternate them. They are both equal as far as amazing fragrance goes in my book but I do find that they have a low projection after about 45 minutes. But its perfect to hot summer days and when you are around a lot of people.

I absolutely love this TF....

Neroli Portofino triggers old, old scent memories for me. It smells like a powdered "orange blossom" laundry detergent my mom used to buy when I was a kid. Great stuff.

Thank you Aaron and video crew. Today I really enjoyed the molecule spellings top right of video. I have a clone of this, "AH Neroli canvas" and the correct spellings helped me understand the Ambrettolide in the base? and I hadn't been able to find Ethylene brassylate because I was spelling it wrong :) I also may get some hedione to give this some lift since my clone lays so heavy. I am seeing 2 hediones? Differences? hedione and hedione FC?

I also love Hedione in high dosage. It has that happy floral sunny ozonic ethereal effect that gives me a great feeling.

Thanks Aaron.

I've just got narciso Rodriguez bleu noir edp for him, you have to use it in abundance BUT when you do it delivers the desired effect beautifully, for the price its quite lovely, layer it with a couple of sprays of ormonde man by ormonde jayne and BANG literally beautiful. Awesome summer scent.xx

not sure if i was watching a fragrance review or an online uni lecture in chemistry... anyway great video aaron haha

Hi Aaron. A quick question do you know of a site where you check to see if the fragrance that you've purchased is safe? I have a vast collection and have a few middle Eastern fragrances which I would like to know if they are safe as you have mentioned in previous videos about how certain ingredients are banned in the UK, but not in other parts of the world . By the way I love your content , brilliant stuff x

I’d love to hear your take on Nishane Ege. I’m looking for an aquatic for summer/warm weather wear. Hopefully something a little unique. Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!!

Would love to hear what you think of AMOUAGE Reflection 45 Man.

Nice review aaron, i am a guy and really love this perfume. It is so classy, definitely unisex but leans little bit feminine. Idk why so many people said its only last around 1 hour in fragrantic*a. I hope they didnt get any fakes because there are so many fake tom fords in the market. And maybe for additional info for readers, we must compare a perfume with same atomizer, i mean my aventus atomizer is 3x much more spray than neroli portofino. So my point is maybe because tom ford’s spray is not as loud as any other brands, then it will affect the volume of the perfume that sprayed out. This is truly HEAVEN in a bottle.. I hope you guys like it 😀🙏🏻

I too like the spanish Lavender the best. But I also like to work with Linalyl Acetate, which I made a nice perfume reminiscent of the morning air.

Thank you so much Aaron. Most of the people reviewed this fragrance also said that. It does not last long. That's why I was a bit in question with myself if I should buy it or not. But great reviews. Thank you again .

this is amazing

My signature scent for summer.

If you want to have a fragrance to wear outside of work, that's light but beautiful and feels almost therapeutic, you MUST try Tom Ford's Fleur de Portofino (not the Acqua, as it doesn't have as good of musks).

I love this one even though it doesn’t last long on my skin. I would continue to buy regardless

Brother would like to have your thoughts on TF Costa Azzurra... It's a interesting & unique freshy...

Aaron please, try any of Perris Montecarlo. Cedro di diamante, lavander romaine.... I'm interesed on know your opinion, they claim to be very natural....

I absolutely LOVE TF Neroli. It last a good 4+ hours on me. I have an extensive TF fragrance collection, Neroli is my favorite.

Do John varvatos artisan pure. I would be interested to hear what you think of it.

"This will be long-lasting." Neroli Portofino lasts about as long as I do. Even the Forte version is out the door in 4. Gorgeous scent, but it simply doesn't stay. Maybe it's just my skin, though.

I have a sample of this and I love it it is very similar to Mandarino Di amalfi but I think that one is more orange like. Apparently Neroli Portofino is similar to 4711 .

Could you do Costa Azzurra EDP next?

You should try out "Ganymede" by Marc-Antoine Barrois.

why is it impossible to get guapo or neon in the US?

Neroli Portofino got me hooked on fragrances

I have a sample of it. Tried it. I think it comes across as a very refined and well put together parfume... but weird memories. It smells so clean, so immensely clean. And it reminds me of a cleaning crew. I don't recall exactly where, but I immediately picture the cleaning lady and rubber hand shoes and gear. I just cannot remember when and where. I blame it on the neroli and found a cheaper, less intense perfume to get used to neroli.

this is one of my favorites from tom ford I do wish it lasted longer on me

I'm actually wearing a Tom Ford today, an old one: Plum Japonais. Can you do a review of that one, Aaron?

Sounds good but for me i like your stuff as it lasts ages on my skin 👍

Neroli Portofino is one of the few fragrances that actually smell like how it is described in the sense that you feel like you're on a coastal town in Italy...

Have a alternative too this one?

To me this is very nice but smells like posh washing up liquid (in a good way) and is quite linear.

I'm a little confused that you say it should have long longevity, on my skin it projects like 30 min and last max 2h, on cloths 3-4h maximum (only if I bath them with like 10+ sprays), it's the only downside of that fragrance, it's the reason I can only wear it on the morning when I'm at the beach (I'll go into water no matter what I wear, so at least I don't waste it, but will not buy another bottle). Did you tried to see how long it lasts? I mean, if I didn't knew better, this sounds like Tom Ford payed you to say "long lasting", they have to create an "intense" version because everyone complained about how weak this performs, and the intense version it's way overpriced.

tom ford fleur de portofino what is thougts about it thanks

I LOVE neroli portorino! It’s massive on me What about the new Tom ford costa azurra? I’m so curious about that one

Only guy who's reviews I trust. And his level of camp is awesome. I cud b pals with aron. Or is it Aaron? 😘

This one smells to me like green aloe vera gel & I'm totally okay with it.

NP lasts for an hour, 2 at the most for me. Sad, because I like it quite a bit but not at that price point

One of the best smelling fragrances of all time in my opinion but the projection and longevity is absolutely poor! 🤦‍♂️ Are there any alternatives that smell similar but last 8hrs plus?

👍👍👍👍

Hi Aaron. I have one request for you. Can you review Sean John 3 A.M? It's really popular in frag community, and it's really beautiful scent, but longevity is almost non-existant, so it would be wonderful to hear your expert opinion why that happens...thank you and have a good one :)

Ferrari Bright Neroli anyone?

Way over priced. Standard neroli fragrance, (IMO). Longer lasting, intense? It's one of the worst performing citrus fragrances on the market. More like a 5/10. You have to spend almost double for the Forte edition to get any kind of performance. For this kind of price, go for Xerjoff Nio. It's better than NPF in every possible way.

Try Orto Parisi Bergamask. It's the same guy as Nasomatto, just different line. It's (according to people) bargamote and musks, but it lasts like 12h and has a monster projection despite the fact I fant feel it after 3 hours on myself. I really wonder what's on that to make it that strong and lasting yet smell of musks and bergamots. (Supposedly people ale say there's javanol overdose in it)

This used to be one of my most beloved and cherished scents back in the day. Last week I tried it out in the store on my skin and I was severely disappointed. This used to be just a sunny and happy scent that turns gorgeous creamy from the musks. This time however it almost turned cat pee on my skin and the great dry down was compromised ´.

You look EXTRA phine in this video tho🫠

Simple fragrance that last a long review :)

If you ever get a chance have a whiff of cheap Turkish colonia, literally smells exactly the same.

I LOVE YOU ADAM LEVINE

Smells great, but doesn’t last at all. I own a 50 ml

So you would probably like h24 speaking of hot iron smells

Smells amazing but performance isn't good at all. I definitely prefer the Forte version in both scent and longevity

This man is an alchemist

I hated it, just not the right notes for me ☹️

Reminds me of a sommelier. 50% knowledge. 50% Drivel.

This video is a prime example of why you should actually take 12 hours to test the longevity of the cologne in question rather then just guessing based on smell alone. Anyone that is familiar with this genre of scent in the same family as 4711 knows it doesn't last long. Epic fail that could be prevented by testing.

This is a very good review as always. He is unique in dissecting any scent that is given to him. The only problem? Aaron conveniently overlooks the fact that this is a shamelessly overpriced blatant clone of 4711. Because Tom Ford can do no wrong.

Inspired by 4711

Bro got surgical with it

The problem with Neroli fragrances is that they all smell similar. Having multiple Neroli fragrances is redundant. Neroli Portofino is nice but terrible longevity.

Smells like Holiday at the beach man….

This - to me - smells almost exactly like 4711 which is just a fraction of the price and has been around for about 200 years...it's basically a dupe, sold at a much higher price point, there's nothing original about it and personally I think it's Tom Ford's low point because it's just such a flagrant copy

It's actually a clone of "4711 Kölnisch Wasser", which was created in 1792 in cologne. That's where the term "Eau de cologne" comes from.

I tested many times, not my cup of tea 🤷

Wouldn't you be interested in doing videos explaining perfumery language and stuff like that other than reviews. I mean if you've got the time to do so obviously

I’m Philippino, Oriental doesn’t offend me in the slightest. Why should it. Orient means of the East. If someone is telling you that Oriental is offensive, they are properly some white college elite saying it is. Keep using it. It’s the most accurate way to say where you think the notes are from.

Bro your nose is expensive and accurate.

Hi there from Paris, Sorry but I don’t get why so many people here do praise this review, as this review is very misleading about TF Neroli longevity… This is a fact that is almost of a public notoriety! So much that we can really question the reasons why this professionnal reviewer states the contrary. And I dont really trust the « on my skin » typical argument (unless you are an alien with a skin from planet Jupiter^^). Cheers !

It just smells like sun-tan oil! Straight up, no difference. And the sun tan oil lasts longer and is a 50th of the price! lol!

Tom Ford’s WORST scent , it’s an extremely overpriced BABY COLOGNE.

The scent reminds me of toilet cleaner.

This is really weak to me, lasts about 20 mins and absolutely does not justify the price. Just a total cash grab by TF.

Wth is this explanation!! I just need to know if the perfume is nice or not and what best occasion to wear it 😅 I guess I am sticking to Jeremy

To me is feminine 😅

I really wanted to love Neroli Portofino, but it just smells like toilet cleaner to me. Such a shame as it's clearly a classic.

Not a fan of TF, overpriced and overrated
