I have the previous version of porto neroli, on the skin it smells just like the Tom Ford version. The new bottle reminds me of the small Byron Perfumes bottles!
Thank you!!! I have NEVER enjoyed the TF bitter peach scent and made the mistake of blind buying it because a bunch of reviewers said it smelled like juicy peaches 😳 No… 😑 No it does not 🤢
I thought I was going to like it also, luckily I tried it in the store. I didn't love any of the Tom fords, tbh 😅 except "rose prick" (I love rose fragrance, I could see how people could associate it with grandma 😅 but I really like Rose) Disclaimer I only tried them in store, so there wasn't much of an in-depth analysis, lol. ✌️
I have the old porto neroli bottle and it smells very citrusy , when it dries down you can smell a tiny bit of sweetness but no neroli, does the new bottle have any neroli in it?
I’m almost 99% positive they are the same juice, I have some of the older bottles as well as the newer ones and they smell identical (opened at the same time). I don’t believe there have been any formulation changes with the TF clones
With Bright Peach you need to sit the fragrance for like 1 week, it happened to me but after 1 week it smelled amazing 😻 let the oxygen hit the fragrance inside the bottle
@@Zurriit’s not the fragrance…it’s the plastic from the sample bottle. Those styles of sample bottles can give off a rancid odor and can impact the fragrance. Use glass bottle samples.
I don't know if I just got a weird batch or what, but I had the old packaging of Rose Petal and it was so scratchy and peppery that it literally gave me a sore throat when I smelled it! In the dry-down there was the faintest hint of sweetness, but nothing compared to what I was expecting. Maybe when I run across the new packaging I'll buy a bottle of it again 🤷♀️
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks the peach and neroli are pungent. I’ve had my Maison Alhambra clones for a couple months. Some notes have come forward more,, but still a little too strong for me. I’m not sure if they will change more than they already have. Now after seeing your review, I’m interested in the Rose clone.
12:08 I think the “pee” smell you are experiencing is due to the plastic bottle and atomizer of that style of decant sample bottle. Whenever buying samples, buy samples with a glass bottle base. They usually have better atomizers as well and will not give off that “pee” smell. This is why you are only experiencing it with the Tom Ford scents and not the clones.
Literally the video i was looking for aaaand you also say maison the right way (french for house) unlike theese other youtubers with huge collections that call it mason like its a guys name😂😂😂
You definitely have to wait for the dry down on the Bitter Peach and Bright Peach!!!! Trust me it gets better as it develops into the mid and dry down. Both last for 8 hours. Urine smell goes away I promise!!!!!!!
I have a problem with longevity when it comes to tom ford and I'm annoyed by it cause it costs too much in my county. I looooooove Soleil blanc, thnk god i found the perfect dupe for it that lasts on me. But now, I'm interested to try Neroli portofino
@@paulacoimbra8532 hey, i dont know if it's available in worldwide shipping, cause i live In Tunisia, its a france company made by a tunisian, the perfume is called Cuir Blanc by MAH.
you need to get porto neroli, to my nose smelt nearly exactly like the TF one, also mine has macerated for about 6 months now and its gotten alot better , so have all the 80ml TF clone bottles, not digging these new 30ml ones.
@jermainewarren2716 you must have a very nice smelling house cleaner 😅 , it should smell nearly identical to 4711 but of higher quality and lasts alot longer. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino is basicly a niche clone of 4711
I got Porto neroli today. The old bottle. And I don’t like it at all. The bottle is super nice. It will look good in my collection atleast 😂 but thank you for a honest review because I was going to be hurt if bitter peach was nasty 😂 saved me some money lol
I totally agree with the bitter peach smelling like cat pee!! I definitely feel like it’s a common issue with a lot of peach perfumes that try to make the note more mature or sophisticated? If that makes sense? Like I notice when perfumers add more green notes or try to emulate that sort of natural peach scent fresh off the tree. There’s a urine component that lingers in the back that smells almost like cat pee 🥲 I think the only peach fragrance that smelled good to me was BBW pretty as a peach and the body shops peach body butter. Those smelled exactly like peach rings!
It’s so weird I’ve smelled a lot of lovely peach scents and this is the first time this has happened for me!! The BBW peach one sounds lovely, I wonder if I can find that here xx
@@ZurriI almost couldn’t tell you were Australian but when I opened the video before you spoke I thought you would sound Australian lol. If that makes any sense.
Coral Blush... Cat pee 🤢!!.. the only reviewer to comment on that little detail..But there are people who don't feel it!... if you don't have cats in the house, don't notice it.
I love Tom ford fragrances,,, for the hour that they last. Fortunately, the Bright Peach (I got an old bottle) it is lovely on my skin and I don’t detect any urine odour. Lost Cherry is my favourite perfume but again, zero lasting power. I’ve ordered the Alhambra one so we will see. Also Arabic perfumes have to macerate, sometimes for a few months before they reveal their true scent. I suggest revisiting the ones you didn’t like around June.

The best fragrance reviewer so far
I'm already happy i subbed! 👏🏽🤗
🥰🥰
I absolutely love you content!!!
I love the pacific blue! I ordered what I thought was porto neroli but got the pacific blue. It's a very fresh scent.
I have had bright peach for a couple of months, at first it was very green smelling to me and a little peach now its getting sweeter and less green.
Any dupe for santal blush? 👀
Bright peach is amazing my wife loves it too
Thank you!!! I have NEVER enjoyed the TF bitter peach scent and made the mistake of blind buying it because a bunch of reviewers said it smelled like juicy peaches 😳 No… 😑 No it does not 🤢
I feel you did the exact same mistake, and oh boy that fragrance stinks so badly to me 🤢🤮
I like it

Salut. Porto neroli vs Pacific blue ? 🙄🤔 The best ??
It's not good everyone I know hates it

where did you get them?
Is this the same juice as the old one?
I’m *assuming* so but I will know for sure for the next three as I have the old versions as well (leather and tobacco vanille)
@Zurri they need to sit for a while, the woody oud was abit meh when I first got it, now it's stronger, richer and lasts longer
Yes I usually check up on my middle easterns over time to see how they’re aging xx
Compre rose pink de maison alambra es muy suave pero es rico,lo estoy macerando para ver si mejora
Can somebody pls help me I bought this off Amazon but it shows the old bottle
they are the same juice! don't worry
With Bright Peach you need to sit the fragrance for like 1 week, it happened to me but after 1 week it smelled amazing 😻 let the oxygen hit the fragrance inside the bottle
where do you buy it from?
I get cat pee from peach fragrances too. I love Bright Peach even still. It wasn’t a love at first sniff though. Thanks for sharing!
I won’t give up on it!

I just got eternal touch , smells closer to spicebomb , the vanilla is synthetic and i smell less tobacco , actually i barely smell it
If you're still reading this, and you still have the "Coral Brush" and "Eternal Touch" perfumes, I recommend trying layering them.

Hello. Where did you purchase these???

I love an Indolic it’s hard to explain.
I love bright peach with ….. Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle. Call me crazy.

I got Neroli today and I don’t like it at all 😢
Hi! Which one is the perfect dupe for Soleil blanc? If you can help me, I would know too.

I might see if I can get all of the previous bottles of the next few I smell are different from the previous ones
I just got mine in and it has this house cleaner smell to it… maybe I need to let it sit for a while also, cause as of now, I may give it away

Regardless of the opening of anything, take it from an old hand at this stuff...
It's ALL ABOUT the dry down... I promise.

So unfortunate 😕 cheers from Adelaide!

Yes I regularly check on my old middle eastern scents to see how they’re maturing! It can make a big difference xx
I think all TF fragrances are trash. IMHO.
Aw there are some that I love!! But yes definitely not all of them
Agree.
