What does 22 Shades of Dolce Solaris smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some choosing it for the office. It reads somewhat more feminine than masculine, though a fair share of voters see it as masculine.

The notes read as one whole: Amalfi lemon, grapefruit, bergamot and Sicilian citrus fruits give a bright citrus feel. Vanilla and amber sweeten it and set it on a creamy base, while sandalwood and musk add a soft depth. The Dua Brand 22 Shades of Bergamot and Le Labo Bergamote 22 have a close profile.
