Fleur de Portofino Tom Ford 2015 Eau de Parfum

I hadn't even considered this TF.
Yet both Mandarino di Amalfi and Sole di Positano are two summery delights for my nose.
I ordered Fleur de Portofino blind and then immediately scolded myself...
You just don't do that!!!
But I live dangerously and have already succumbed to so many Tom Ford fragrances.

Alright. With sweaty hands, I unpack the bottle.
I was already put off by the term "Fleur".
Now it's too late anyway.
So I spray the fragrance on my arm...
And breathe a sigh of relief. Mhhh it smells better than I expected. Even much better.
I sniff again.
Oh yes, this is nice.
It leans towards Sole di Positano, but somehow not.
It is definitely a bit floral.
But I actually don't mind that!

I jump up and extend my arm towards my sister.
"Smell this," I command, and her usually critical gaze transforms.
"Ohhh," she says.
"I like it"
That means something...

If I could describe the fragrance, it would be like the sister of Sole di Positano.
She likes to pick flowers from foreign gardens and loves summer just as much as I do.

Sometimes I talk in my comments about the "noble soap" as a scent DNA.
I just like good soap.
I get that impression here too.
You simply smell clean, luxurious, and at the same time natural and authentic.

So now to the conclusion:
For me, this fragrance is a successful alternative to Sole di Positano when you don't want to smell the same all the time, but still want to smell just as good ;)
Both are fresh and suitable for summer, for a day at the beach or pool.
But also for an evening stroll along the sea, in a white dress with a few flowers in your hair.
That may sound cheesy, but it's still beautiful, isn't it?
