The intensifying heat of late had me reaching out more for freshies. Now it's one of those distinctly blue bottles from Tom Ford's Private Blend line . The hue alone stands apart from the predominantly dark-colored flacons of the house, evocative of something that clearly says fresh. Right off the bat Neroli Portofino reminds me of Nenuco , the baby cologne, only smoother and a little longer-lasting. But I love it, its purity and freshness that's such a mood lifter. Citruses dominate the opening and linger for several minutes before giving way to a very clean mix of white florals. It's a people-pleaser in its simplicity and I find it totally unisex.
