What does Neroli Portofino Forte smell like?

The top is lavender, basil, blood orange and bergamot, so it opens bright, aromatic and fruity. Orange blossom absolute and bitter orange tree absolute add a soft floral heart. In the base, oakmoss, suede and Italian coastal woods settle it onto a woody, lightly spicy footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Nikos Sculpture Mykonos and Ellis Brooklyn West have a close profile.
