What does Sol Y Sombra smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative. It suits men and women alike and sits easily as an everyday scent.

It opens with aquatic notes, candied orange, coconut and tangerine, a fresh and fruity start. In the heart, Turkish rose, ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac bring floral warmth, while toffee pulls the scent toward a creamy, gourmand side. The base of musk, benzoin and sandalwood softens the sweetness and gives it staying power.
