Masculine · EDP · £14.75
Inspired by Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
Clean Shaven 08 interprets Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, a citrus and neroli composition widely regarded as one of the most consistently praised summer fragrances in the entire Tom Ford private blend range. Product Overview Sold as a 50ml bottle at 25 percent Eau de Parfum concentration, currently listed at 14.75 pounds on the brand's own UK site, discounted from 15 pounds. Clean Shaven's own copy specifically positions it for summer and daytime wear, describing it as office safe and non overpowering. Scent Profile Clean Shaven's own note breakdown for this fragrance, bergamot, lemon and mandarin at the top, neroli, orange blossom and jasmine in the heart, and musk, amber and light woods in the base, closely tracks the real Neroli Portofino structure, an ultra fresh citrus and orange blossom composition built to read as clean luxury rather than a heavier gourmand or spicy fragrance. Technical Structure and Development Neroli Portofino's reputation rests specifically on how well balanced its citrus brightness is against the warmer orange blossom and neroli heart, avoiding the thin, fleeting character that simpler citrus colognes often have. Clean Shaven's stated positioning, ultra fresh and uplifting, clean luxury scent profile, tracks this same brief closely. Performance No independent Fragrantica or Parfumo community data specific to this Clean Shaven interpretation has been found. Citrus neroli compositions in general tend to run lighter and shorter than heavier oriental or woody fragrances even at higher concentrations, so despite the confirmed 25 percent EDP strength here, moderate rather than long longevity is a reasonable expectation, consistent with how the original itself is generally described. Wear Scenarios - Summer and daytime wear, the brand's own explicitly stated positioning for this fragrance - Office wear where a clean, non overpowering citrus scent is wanted - Warmer weather wear generally given the citrus and neroli forward profile - A safe, easy entry point into the Clean Shaven range for someone who prefers fresh over spicy or woody fragrances Scent Family Positioning Clean Shaven 08 sits in the fresh citrus style lane, built on bergamot, lemon and mandarin against a neroli and orange blossom heart and a light musk and amber base, interpreting one of Tom Ford's most consistently well regarded fresh fragrances. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Clean Shaven states directly on the product page that this is their version of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. Flankers and Variations Clean Shaven 08 is part of the brand's wider 01 to 25 numbered range, sitting alongside 05 and 07 as another Tom Ford interpretation within the same collection. Market and Community Reception No independent review coverage specific to this interpretation has been found beyond the brand's general 4.8 rating across Google and Trustpilot. The original Neroli Portofino is one of the most consistently praised fragrances in wider community discussion of the Tom Ford private blend range, which is relevant context for why a house like Clean Shaven would choose to interpret it.
