What does Sole di Positano (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with lemon, Italian bergamot and mandarin orange, while shiso leaf adds a green edge. The heart brings orange blossom, jasmine absolute and ylang-ylang for a soft floral feel, lightly balanced by sandalwood. Musk and moss close it out, and the overall impression is aquatic, fruity and gently sweet.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost evenly split. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino and Giorgio Armani Air di Gioia have a close profile.
