This by no way masculine in my book. So much white floral notes makes me want to give this to my girl friend. The scent opens with a mild citrus note, moves very quickly to floral then the musk mixes with floral notes.
This would be great scent for a girl / woman.

Oh wow I did not imagine montal copying dolce and Gabbana!!
This is copy Of D&G light blue for women !
well it is more rich and more ( intense )
so it came close to the D&G light blue intense .
soooooo
To be honest it is stronger in sillage and lasting hour , BUT .. If I have to choose 1 I will be light blue just because it is the original and showing appreciation for the scent!
I dont believe the identical scent came by accident!.

citrusy slightly soapy opening
dries into a more warm woody scent with citrus background that is fairly soft
it’s just very very safe overall, i got this to be a office scent because i wanted a safe choice. This is maybe a little too safe imo
I don’t really know if this is something worth the price that it costs; it’s fresh for sure but it’s just so safe and basic smelling, not that i’ve smelled things exactly like this but i have smelled this vs some other bleu’s / fresh scents and they are all better than this just because they have personality.
This to me is like really really zesty soap but without that really gaging soapy smell.
Is it worth 100? i suppose if you want something that is very safe for work but you don’t want to stand out AND you don’t want to offend someone then this is a pretty good choice.
If you don’t like that Ambroxan / Musk smell that many of these scents have but you want a clean/fresh citrusy scent then this is best for you
So if you hate Sauvage/Bleu de Chanel/Coach/Dylan Blue, but you want that DNA without that musk or without any real balls to be frank, then this is perfect for you because it’s woody, it’s citrus and that’s basically it, it is for sure clean/fresh but it’s not like those mass appealing scents because it doesn’t have that attention grabber than these have, some have more musk than others some have more incense or tonka or some have a lil more citrus notes, this doesn’t have that at all! it’s kinda weird that this is a Niche scent tbh because compared to those others, they seem more unique than this imo.
This is about as a generically ‘safe’ and clean scent as you could get, it’s actually scary!
I wear this to Church and Church events…Thats it! That’s how ‘safe’ this scent is!

I didn’t expect Montale to do this.
I like the top notes a lot: citrus galore.
But then on my skin-let’s say after half an hour-turns to an unmistakably girlish smell of fruity bubblegum. With some fizzy sugary stuff inside.
I can’t say Montale is famous for using natural ingredients, but this one goes beyond chemical description.
Might have been a very successful release from some cheap scents selling company.
No wonder people who buy Dolce e Gabbana’s olfactive horrors like this one as well.
(Colin Maillard is never wrong!)

Very nice citrus scent. Great for summer.
Xeroxmhtic – :
This remind of that kenzo fragrance can’t remember what it was.Anyway very citrusy almost like candied citrus with a cherry vibe like lip gloss flavored. Great for warm weather sunny day.Haven’t gotten a full wearing. Will update soon.

A niche version of Light Blue. Seriously! While I like both, I don’t know which of these I would buy since D&G is so well sold and can be found at half price at major department stores during sale periods and Montale is a bit more expensive. This is a safe blind buy if you like Light Blue.
I have Mancera wild fruits and I see absolutely no similarity between these two. I was afraid they would be very close and did not purchase. Now I see that they are different.
Similar scent is Atelier Cologne Cedar Atlas.
temp2010 – :
Heavily sugared Mediterranean floral. Very fresh and inspiring at first. The composition is almost like a complexified version of the style Neroli Portofino Acqua is composed in, only replacing the legendary neroli for a lighter, hazier white floral arrangement.
Unfortunately, as nice as it starts out, it quickly gets boring (lacking a strong base), thus effectively reducing its wearability to the style of classic Italian cologne (which was only intended to be worn for the duration of a few hours while out running errands). It could be decant worthy at most imo, but even then I think it would end up being a rare grab for a very high-spirited day.
ahamilgton – :
Inoffensive, and pleasant but for the Montale price its not too original, its similar to light blue but more lasting and sweeter.10/7
kotenochek121 – :
Similar to Light Blue. The top is a sweeter citrus mix and I like it better, in fact I really like it, but the drydown is just as screechy.
leor – :
Wow… I really like this.. kind of fruity.. reminds me of those red//white/blue ice cream pops a little bit. The dry down is really nice. Definitely worth checking out!

Love,love, love!! I think I found a new perfume! Been searching for this for some time.i love D&G Light Blue, but it turns horribly bitter on me after 15 minutes and quickly disappears within 30. This fragrance smells very similar, without the bitterness. It smells like a mellow sweet version of light blue. I have been wearing it for 7 hours now and it is still going strong. For those of you who have trouble wearing citrus perfumes, give this one a try. Michael at Bloomingdales at Beverly Center turned me onto this. Great choice!!!
lovaborbsog – :
I love how the sourish grapefruit and kumquat keep this from being too sweet, the white flowers keep it fresh, and the musk and spice give it just a bit of grounding and mystery. I really don’t get the haters for this one.

There are so many bad reviews for Montales, but I kind of take them with a grain of salt. There are fakes out there, and its true that some Montales these days are thinner and simpler in the dry down than they used to be. I like them because they are easy to decipher and often smell good, for a long time. And if you care to explore, they have their charms. This one starts out with a bit of a salon shampoo/ expensive hair product smell that blooms into mimosa with a feel of honey, pollen, and something a little bit green. Close up it reminds me of the smell of little yellow wildflowers in the summertime, maybe marigolds too. This is created via the citruses so it may be skin chemistry dependent. It’s really quite a remarkable scent although within five hours I can no longer smell it.
It’s a pleasant smell in the 88 degree Los Angeles heat. I would wear it if I owned it.
himl666 – :
Unusually boring and plain for Montale. I expected some powerful bitter citruis blended with intoxicating white flowers on kick-butt animalistic musk base. Instead we have a well-made scent for summer that does not bother you, pleases you but upon finishing a bottle you would not even remember its name. Usual, normal. Probably is appealing to many wearers. I do not see it as a unisex. I have 20 ml and it probably will last me for ages due to seldom use.
Андрей81 – :
Smells like a slightly more spicy version of Lalique White. However, the quality is much better. Lalique White gives me a headache and it does this weird thing where you smell it one minute, then you cant smell it for a while, and then you suddenly get whifs of it again. Soleil de Capri gave me a similar fragrance that I enjoy, but without the headache and weird behavior.
Also, for what its worth, I wore this tonight and received a compliment from a friend of mine who is IMPOSSIBLE to please when it comes to fragrances. He flat out tells me he hates ALL of my colognes….all 30ish of them, which I have worn at different points in time when hanging out with him. Tonight he got in my car and said “mmm, it smells nice in here. Is that a cologne”? So, considering this, it improved my liking for this fragrance, since it smelled nice to someone who hates everything else I own.
This fragrance is the PERFECT amount of citrus and the top notes last a very long time. Its almost a spicy lemon/lime scent. Its a great play it safe, people pleaser for summer.

This is amazingly good, I love it. Reminds me of D&G’s Light Blue, the new edition of Light Blue, Love in Capri and Kenzo’s Jeune Yellow.
All the good things.
It’s citrusy and white floral in a modest lemonade or lemon candy kind of way.
So fresh and nice, I really like to think of warm weather and sunny beach, when I smell it.
This is my most favorite scent by Montale.
It’s just perfection! A new one for my wish list.
vercop – :
A nice non zingy sweet citrusy summer fragrance. I do love citrus fragrances but they do need a bit of pep. This a sweet dumbed down citrus. You wouldnt feel refreshed if you spritzed this on. Moderate sillage and longevity which isnt bad for a citrus dominated fragrances.
vovchik_volk – :
Fantastic! Could eat it 😉
bujh – :
I find this a very inspiring fragrance and the name suits to it perfectly. It’s very floral and fruity… a summer sunset in a bottle. An unusual creation by Montale, but a solid one. A good choice for the summer.
zyzyzy – :
This starts pretty nice with some bright lemony citrus and a touch of mandarin-sweetness but then an odd buttery-creamy note appears that imo turns me off,, as delicious as the description may sound!
But if you think about it, butter and citrus (lemon/orange) fruits + savoury butter is a pretty odd mix. I think just adding a bold vanilla instead, or a rich amber would have added more more richness and better complimented the fragrance. It’s also much lacking without any sort of woodsy addition,,
I think also; maybe Lily of the Valley would have been a much more appropriate floral, both clean, rich yet ‘fresh transparent’ airy.
In the end it’s a soft, fruity buttery musk that first appears a nice idea but sadly could have been much better if a few standard ingredients like woods and vanilla were used instead bcasue the initial lemony/organey brightness is very pleasing but unbalanced with the ‘wrong’ richness of florals instead of more fitting ‘desserty’ vanilla.
For comparison, Creed’s Jardin d’Amalfi is a better done option by some way, if much,, much pricier, so I’m unsure which one to recommend here!
Scent: 5/10.
Quality: 8/10.

On one hand I have Soleil de Capri and on the other I sprayed Midnight Rain from La Prairie. On my skin it’s almost impossible to tell them apart. Maybe, just maybe is Midnight Rain a bit stronger or sweeter. I adore Midnight Rain, so I could say that Soleil from Montale is a perfume worth buying.
Deroxmxmjn – :
perfect blue scent for me. It reminds me to light blue from D&G indeed, but more creamy and floral. Longivity is great and perfect for summertime.
greefrelog – :
Very similar to Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana. But a little brighter and less lemony.
Che_Che – :
Kumquat, flowers and some spices.
It’s more floral than citrus and yet the kumquat and grapefruit are there.
It’s nice but it feels as if the citrus and the flowers are clashing constantly as to see which one will be the dominant.
I don’t know if the name “Capri” sits well on this fragrance. Something in this composition gives me a “mature” type of vibe.
I was expecting something light, more airy and citrus.
agf2007 – :
Maison Francis Kurkdjian snuck a ‘test batch’ of Acqua Universalis Forte into Montale’s line-up. Sumptuous and slightly creamy white flowers and gentle yellow citrus provide a bright and uplifting opening. And…. and….it takes us down a straight and narrow road remaining quite linear with just a touch of spice and clean white musk in the drydown. I agree with Cake n’ Cuddles, the citrus needs some sparkle to make this truly interesting. Soleil de Capri is just flirty enough to be loveable yet stops short at ‘like.’
Score for a guy 5/10 for a woman 6.5/10
Projection and sillage are good, longevity is great, higher score given for women because the white florals make this traditionally feminine versus masculine.
iskaarere – :
Very fresh, citric, unisex fragrance, but perfect for hot weather or working out as it gives a refreshing, energetic vibe without getting too sour or unpleasant. I especially like it for summer.
Azmodes – :
Strangely and totally unexpectedly my most complimented perfume along with Hermes eau de Merveilles! Has something smoky that makes it really sensual!
танюшка7777777 – :
Just tried a sample of this directly from Montale. It is very fresh and clean smelling. I can’t tell one note from the other. Basically, it’s very pretty and nice. Unique also and long lasting. I’m sure there will be many loving this fragrance, if they give it a try. Citrus and floral sums it up pretty much. Summertime fragrance for sure. Too floral for me.
несносный – :
This citrusy fragrance reminds Light Blue by Dolce&Gabbana a lot, only Light Blue is much more interesting.
Nothing special(
budrinchik – :
When I first tried this on paper I was really amazed by its freshness, it was kinda unique to me, and it’s not easy when you talk about fresh scents. It reminded me of fresh tomatoes with oilve-oil on a sun-roof in the Capri bay, really. It was totally evocating, but then I decided to try it on my skin and what came out was an orrible “lemon-cake-just-took-out-from-the-hoven” that was really unaffordable. Sweet toasted candies, warm and sticky. No Way!
Rating: 3/10
AstereHed – :
At first, I sensed citruses, spices, and tea, but after a while, the sharpness of the scent got to me, and I had to wash it off. Honestly, it reminds me of Vivienne Westwood – Libertine without the leather note. Maybe I prefer Libertine because of the leather.
This one has amazing longevity. I scrubbed it off with soap and hot water, and it’s still on my wrist, emerging from beneath another fragrance I used to try to cover it up!
RAMZES – :
Similar to Light blue D&G.
karlito – :
I have a sample of this and love it. It smells like very freshly brewed tea that has been iced. Although that is not in it’s notes, that is what it smells like to me. Very invigourating and long lasting.
Staffa – :
This one strays a bit from the Montale line.
Its very fresh and you could not identify it as a Montale without seeing the label.
You can use it in summertime on its own, or you can combine it with other Montale fragrance to make it lighter and fresher. With my beloved Red Auod for instance, its makes it more wearable for office use.
