Solarissimo Levanzo

Solarissimo Levanzo de Azzaro is an aromatic, fresh and woody fragrance. Its opening is citrus and spicy, very Mediterranean style, where basil is the star. Within a few minutes some fougere influence of the classic Azzaro Pour Homme is recognizable, because you can smell an accord of lavender, geranium, cedar and coumarin, which is present in that fragrance. The aroma in general is quite pleasant, it is woody with aromatic, and green fresh spices. This fragrance is designed to be used in warm weather, to enjoy outdoors, on the beach or any type of casual daytime activity. Its longevity is not the best, but it lasts between 5 and 6 hours, besides the sillage is also short, almost at skin level either. However it has advantages too, for example in addition to its pleasant aroma, is its low price.

Solarissimo Levanzo is a posh vacation. Not a wild, tacky, bling bling Ibiza or Cancun thing. No. This is summer on a quiet villa far away from tourists and celebrities somewhere in Southern Europe. Levanzo opens with a sweet/tart combination of passionfruit and lemon but it doesn't turn cloying or feminine because of the bitter and dry tea note. It's spectacular. But as all the other reviewers noted, it turns into a skin scent too quickly. And even though that's a disappointment, I sort of get the idea of this fragrance where it should be enjoyed by the wearer, not looking for attention or compliments because it's there where true confidence resides and not on obnoxious, heavy and ultra sweet fragrances. The drydown is clean and slightly powdery. If you find it, get it.

Unlike Assam of India by Parfums Berdoues, which leans more on the citrus side and causes a sour notes most of the time, this is the most balanced lemon tea scent I've ever known. It works so well in warm weather and constantly remind me of sunny days in Sicily. Contrary to a few comments about the performance of this scent, Levanzo lasts quite long with a good but not overpower projection. In Texas heat of 90F-100F, with only 2 sprays on lower chest, it lasts more than 9hr on me. Last thing is it is a unisex lean a bit on masculine side to me.

This sauce is boss. Opens sweet & lemony, transitions into an aromatic tea & cardamom. Lemon stays thru the mid then the whole thing turns to a patchouli/cedar finish. Casual, confident, competent. Performance issues may be largely personal, as this does well on my skin. 2 sprays each collarbone & I project citrus green aroma for 2-3hours & the spicy/sweet base notes stay on my skin 3-4 more. This one holds up better than most other cheap freshies for me & that makes it a great value. Scent 9/10 Performance 7/10 Value 8/10

This is a great fresh everyday fragrance and a total bargain at $AUD30 It reminds me of Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir - the distinct cardomon note - and also the fresh green garden herb notes of CK Truth. The lemon opening is very appealing and it settles into a gentle mint/lemon/sweet spice accord The softness and subtlety of this is a plus for me as a fragrance for everyday wear. It's a safe blind buy (and a better bet than the rather generic blue marettimo variant) Given the low price I rate this 9/10

Really quite good. I was not expecting the way it smells. Certainly, a spring and summer frag. Very smooth with the passion fruit, tea and basil. Very natural smelling and it really hooks you in the nose. Love the way it smells. I have to agree with many others that its one flaw may be the longevity. 5-6 hours, which isn't awful, and some prefer that if they want to be able to change fragrance for another event or time in the day. As just for the scent, I give it an A+. Stunningly good.

Solarissimo Levanzo smells like Gucci Pour Homme II cousin. It has similar nice tea note with some fruity and spicy undertones. Performance is also similar. This tropical fruitiness reminds me also of Polo Black from RL (melon smells like passion fruit). Overall, considering cheap price tag, it's a very nice scent. Sadly its discontinued but I managed to grab few back up bottles in Rossmann on sale for 10 euros each bottle. All in all I don't think this one will be missed... 8/10

This is a really nice aromatic. Performance is moderate (I get about 4-5 hours) without overspraying, but overspraying shouldn’t offend anyone. The passion fruit provides the sweetness, while the peppermint and mid notes are fresh spicy and aromatic. The woody peppermint tea dry down is also pleasant. Suggested deodorant match : Lynx Blue Lavender or Black Night.

This is a great freshie. Classic Italian charm yet modern. Very fresh and green opening with some sweetness and florals behind it. Settles more green and a bit drier but still a lingering sweetness. Longevity is moderate but I may be going nose-blind to it as I use it a lot. It’s an underrated little gem.

i work outside on a golf course and in the heat , this one is amazing . it not a strong fragrance but it last a good 3 to 4 hours with a light projection ( but there is a projection). i think people are a little bit hard with this one when it come to time and projection.

This isn't nearly as bad as I originally described it. It is actually quite pleasant. I used to be not able to smell it, not quite sure why. Maybe because this is one of those so naturally smelling fragrances. I enjoy it now.

The opening brings a lot of alcohol, the accords come up as soon as the alcohol evaporates. Azzaro Solarissimo opens very softly, clean. The opening notes that can be perceived immediately are lemon, mint, tea, and a touch of lavender. The scent is very faint. As the fragrance dries down it becomes sweeter; the lemon note significantly dissipates, the mint remains and the very faint passionfruit note seems to gain some strength powdered by the tonka bean. Once Azzaro Solarissimo reaches its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a very faint, citrus, and mint fragrance with very soft fruity, spicy, and woody accords. The fragrance feels airy, clean, faint, fresh, common, light, masculine, versatile, diurnal, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020 WOW RATING: 8/10.

Opening is good. This is a pleasant summer freshy. 10 minutes after the initial spray, the lemon starts to dissipate and the basil and lavender take over... still very pleasant. After about 20 minutes, it reminded me of lavender tea... fresh, but mild. Very little projection with this one (good for the office), for a day out you'll need to spray more. After about 1 hour, the fragrance settles into something very pleasant, it remains fresh and summery and it does have a hint of the original Azzaro. Overall, a very good, inoffensive, and inexpensive scent. I will probably buy this one again.

This is exactly why you can't make a decision about a fragrance by smelling it in the department store. I got a sample of this and did not like it at all when spraying it on a card. But I eventually tried wearing it one evening for grins and giggles. I love it!! It is on my Christmas List!

Very much so reminds me of my early 2000s Burberry Men Burberry. The Azzarro is a bit lighter and seems to develop woodier rather than stay as sweet, but I could easily mistake them for each other. Very nice scent.

Sweet vetiver + woods. Unusual but charming. There's something very soothing, very relaxing about this fragrance. Took a chance buying an unknown Azzaro flanker and it paid off.

I bought this last year after complimenting a guy who used this stuff, and it was a few hours after he sprayed, so longevity is not that bad, and the scent is gorgeous.

Quite juicy on it, must have been a very challenging fragance to create. It starts off as fruity floral yet commands to be aromatic green. Job well done there.

Very aromatic green and quite synthetic. Moderate sillage and longevity, good wear for most of the year during the day and evening. Good value for money

This is a beautiful, really beautiful and very very pleasant fresh summer scent! Like from the first snif! BUT... so so weak. Ridiculously weak.
