What does Colpo di Sole smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of ratings is small, so this is an early impression rather than a firm verdict. Its unisex character suits both women and men.

The top opens with bergamot and French angelica for a bright start. In the heart, ambrette seed, osmanthus and Morrocan orange blossom bring a floral, slightly spicy softness. Vetiver lays a woody base underneath, while Bourbon vanilla pulls the scent toward a creamy sweetness. Celine Parade (Eau de Parfum) and Floris Jermyn Street have a close profile.
