Perfume technically isn’t gendered. How do I know? Well, aside from being a certified fragrance expert, I happen to know many couples who swap scents. Celebrities do it too, including Jennifer Connelly and her husband, Paul Bettany.

In an interview with Vogue, Connelly shared that she discovered her favorite perfume through her husband. “He has been wearing Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford, and I borrow that,” she told the publication.

I can’t say I’m surprised. The mix of vibrant citrus and grounding herbs makes this an ideal scent to share with your significant other.

In general, Tom Ford scents are some of the best for sharing. However, the bestselling Neroli Portofino is a top choice. This transportative scent can make you feel like you’re relaxing on the Italian coast, even when it’s below freezing, or you’re halfway across the world.

The uplifting combination of citrus, herbs and white florals, offset with deep amber, transforms any day into a vacation. This opens with four types of citrus: bergamot, mandarin orange, lemon and bitter orange. But rather than smelling tart and overpowering, lavender and rosemary bring it down to earth. At the heart, you’ll become mesmerized with a bouquet of orange blossoms, neroli and jasmine before this settles in a light musky haze of amber, ambrette and angelica root.

Sounds like a dream, right? Well, those who have smelled it truly can’t get enough (it’s one of Tom Ford’s most popular picks for a reason.)

“Neroli Portofino is the coastline of the Mediterranean — the eclipse of land by jewel-bright waters,” one shopper wrote. “It is both earth and sea. It is a lemon grove dotted along the countryside, it is orange blossoms cradled in bare arms, a field of lavender, and a heady veil of amber, jasmine, and rosemary that falls at night. It is female, and it is male. It is pleasure, and it is stillness.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

As we head into the holiday season, consider getting Tom Ford Neroli Portofino for your significant other. It will end up being the gift that keeps on giving. . . since you’ll probably end up spritzing it on yourself, too.
