Neroli Portofino

Copycat Fragrances’ Neroli Portofino lists only three ingredients – bergamot, mandarin and lemon – and is priced at $29 per 100 ml, a stark contrast to Tom Ford’s $600 price tag for the same‑named fragrance. The dupe’s modest note list suggests a focus on a bright citrus opening, without the broader botanical and amber facets found in the original.

Both fragrances share bergamot and lemon, yet the original also contains mandarin orange, myrtle, neroli, lavender, jasmine, rosemary, pittosporum, amber, ambrette and angelica – ingredients absent from the dupe’s disclosure. Conversely, the dupe mentions mandarin without specifying ‘orange’, a nuance that further distinguishes the two on paper.

The verdictOn paper, the dupe offers a very limited citrus palette compared with the original’s extensive aromatic and amber‑rich composition, at a fraction of the price.
