Sole di Positano

This is a really nice fragrance for men and is just lovely! I got it as a sample when I was buying my dad and brother presents for Christmas one year. Tom Ford is a good fragrance house for men, but not so much for women in my opinion. Everything they make is far too masculine for a woman to wear, apart from Tubéreuse Nue and Soleil Blanc. This fragrance is certainly masculine, but in the fresh, green and citrusy sort of way. You can smell a decent amount of non-indolic and only slightly sweet white floral notes too. I can pretty much smell all of the ingredients in here, apart from the oakmoss. The notes I can smell the most of are the bergamot, the vetiver, the neroli and the orange blossom. Neroli is definitely the most prominent note out of these. I get small whiffs of the jasmine, ylang ylang and lily-of-the-valley also. This fragrance makes me think of being in the Mediterranean in either Italy or Greece and diving into a beautiful lake surrounded by orange trees that are half covered in orange blossoms and half covered in oranges. There is lots of greenery by the lake too and this is wafting into your nose gently and serenely. It's a very serene vacation scent, if anything. Somewhat zen. Projection and sillage are moderate as well. It's slightly overpriced for what it is, but so are all Tom Ford fragrances. It's still one of the better neroli fragrances out there for sure! 8/10

One of the best Tom Ford fragrances, and I've thrown this buzz word around a few times on here, but this deserves it, too: a masterpiece of a scent (or very close to it). I've gotten many samples of it, and I think it's very addicting. As a man, I mainly just wear it around the house because it's incredibly pleasant and inviting. It's how you'd imagine the breeze in Positano, Italy to smell in late Spring or early Summer--clean and refreshing. It's a little light, and I wish it had a little longer longevity/sillage. However, it's partially those performance characteristics that make the opening so gorgeous; it adds to that light floral, citrusy, slightly soapy and green perfection. I wish there was a "Forte" version like Neroli Portofino has. I own and love Mandarino di Amalfi--another gorgeous offering. I don't think this is super similar, but it's definitely clear that they're in the same family. Mandarino di Amalfi is more easily worn by a man, and this would be the perfect match for an accompanying lady to wear. All the ones from this line are very nice, with the exception of Costa Azzurra that I like but has oud in it that can be offensive. This is the best one for the girlies for sure. Guess I'll have to get it for my girlfriend some day to match my Mandarino di Amalfi! 100% full bottle worthy. 10/10 scent, 6.8/10 longevity, 6.5/10 sillage (not overpowering) and 9/10 overall.

I have several Tom Ford fragrances. This is my favorite one. Typically Tom Ford doesn't rub me the right way. There is something about the general fragrance style of this company that isn't for me. I find many of their fragrances too loud, too weird, unusual to the point of not being pleasant to smell. My problem with Sole di Positano is its longevity, like others have mentioned here. But I think the scent itself is gorgeous. Perfect for summer and romantic, it's a carefree scent and I do find it quite unique, honestly. I knew as soon as I tested it that I really liked it and I ended up buying a full bottle. I wear the scent often. As far as projection goes, it's basically a skin scent, maybe to light projection. Another thing I like about this fragrance versus most powerhouse sillage bombs from the Tom Ford line. I think this is a really elegant perfume. I'd wear it on holidays in Monaco or the south of France/Italy/Spain. It's subtle and understated, definitely on the feminine spectrum. I think this one is really underrated, but I can understand that it is an outlier in some ways to most TF fragrances. I really like it though, and I'm totally looking forward to wearing it again once the weather warms!

This is absolutely beautiful. It's how I imagine a sexy, romantic getaway would smell. Not in the way a Caribbean vacation smells (tropical, coconut), but more like a Mediterranean vacation (citrus, neroli). It's so fresh and so clean. It's definitely unisex but I find it slightly more feminine, although I would love to smell this on my husband. It's bright and uplifting, it's warm and calming, it's fresh and crisp but in such a smooth way. I can actually smell all the notes in this one but they are all blended so beautifully. This scent makes me feel so happy and refreshed! Longevity is actually pretty good on my skin. I wore it yesterday and I could smell it on myself for about 6 hours. Mind you it's winter here in Canada right now and this definitely is more of a summer scent. I can't wait to try it on the really hot, humid days of summer. I'm wearing it again today and we're currently experiencing a big snow storm outside, yet this perfume is making me feel like I'm floating along the Mediterranean Sea with my super toned, tanned, sexy husband on our own private yacht. It's such an enjoyable scent. Rating: 8/10

I resisted buying this for so long due to the price and owning too many fragrances. But my yearning for it led me to sample other similar fragrances but nothing compares to this beauty. So beautifully blended, the fresh citrus burst melds with the white florals perfectly. But my favourite thing about Sole Di Positano is the depth of the green-ness acting as a backbone, but not positioning as a green perfume (for the record I love green fragrances). But don’t be alarmed by the fresh-green-ness, there is a beautiful softness from the white florals and I detect a tiny ozonic note to add extra interest. In my sampling, the closest I found was This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.6 by Histoires de Parfums. But if SDP is the golden child with both beauty and brains, TINABB is more like the pretty but ditzy cousin - a little more floral and sweet but not many thoughts going on behind the eyes. Still a great runner up though.

Tried this one the other day and fell in love immediately. A clever addition to Neroli Portofino line. They shifted the focus from neroli to bergamot and added a big amount of floral notes. Thus, Sole di Positano is a perfect choice as a masculine floral; bergamot and citruses at the beginning protect it from being ultra feminine. In comparison with Neroli Portofino the Sole smells less citrusy and zesty, more sophisticated; still soapy, however, without an aftershave vibe. Simply perfect. More floral than fresh in the dry down it reminds of Jour d'Hermes and other white florals with a lemony top. Some complain about the longevity. It perfoms well on me, the way the spring/summer fragrance has to perform (I don't like heavy frags).

There are plenty fragrances suited to summer but few evoke a sense of blue skies and sunshine like this one. I say sunshine, as opposed to fruit, sea, sailing, swimming or the beach, for example. Others evoking the same sense are Givenchy's Insense (the OG), D&G's Light Blue (again, the OG) and Creed's EROLFA. Each different, but all trick my mind into reaching for the factor 50. SdiP is really beautiful, and quite light, I think its the mixture of petitgrain, citrus and florals. Still exhibiting decent performance mind. Bottles are seemingly available at only obscene prices, I now rely on decants. 4,5/5

I used to think this was just another floral aquatic from tom ford but comparing it to neroli portofino or Costa azzura I Feel this one is underrated and has a very unique blend of florals and fresh. The initial spray might be too much for some, but my favorite with this fragrance is the drydown. Its so heavenly and a different musky from neroli protofinos dry down. 10/10. A tom ford masterpiece thats not a cold weather like the other from tom fords best (Noir Extreme, Oud wood, tobacco Vanille, Tuscan leather)

Does anyone out there remember a fragrance called Hawaiian White Ginger from Avon? Well, my grandmother had a bottle in her medicine cabinet and I remember going into her bathroom and smelling it. Sole di Positano reminds me of that. It has a tropical floral scent of jasmine, orange blossom and lily of the valley on a bed of moss. Yes, there is citrus, but flowers are the main players. It is a great summer get-away fragrance. I love to wear this on the weekends in a white linen shirt and Italian loafers, ciao!

Tried this and already said ,I have Mandarino D'amalfi... Also reminds me of Le Labo Fleur D'Oranger 27 Nice. Best color bottle. Bought a falcon. I like these fragrances and they wear down beautifully for me at work. I don't mind reapplying during the day. I have had to. Also the atomizers they give you now with the flacons hold half as much as before. I am glad I stocked up on the original Nice ,repetitive in the line,will appeal to many Yes citrus citrus white flowers yum

Got this for ma birthday recently. The scent is totally rad like a day at the beach with the sun shining down on you It's got this cool mix of citrus and white floral notes that will transport you straight to the Italian coast n get this - it's just the perfume, no need for lotion or any other fancy stuff so you can smell like an ultimate chad without any extra effort. Catch some waves and catch some compliments with Sole Di Positano 🤌🏻

I wore this for the first time yesterday and found it to be an excellent fragrance. Perfect for summer. You can tell it's a sibling to Neroli Portofino, but a little more floral and "bright". I found the longevity to be outstanding for this type of fragrance. With 7 sprays it was still projecting after 8+ hours. Just another well done frag from Tom Ford.

Probably my favorite spring summer fragrance of all time. Wore a sample of this abroad in the Mediterranean this past year(the sample lasted so long, it’s great) and was astonished by the scent and longevity of it. I wish I could find it near me to try out to confirm my love for this. Classy and casual at the same time.

A delicious savoury fresh eau de cologne-like perfume that lasts! The shiso leaves and good dose of petitgrain are what makes it slightly different from typical summer cologne perfumes I think, and oakmoss gives it lasting power. Florals round it out nicely. Very nice, very unisex and easy-to-wear.

Absolutely lovely, bright and sunny, slightly floral citrus blended to perfection! Stays quite linear with the main focus on bittersweet citruses surrounded by naturally soft and sweet flowers gradually yielding to a smoothly green and mossy base; light projection and reasonable longevity :)

Beautiful scent. Plays out beautifully in the summer heat. Refreshing, addicting. Worth a full-bottle IMO. I am weak for anything with Neroli, and while this has less neroli than Neroli Portofino, it is still beautiful. Perfect for summer.

I love this scent because I'm a white florals fan. A beautifully well-made summery, aquatic floral scent that is a bit light...but who wants heavy beast mode fragrances in the hot weather? Whether it's worth the price is another question.

This has one of the most beautiful dry downs, but unfortunately that amazing scent doesn't last very long. This is a fragrance you would have to reapply constantly to keep it in it's wheelhouse, but it's totally worth it!

This fragrance has all the best stuff of all the Portofino collection releases. The most complete, rich and diverse of all of them. This is the perfect perfume for a Mediterranean summer place.

This smells like the June wedding of Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino and Gucci's Mémoire d'une Odeur. On the beach. With a subtle hint of sunscreen breezing through.
