Neroli Portofino has a classic supporting notes that all create a fresh, bright, clean lemony citrus and spice effect. It opens up extremely fresh and soap-like. It’s one thing I love about this fragrance. It smells very refined and natural. I can’t fault it on smell, and if the intention was to smell luxurious then this succeeds at it.

In addition to neroli, there is a light amount of orange, mandarin, lavender. This makes it a fresh-floral fragrance without becoming too complex and muddled (as many floral’s do) or too generic (as fresh fragrances often do). The soapy shrill and loud citrus-like neroli  is replaced by a gentle, delicate, natural and smooth neroli.

This is truly unisex, rather than just labeled such, equally acceptable for both men and women to wear. Age is no issue either, as it’s modern enough for any young person to wear with ease, but still sophisticated enough for an older person to wear.
