Pomelo Sorrento

It's starting to become difficult not to sound repetitive. I am attracted to Italian citrus fragrance. I have tried so many that I think I have to go to Group therapy. I prefer Italian because of the quality. At first I was hesitant because I read the reviews before I tried it for myself. Never do that. I thought this was going to be artificial and cheap. It is far from that. Perhaps if you don't give it time and you judge it simply off of the first five minutes, yes I can see that. It has a green tea by Elizabeth Arden vibe. I suggest you wear it again. What happens afterward is quite beautiful. A very realistic and supple grapefruit and pomelo are introduced and there's no turning back after that. It is a memorable citrus. A citrus that you will crave instead of forget. With as many citrus fragrances that are around approaching 2024, consider this an exceptional compliment. I am testing this out in the middle of December in California when it is about 40°. I can only imagine what this will smell like in the summer afternoon. Pomelo Sorrento, at the very least, deserves a summer afternoon.

No idea where I saw this originally, but I finally caved and blind bought it due to the glowing reviews. This is blind buy safe if you like Italian citruses with light florals. This is in the same vein as Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi or Sole di Positano, but I think they're quite different. If it were a family, this is a first or second cousin. It's closer to the latter of those two if I had to say. It's quite easy to imagine walking around Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast of Italy and smelling this in the air. It perfectly captures that mood. I got a full work day in the office performance out of it, with sillage dropping to less than arm's length by noon. After I showered when I got home, it could still be slightly detected. For a fresh citrus scent, that's great performance. The bottle is quite nice, but the cap is the star of the show. Very pretty and appears handmade. This is among my best blind buys, and I absolutely love it! This is happiness in a bottle.

I’ve been on a quest to find a tea fragrance that my skin chemistry will accept, ever since my cancer meds have made my hormones go haywire the last couple of years. Black tea notes now smell smoky and tobacco-like; green tea notes smell “overripe,” somehow. I’m not even sure how many tea fragrances I’ve tried in the last 2 years, but Pomelo Sorrento is the only one that finally didn’t smell weird and “off” on me. The opening has a candy-like sweetness to it; it actually reminds me of zesty, spicy Fruit Loops. Despite its name, I’m only getting grapefruit from this. We have 2 pomelo trees on our property, and this smells like neither the flowers nor the fruit. While the citrus notes are rightfully the stars of the show, I’m actually here for the dry down. That’s when the tea note really emerges for me, and it’s soft and comforting. Definitely a skin scent, but it actually lasts for hours on the final stage and is exactly what I’d been searching for.

Parfem je toliko dobar, lep, opojan, toliko svež - razgaljuje, pa zanemarujem njegovo kratko trajanje zbog ogromne lepote mirisa. Ovo je parfem definitivno za toplije proleće, leto, čak i naveče dok je vruće, može i za teretanu, sportsku odeću, farmerice, patike, šorc, majica itd. Parfem ima toliki moćan udar da je to fantastično u prvih 15 minuta, kasnije narednih dva sata malko spadne oblak, ali se itekako oseti da ostavlja trag za vama, nakon 3 sata on ide uz telo. Nekoga će to kratko trajanje odbiti, ali verujte mi da se to apsolutno zanemari kako je divan miris, samo doprskaš opet i sve zviždi hahaha, moja preporuka, nema osobe kojoj se ovo neće dopasti! Kupovina na slepo bez probe je sigurna 10 od 10, ja ga često koristim i u drugim godišnjim dobima nakon tuširanja, jer obožavam taj miris, dešavalo se čak i pred spavanje da ga našpricam :-)

Beachy summer vibes. I often struggle to appreciate fresh scents, as they are often flat and one dimensional, but this gem was a delightful surprise. It starts off with a gorgeous mix of pomelo and grapefruit, both juicy and delicious, while the floral notes provide structure and depth to the overall composition. Eventually you get a hint of that salty sea breeze, that feels like an oceanic element in the blend, likely coming from ambergris(ambroxan), which I truly enjoy - but the foundation is all about the tea, which is crafted beautifully here. I live in Los Angeles, where temperatures can fluctuate randomly between 70°F and 100°F degrees making it perfect for those hot steamy days. It indeed reminds me of Mandarino di Amalfi with a touch of Bulgari Pour Homme mixed in, due to that tea, but much more natural and refined.
