Have you done a review of Neroli Canvas by Al Haramain? It runs around $55.00 for a 75ml EDP

[@Aliza.12]

Can you do something similar for Danger and Elysium from Roja?

[@jen7662]

For me neroli portofino reminds me of some sort of childhood memory. It's either the smell of a shampoo or sunscreen or suntan lotion but I can't recall exactly. It's definitely a unique perfume and I wouldn't wear it daily but it's good to know that there are dupes out there.

[@sergiustancu7]

Am I the only one who expected to see ferrari Bright Neroli in here?😂

[@fernandomilan8754]

Sergiu S not at all

[@shajiwahab]

You and Chad 😂

[@SolarPhoenix61]

Same here. I have both bright neroli and 4711 and they smell very similar

[@blackcat6508]

Personally I find Bright Neroli quite bad smelling

[@JohmathanBSwift]

@@blackcat6508 It goes funny on my skin too.

[@blackcat6508]

The best alternative I could find is Al Haramain's Neroli Canvas, it smells superb and has great longevity and projection.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I'll look for it! :)

[@blackcat6508]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Great, looking forward te see your take on it.

[@burningStereo]

I love 4711, and use it as hand sanitizer currently. Great alternatives are Dior's Escale a Portofino, Nishane Colognisé and Eau de Givenchy.

[@PG-qn8od]

I think Nio by Xerjoff and Oranzo by Sylvain Delacourte are also really good scents in the same vein of NP and 4711. Oranzo is a really long lasting delicious icy neroli scent, and Nio a green grassy neroli scent. Both add a nice unique twist to the classic neroli cologne style

[@SeanHH1986]

usually eau de colognes behave, well....as an eau de cologne lol. but nobody should ever be afraid to buy an acqua di parma fragrance, they outperform numerous edts i own. and you can never really choke people out with it. depending on weather and skin you could definetely even get really good impressive projection.

[@edgy8481]

I always keep a 300 ml bottle of 4711 in the bathroom, good enough for me for that kind of scent. And if I stay indoors on a Saturday, it lasts a long time on me.

[@MrSchoerschken]

The scent ist called "Echt Köllnisch Wasser" not 4711. 4711 is the brand, produced by Mäurer & Wirtz. Echt Köln Wasser means something like real cologne or real water from cologne, a town in germany where this brand came from. For ages there has been a dispute about who invented the fragrance, but the fact is that "Johann Maria Farina gegenüber dem Jülichs-Platz" launched the fragrance in 1709, also in Cologne. In the meantime there are also variants of the fragrance (Nouveau Cologne or the Remix Cologne Anniversary Edition) that appear a little more modern. You should know that the original fragrance is also often called an "Omaduft" here, so as a fragrance that only old ladies wear :-) It is not really hip to wear it even if it smells very good in my opinion. That is probably the reason why it is so cheap here. "Echt Köllnisch Wasser" has no special reputation, although it has been around the market forever.

Wow.dont come for my heart 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LizzieWhiz]

When I live in Spain in the early 80s I wore Eau de Givenchy for Women , it is fresh, clean but had a lingering scent it was probably the sandalwood, oakmoss, musk and cedar base even though it was for women my Spanish boyfriend use to steal a spray so for me I always thought it was unisex fragrance and now the new version is unisex. A fragrance called Alada by Myrurgia was a cheap go to for me when I ran out of Eau de Givenchy. I was classed as a floral, woody fresh fragrance but I could only ever smell the citrus notes and cedar. . I never really think of the citrus fragrances as SOAPY for me a very soapy fragrance is Estee by Estee Lauder which I use to wear but I cannot stand it now. If I want to wear something fresh and invigorating I like to wear Eau Ressourcante by Clarins is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance which has top note basil and lemon, middle note is iris and base notes are benzoin and cedar. So I have come to the conclusion I like citrus and cedar. 4711 reminds me of playing with plasticine at school, it was a brand of modelling clay,with a putty-like texture it was made from calcium salts, petroleum jelly and aliphatic acids.. I am sure they added bergamont to the product to make it smell OK.

[@FRD-HDD]

Like others already have mentioned, Bvlgari Wood Neroli is probably the best alternative.

[@Amanda48133]

I wish I could afford all of Tom Ford fragrances...

[@iniodar7238]

Frederic Malle fragrances are more expensive 🥲

[@giloro85]

Crusellas Kolonia 1800 is the best alternative. It basically smells the same as 4711 and there is also a dryer smelling variety. Its a little longer lasting than 4711 and it only costs a whopping 10$ for 32oz here in Miami.

[@jkbsdasf]

John varvatos artisan pure should be in this list. Thoughts?

[@TheLudwigMS]

Yes. Awesome scent, but very bad projection on my skin.

[@jeroenkommer6467]

Have been using 4711 as an aftershave for years its great for that feeling fresh after the shower and after that I can use what ever I want to smell like because 4711 is gone

[@reasonableselectivefragran5047]

Armani Pour Homme, Acqua di Parma, Quorum Silver, L'occitane and Xerjoff Nio (although in a pricey side) are my current favourites. Thanks for the review

[@paticusmaximus12]

Please get a little shelf to stand by maybe so you can display the bottles as you talk about them.

[@A7mad.]

the best summer fragrance for me is nishane colognise , pure ingredients and long lasting

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@Agerskiold]

TF's N. Portefino is as much a cologne as ADP Colonia Imo 🍊🍋 & I love them both.

[@Caseydog3]

Mugler cologne is very 4711

[@josephbarker6608]

Hi seb. Hope you are well. Ferrari bright neroli is rather nice have you tried it. Very cheap as well.

[@OksanaItkes]

You really make me want to grab the forte version of TF :D

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Ha. I'm sorry. LOL! I love the Forte and I need to get it too but it's so damn expensive! :(

[@RameshKumar-hk2ve]

Hi, Sebastian, You get due respect and appreciation form subscribers due to your intellectual aspects of subscriber necessities. Great job.👍. Have great day.

[@sithukyaw9019]

Jeanne en Provence Neroli Intense is a really really good cheapie alternative to TF neroli

[@jeroenkommer6467]

Here in Holland you can get an 800ml bottle of 4711 for about 50 to 60 euro's that's a great deal

[@vetiwearerdaimyo1592]

Cologne Etat Libre d'Orange Colonia Intensa Acqua di Parma

[@exz1199]

Colonia is nice, but not for the price due to performance issues. It seemed to last 1-2 hours.

[@shyadeny]

Original Vetiver from Creed has a surprising resemblance to Neroli Portofino, with much better performance of course. Could be another good alternative

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I agree and also many say OV smells like Mugler Cologne cause I don't think there's much or any vetiver in OV by Creed. I think Creed's Vetiver is Vetiver Geranium! :)

[@Spit87]

Would have thought Colonia Essenza would be a better choice for a 4711/NP alternative than the OG Colonia?

[@MauriMoore]

You should try Neroli Nostrum by Lunio (Spanish brand) . A Daniel Josier creation ...the best neroli i tried

[@lorili4289]

My favorite Tom Ford is Grey Vetiver

[@c.9914]

My second favourite, after Neroli Portofino.

[@sumeetdhir]

What’s your take on Al Haramain Portfolio Neroli Canvas? They say it’s a Neroli Portfino clone and lasts a lot longer.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I never tried it actually. I'll have to test it out! :)

[@sumeetdhir]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Thanks Sebastian, Please do test and let us know. I love your videos and I'm so envious of your collection (In a good way)!! :) I do have the Neroli Portofino. I love it but it has longevity and sillage issues.

[@UntouchableJ2One]

What size comes with the sprayer on the 4711???

[@fernandomilan8754]

4711 lasts a long time on my skin. But it doesn’t project at all. It’s a skin scent from the very beginning. When I take a shower the next day, I can clearly smell it when the warm water touches my skin.

[@primosongco6811]

I love Mugler Cologne 🙂

[@javierherrera7632]

Perhaps a dull question: what is exactly neroli, and what’s the difference with other notes ? Like for example orange blossom

[@koroosh2005]

Floris Neroli is also good alternative

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I must check again I remember smelling it sometime ago! :)

[@Shellarella74]

I really like Jakes House by Henry Rose beautiful same family!

[@brunomatos3724]

Need some recommendations about beast mode indie fragrances

[@blagojevicniki4492]

I got 4711 90ml tester with a sprayer for 6€.

[@akatosh2795]

What would you say the longevity and projection of NISHANE - COLOGNISE is?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You know it's not like Hacivat. It's a cologne but I feel like it's longevity is better than others like Neroli Portofino. But each body chemistry is different so I would recommend testing it! :)

[@yumsylee5413]

TF Neroli Portofino doesnt last on me too. Not too impressed.

[@ejtullis]

I just purchased Tom Ford Costa Azure Acqua.

[@heric_]

How is it ? Would you suggest it ? I have Costa Azzurra EDP ? Is it very different from that one ?

[@ezekielbeltran1189]

Oooooooo that's my favorite TF fragrance

[@charanjeevghai1341]

U always do too much lengthy video. M always unable to see that. Pls do short ur videos. C u r giving just 5 alternative stuff and it should be finish maximum in 5 to 7 min. Hope u will focus on that

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

My videos are going to get longer and longer. I'm sorry you don't like long videos! :(

[@1130guillermo]

Thanks Sebastian, try Al Haramain Portfolio Neroli Canvas, excellent and cheap alternative to Neroli Portofino, it smells delicious, great performance and projection

[@evangeline6]

I finally have the words for the notes I'm repeatedly drawn to. Neroli soapy. In many cultures, neroli and orange blossom have a spiritual significance as calming & protecting

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yay! It's always good to figure out notes you're into! :)

[@OrinVII]

Alexandra Port by Alexandra Fragrances gives me 8 - 10 hours longevity on a typical day and it's 95% Neroli Portofino. For 60 - ish USD it's fantastic!

[@viggenone]

I have the big Bottle of 4711, I love it! BVLGARI MAN Wood Neroli is on the vein and much stronger, on my skin almost 12 hours, I really don't know how, but I really like it.

[@sorryremix]

I believe 4711 is the first cologne that I ever put my hands on when I was able to wash my hands on my own as a kid . I swear everyone has it in their bathroom grown-up in the Middle East & 40 plus years later I still use it & love it as a lift me up fresh/ happy scent . Cheers 🌞

[@NellyA2]

I bought Floris neroli voyage based on Clemence’s recommend and it’s lovely. Very fresh with aquatic notes and good longevity on my skin. Usually the fresh scents don’t have good longevity. Quite unisex.

[@ab_gaensedistel4396]

4711 Eau de Cologne is a real Eau de Cologne! In Germany it´s so famous. It isn´t meant to stay for a long time and to have a huge projection. It´s more used to refresh yourself if it´s nessecary. It´s used when having a slight headache too. You can dab a handkerchief being sprayed with 4711 on your forehead and often a slight headache gets better. It´s also used like smelling salts if someone is fainting. My grandmother always had a handkerchief with 4711 in her handbag. It´s so cheap that you can use it to clean your hands on journeys with. So it´s multifunctional.

[@terrwes2807]

I recently purchased neroli portofino aqua I love the soapy citrus smell

[@AliAhmed-zj8jc]

Ferrari Bright Neroli is the best 🤩

[@amellauren]

Should add Bvlgari Wood neroli , eau de givenchy and carven l'eau. All great smell and last long. TF portofino is not worth buying. Better you buy 4711 500ml size and bathe with it. Still a lot cheaper and smell the same.

[@AssassinKing19]

yes exactly, in turkish culture you offer your guests "kolonya". typically its a lemon cologne. you pour some in the hands and kind of sanitize them, and put some on your neck/face if you want.

[@UnknownChap]

I've not tried most of these so I appreciate learning more about them from you 😊 Profumum roma's ichnusa could be a good alternative too with the performance you'd want but maybe not the price tag.

[@horatio737]

Robert Quinlan Ichnusa is really nice, but when I saw the price I gave up😂

[@MrNastymic]

There is one/two more: quite expensive Mediterranean Neroli by Zegna and its cheaper counterpart Acqua di Neroli by Zegna as well. I own the second one, bought it for ~ 30$ (100 ml) and I prefer it over Neroli Portofino. It is a little bit more juicy and also it lasts longer. And the price is ridiculous :)

[@finnesttech]

Try al haramain neroli canvas

[@stelianpetrea6987]

Also clean reserve "Aqua Neroli" is very close to Neroli Portofino at a fraction of the price, and it's longer lasting. Great stuff if you like this type of fragrances. Great informative video like always, and a pleasure to watch. Love it!

[@aalifarooqi1628]

Please review 4711 line up specially Acqua Colonia Lychee & White Mint

[@jacobhanks6605]

important point for the Nishane Colognise is it is an "extrait de cologne" 18% concentration!!! Banger🙌🏻

[@iniodar7238]

Ferarri Bright Neroli and Just Jack Neroli are quite similar with Neroli Portofino. My nose almost can't tell the difference, but my wallet can!

[@Amanda48133]

Awesome video. Love neroli and citrusy scents. Thank you :)

[@kristenpotter7100]

So excited for this video. Neroli Portofino is one of my all time favorite fragrances. I wore it in St Lucia on my honeymoon. You’re totally right, the Forte version is stunning. Do you think the Frederic Malle is safe to blind buy?

[@Suil281]

I know this is an old video but have you ever heard of a baby cologne named "Nenuco"? In my opinion is identical to Neroli Portofino, and also super cheap.

[@banksofnoon7867]

bought 4711 and put in the reeds. Keep it on a table near your living room or bedroom. Great scent.

[@Gersberms]

I only know 4711 and never considered it soapy, but to me Davidoff Cool Water used to smell soapy and I felt scents like that were cheap and generic. I don't dislike the scent, but you might as well use a nice shampoo or something and get the same effect, it seems. Every sporty-freshy fragrance seems to be just like the other with subtle differences and I thought that was just a lack of imagination. So I don't buy them. Now I've learned that it's mostly the citrus note for me that I can point out, I am not sure what neroli smells like.

[@fanfreluche]

I agree with you for 4711, COLOGNE INDELEBILE (my favorite) AND ACQUA DI PARMA; but also I like" Etat libre d'orange- Cologne";

[@slicksnewonenow]

I guess I'm late to this particular party... But another great fragrance that has similar notes to the 4711 and the Tom Ford, is from the house of Jacques Bogart. Bogart "SIGNATURE" is a wonderful juice and the longevity is pretty good at around six hours. It's got the most interesting and sharp pimento note at the top of the opening. The middle is the slightest bit sweet, with notes of bergamot, lemon and orange giving way in the early dry down to soapy notes, green notes, white floral notes and woods. The fragrance ends as a very even mix of all these, with a slightly powdery accord. It's available for around $20.00 and I think it's worth every cent. It's my "go to" Summer Scent and I get loads of compliments on it... Usually of the "oh, that smells SO CLEAN!" variety.

[@oldiesgeek454]

@Slick. I don't think I've ever seen anyone highly recommend a cheap fragrance like Bogart Signature... Does it smell natural enough, or is it pretty synthetic? 😊

[@changliu9154]

Eau de Givenchy (2018) by François Demarchy is also similar to 4711. 😀

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

That one yes exactly. I don't own it but I want it now and remember how great it was when I smelled it at Barneys last year! :)

[@andresperezdominguezx5108]

How matters money when you own that huge bottle of NP ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@micahcshoemaker]

Penhaligons Castile is a solid neroli based fragrance comparable to the ones you mentioned. Nice list though, great content as usual, 🍻

[@julietteespinosa5914]

I do enjoy the smell of orange and citruses. I have the 4711 and i do think it's close to N. Portofino Tom Ford. I don't know the other thoug so want to check them. Thank you for another great video. Keeping us entertained while in quarantine.

[@raulsaavedra709]

Mugler Cologne I found very soapy and really very nice smelling, specially for the upcoming warmer weather. In fact ordered one recently, but got the Come Together bottle in spite of the photo with the original bottle on Amazon Germany. Returning it, and ordering the original from another website. It seems that will be the true original at least according to the EAN, hoping to get it soon.

[@malayneum]

try find the 300ml if you can. its usually on older bottle design/formulation.

[@mubashirkhan6881]

Yeh defo has to be the orignal mugler cologne and back up bottle is a must staple for me too

[@MrWallexxx]

We grew up using 4711 as a tummy ache remedy, simply spray on your belly and rub it in and it was always known to help you feel better. It’s absolutely bizarre to me that people wear this as a cologne to smell nice 😂

[@zacharyderouen2039]

Sebastian, I love this review format brother. Please do more of these. Very well organized imo. How would you compare Guerlain Ideal Cologne to the Helmut Lang EDC?

[@ezekielbeltran1189]

Eeek.. that depends on the lhomme ideal type. Theres like 6 different ones I've tried the EDP version but it's more of a sweet sultry frag with almond/warm am very notes

[@zacharyderouen2039]

@@ezekielbeltran1189 specifically the l'Homme Ideal Cologne. The clear bottle encased in white.

[@carlosvmb3341]

4711 no es alternativa a Neroli Portofino. 4711 es una colonia antigua sin sofisticación alguna y Neroli Portofino, aunque es del mismo tipo de aroma, no tiene comparación. Una dura 10 minutos y la de Tom Ford 2 horas, la 4711 es un aroma simple y la de TF es exquisita en sus ingredientes y en su confección. Es como comparar bacon con un chuletón de buey.

[@NyangoStarAmerica]

I think Neroli Portofino is gross, but I want to try 4711 since it is cheap and doesn't last long.

[@thomasosullivan2285]

There is no need to substitute 4711 and it comes in 800ml bottles, so spash it on. And yes, use as hand sanitizer! Heaven.

Been buying 4711 by the liter since the 80s. Great aftershave exactly because it doesn’t last long so I can wear whatever fragrance on top of it. Good refresher as needed too.

[@hk-in8cg]

I tried a sample of the James Heeley, it did smell almost exactly like 4711 but the scent dissipated just about as quick as 4711 does. Does this normally have such a short lived scent?
