Fleur de Portofino vs Black Orchid

Fleur de Portofino is well-regarded by those who own it, with consistent praise for its white floral character and honey undertones. While the high price and somewhat underwhelming initial projection are drawbacks, the fragrance's longevity and versatility make it a solid choice for summer wear and an excellent introduction to premium fragrances.

The r/fragrance community has polarized opinions on Black Orchid, with many praising its unique dark, artistic character and exceptional longevity, while others find the heavy patchouli and earthy base off-putting. Most wearers report getting compliments when wearing it in the right context, though it requires careful application due to its extreme strength and works best as an occasional evening fragrance rather than daily wear.
