So fresh and bubbly, orange and green. It is sunny, uplifting and calming. It makes me think of sitting in the sun, under a canopy of green leaves, out on a balcony with the ocean beneath.
It’s a soft citrus, more warm than sweet, smooth and refreshing. It’s not a love for me but it is good.
Aborgarobre – :
Not bad, Its Fresh. Tom Ford should stick with the American style colognes, and let the Italians make the Authentic Fresh Neroli based mediterranean scents. Like Acqua Di Parma, Bottega Veneta or Zegna etc

Sole di Positano is part of the current flood of Mediterranean releases that are all the rage these days. But I was excited to try it as Shiso is one of my favorite herbs and it’s listed, though difficult to distinguish in this blend.
Along with Orange Blossom, Neroli and several citrus notes, this is very natural and easy to like. But just when I started to relax and get into the Southern European vibe, it’s gone. Sole di Positano behaves more like a cologne on my skin. The price prohibits me from adding it to the collection.
If you have Neroli Portifino, don’t bother as NP is very similar but it has much better longevity than Sole di Positano.

Fragrances don’t have a built-in gender. In ancient times men used to bathe in rosewater and lillies. In modern times, men typically use flower-scented creams and soaps that leave a scent behind, and nobody thinks about it. If you’re a man, have you not washed yourself with Dove from time to time, or applied Avon Skin-So-Soft, or washed your hair with Salon Selectives because it was in the shower and belonged to either your girlfriend, wife, or mom?
This scent is amazingly fresh and light. It feels like reclining in the sun in an orange grove amid millions of blossoms.
Scent: 10/10
Longevity: 4 hours
Sillage: arm’s length

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.
andrewshka006 – :
This is the ultimate Italian princess fragrance—so sweet, and perfectly beautiful, and stimulating to every touch of the heart. It’s so well done, and so easy love for every quality it has.
I swear this fragrance defines a panty dropper. It’s charming and unique. The florals are perfectly sweet, and vivid. They draw you in real close—the ultimate enclosure for intimacy.
The notes here are balanced amazingly well—and a smart or handsome man should easily be able to pull this off as unisex.
It would make him even more sexier. That’s the effect that it has for me anyways—or the way it makes women feel about me in public. They absolutely love it! And although they act like they’re not paying attention, but the latency (in the way that they pause)—makes their attention undeniable!
Sole di Positano is a must-have for the summer if you want to feel good when you go outside in the heat and sunshine. You want to reach for it everyday—it’s that stylish and comforting. If you’re a man or a woman, you’re sure to turn heads everywhere you go, and love every moment wearing this beautiful fragrance.
Perfectly plump, and voluptuous in every facet.

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!
ser64456 – :
I think it’s quite pretty and fragrant and very pleasant. But I can’t wear it because for me, it is WAY too feminine, in the way that evokes memories of the women in my life, and as a dude, for me, that’s a no. I can’t pull this off comfortably at all.
I do wear other unisexual scents and I always like to try them, so this was a sample blind buy for me. I gave it to a dear lady friend.
victut – :
Great uplifting scent for warm weather days. Clean, bright citrus accords that evokes happiness and peace. If you can afford it, own it. You will find the scent has a place in your daily life.
ovka – :
I really like this fragrance. It is sexy and androgynous. My only chagrin, as most have already mentioned, is longevity – but that is to be expected with a citrus fragrance. Really lovely fragrance.
power007 – :
I am not going to say more of what has been said in great detail. But I will reaffirm the following: A great opening, wonderful and crisp and refreshing but last about an hour. Not worth it for this.
aliskerov – :
greener, more citric and less sweet fleur de portofino
as usual, amazing, gorgeously realistic smell but awful, almost non-existent longevity
here’s to hoping I have the funds to purchase one of the TF blue line and respray every two hours or so like its water.
Ditc – :
Smells like laundry detergent. A scrubber for me.
lev2486 – :
Pleasant, but very weak performance
Carbon copy of Neroli Portofino with a heavier emphasis on florals
Not worth the $$$
FriendSavannah – :
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.
KENT_VIRUS – :
This is a great scent. It’s well-blended, soft and fresh. But I have smelled this before. It has its slight differences (a more pronounced bitter orange, and the addition of shiso and LOTV), but this could be many white floral/orange combos that already exist. Would I take a bottle if it was given to me? Absolutely. But I’m not keen on buying one myself. If you have yet to find your perfect scent within the realm of white floral citrus, try it. If you already have one you love, this is probably redundant. Also, this has unfortunately poor longevity.
EDIT: This one is growing on me the more I wear it! A pity it has poor longevity and a high price tag or I might actually go buy it!
MactEmalm – :
A lack lustre release from Tom Ford. Sure, it is a beautiful citrus based fragrance that does evoke Southern Italy on a warm, sunny day, but it has been done a thousand times before. I thought the shiso might add an extra dimension, but I can’t smell it, at all. Strength, like most citrus heavy scents, is moderate to low. Sillage is low. At this price point I’m looking for unique, interesting, multi dimensional scents – not a linear, citrus one. So it is a pass for me.
evelinka – :
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 🙂
safalex – :
Smells lovely for about 30 minutes and then it’s completely gone. I’m very disappointed, as I spent a fortune on a large bottle. It’s so weak, but so expensive. Yes, the bottle is pretty but the perfume is a rip-off.
Domian – :
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
GoLDs391 – :
Well, it’s cute and pretty, but also totally an unnecessary addition to the Private Blend family. It’s a short-lived floral citrus that straddles the line between eau de cologne and laundry detergent. I get get a sweet citrus with bitter zing enveloped by sweet wafts of jasmine/ylang ylang á la Jasmin Rouge. It doesn’t develop much and just gets weaker and lighter the moment you spray it. Talk of oak moss, lily of the valley and shiso feel like a delusional stretch. It’s almost like a blend of Mandarino di Amalfi and Jasmin Rouge now that I think of it.
I would like this, but in the context of Tom Ford, it’s weak and dull. With Fleur de Portofino in the line, this was completely unneeded as Sole di Postiano does the same job but much worse. I guess at least the SdP bottle is the prettiest in the line. It’s quite sad to see the gorgeous Oud Fleur and sumptuous Ombré Leather get discontinued to make room for such mediocrity.
I think it’s time for Tom to take a vacation and go back to the drawing board.
kolya2008 – :
An OK scent but nothing special. Clean kind of soapy scent. Not worth the price imo.
zhumahanov_erken – :
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).
Давлетов – :
The opening is amazing, with minty and citrusy notes. But after one hour It becomes sopy and dry on my skin. I still love the perfume though
das77 – :
So beautiful ,but absolutely no sillage , soo diluted
very disappointing
zevs2411 – :
I got a sample of this at Nordstrom in Chicago. Had high hopes as an assistant in Glasgow told me “Azure Lime” was about to find life again in a new release, alias SdP. Scores of limoncello stalls and hastily flogged pizza is what comes to mind having spent some time in Positano and regrettably, this seems another flogging of the Neroli Portofino steed that was the bellwether of TF’s fresh EdP lines. Lemon, orange blossom and jasmine from the word go. But just as it comes to rest on the skin, its gone. Definitely green, a slight touch of the mossy indulgence that featured heavily in the Vert collection. No lime and sadly, not particularly complex aside from justifying the price. Lemonade for a champagne price tag. But I suppose THAT’S the point.
mandrevnik – :
Finally! A summer Tom Ford I can actually get excitied about! Less Neroli? Lots of ylang and OAKMOSS!? Well I’ll be damned, sign me up!
hhz786Bessinepome – :
managed a sneak sniff of this a few weeks ago in David Jones Market st Sydney store and,to my nose,shares more of a Fleur de Portofino floral vibe but less sweet without the acacia honey note.Still lovely but if you own FdP it may be a pointless addition to your collection.
LexaSour – :
Another lemony Aqcua di Parma. Nice if that’s what you’re looking for but nothing really new. I must say I was not too impressed with the mossy drydown on my skin.
