So, naturally, the quest for the *cheapest* Neroli Portofino is ON. The real question is, can you *actually* get away with a dupe and still smell fancy? Let’s dive into this hot mess.
First off, I’ve seen people raving about the Zara dupe. Is it *the best* in 2024? Honestly, that’s subjective, innit? Some folks swear it’s a dead ringer, others say it’s close, but not quite. Think of it like this: it’s the “inspired by” version of a designer handbag. It *looks* the part, but is it *really* the same? Probs not. But, hey, if it gets you the compliments and doesn’t break the bank, who cares?
Then you got the whole “find prices” thing. Online is where the gold is buried, no doubt. You can sniff around (pun intended) and maybe, just maybe, snag a discount or a partially used bottle. Word of warning: be careful! There are a lot of shady characters out there slinging fake juice. So, uh, maybe stick to reputable sites.
Speaking of bottles, I saw something about 100ml versus 50ml. This is where you gotta get your calculator out. Sometimes the smaller bottle *seems* cheaper, but per milliliter, you’re actually paying more. Math is hard, I know, but it’s worth doing.
And then there’s the whole “gender neutral” thing. Neroli Portofino is definitely unisex. Guys, girls, non-binary folks, *everyone* can rock this scent. It’s just clean, fresh, and makes you feel like you’re on a yacht in Italy, even if you’re just stuck in traffic.
I’ve even seen body sprays mentioned. Honestly? I’m skeptical. Body sprays are usually weaker and don’t last as long. You might save a few bucks upfront, but you’ll end up using more, so is it *really* cheaper in the long run? Hmmm.
My personal opinion? Look, if you’re dying for the *real deal*, maybe save up and treat yourself. But if you’re on a tight budget, the Zara dupe is probably your best bet. Or, you know, keep an eye out for those online deals and maybe even consider decants (smaller samples poured from a larger bottle).
