Description
Vince Camuto launches the third fragrance for men, after the original Vince Camuto for Men from 2012 and Vince Camuto Homme from 2014. VINCE CAMUTO SOLARE is aimed at men who are searching for an oriental-woody fragrance with character, refreshed with sweet, juicy mandarins. The house of Vince Camuto recommends to start a day “with a way of freshness of the fragrance Vince Camuto Solare.” The new fragrance arrives in an orange flacon of the same form as previous editions, following the theme of vitality and creativity. The fragrance is prominent, intense, seductive and dedicated to confident men.
Top notes of the fragrance Vince Camuto Solare refresh us with mandarin zest splashing spicy accords of cardamom, while the sensual embrace originates from musk combined with warm cashmere wood. The fragrance is available as 50 ml and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.
Vince Camuto Solare was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Claude Dir.

Solare served its purpose for me. It’s a nice, but inoffensive orange based summer time scent. I often wore it to work and it garnered some compliments, but nothing extraordinary. This makes a decent gift and lasts a while.
Scent: orange, light musk, and synthetic woods. Orange is 80% of this scent.
Performance: average for an edt. 3-4 hours of decent behavior. Does well in the heat.
Season: summer and spring.
2.5/5

As this stuff wore on, I really started to warm to it. Vince Camuto is not a brand I’m familiar with and having tried a few of the mens line I’d say they don’t have anything particularly original or standout. I liked the warm, slightly powdered, musky, woods in the base underneath a happy, light hearted citrus and mandarin orange note. Clean and warm creating a lovely soft skin scent but it is just that a not very good performer. I liked the drydown the best though and if I saw this cheap I might buy as an inoffensive clean and functional scent.

I was given a 15 mL bottle by the salesperson while looking around. On paper, I liked the woodsy-spicy scent it had.
When I tried it, it opened with a strong citrus scent that immediately got dominated by medicinal wood, which I really liked. After maybe 20 minutes, I got warm candied orange. Soon it became a a nice woody orange.
Performance is not very good, but I still liked it. I wished the top note lasted more or the bottom note have projected better. It became a skin scent rather quickly. There is a hint of synthetic at the bottom that I don’t mind taken out.
There are few occasions I could think of wearing this. It’s too orangey. It definitely is for a person who loves oranges, likes to wear orange or for a young kid. I think I can gift this to a 12 year old boy.
It’s warm and saccharine — and a little happy. It’s great to maybe have, but won’t reach for it as much as others.

My Husband owns this, and when I smelled the cap on the bottle, it was an Aaaaaaah, YUM, this smells so good. I defiantly associate this with the warmth of my wonderful Husband, so I’ll do my best to give an honest critique.
The top is a nice zesty orange. It dries down into a warm spicy woody citrus. It smells very warm and inviting. Its very rich smelling for such a small amount of notes. This isn’t so much for a man on the prowl, more a Patriarch that is confident and happy. For me as a Woman I love smelling this on my Husband when we embrace. It makes me feel taken care of and safe. On a side note I think the bottle is very pretty with the silver offset by the orange leather. Good Stuff! I’m kind of confused by the mixed/unhappy reviews.

The opening is quite nice but the drydown left me unimpressed. There are better orange-based fragrances out there for sure. I personally would go with one of the Terre d’ Hermes frags, Atelier Orange Sanguine or Chanel Allure Homme Sport instead.

–This is quite a nice, fresh, smooth fragrance. I would compare to a nice orange gelato. The opening is a not-too sweet tangerine or clementine. It has a hint of citrus but well balanced with the sweet tangerine and the spice from the cardamom. I could not notice the pimento.That only lasts about 15 minutes and then the cashmere wood and musk start to appear and it is just cozy, creamy and quite luxurious, I must say.
–By the 30 mins mark, it becomes a skin scent and you will be hard pressed to smell it after 1 hr.
–I go about 10 sprays and after 1 hour, I can’t even detect it on my wrists. Seriously, completely gone!!
–As for the scent, I can say that it is very unique, well-blended, very pleasing. I don’t have anything like that in my small collection.
–Longevity & Sillage: that’s where it is a complete letdown. If you are planning on purchasing this, I beg you to just move on; skip it; save your money.
–Although it is a nice scent, I regret buying it because it does not last past 1 hr. even after 10-15 sprays. I am not kidding you!. TOTAL BLIND BUY REGRET/REMORSE, whichever you fancy!

TOILET BOWL CLEANER, AT BEST.
Feserooceeste – :
Generic and boring and not what I expected at all. This reminds me of something that I might find in either Ross or TJMaxx. It’s not offensive, but something to make you go meh.
lizzza – :
Smells like skittles or fruity pebbles but its masculine still. I like it a lot. #sweetjones
lmj501elipseskism – :
An exceptional ORANGE type fragrance which is well done…not a beast but definitely not a lion cub either….id say its like a stallion…beautiful orange essence smell with other accords…it is a fragrance which lasts about 3 to 5hrs…longer on clothing…projects early in life but will leave you smelling amazing close up…a mild elegant lovely modest scent…8.6/1O SILAGE/LONGEVITY 7.O/1O IMHO ofcoarse!! goodday to you all !!!

A light version of Ultra zest! If UZ is to strong for you then go for this one. Smells wonderful! Like a orange cream cicle but not so sweet that it makes you sick. Along the lines of polo red as well. Plus the bottle looks better and a better price!
SpN – :
I work at a Perfumania and we just recently got this fragrance and 9 out of 10 guys/girls have loved this fragrance. It smells amazing when you actually put it on and is our number 1 best seller almost company wide. All Vince Camuto fragrances are killing it!
Smell 9/10
Longevity 8/10

This is what Clinique Happy should have always been but never will be….
Soooo good on the skin. Scent strips do not do this one justice for sure!
Most mens citruses are lemon or lime. This is much different from the typical path.

This smells like the old orange flavored cough syrup that was around when I was kid. Not really a must have for me, but if you can get over the orange creamsicle smell (as a post before me mentioned) I guess it would be good in very warm weather.
Headcrusher – :
Best orange creamsicle cologne out. This is my strongest projecting summer fragrance I get a good 10 hours on my skin and a solid 6/8 hours of good projection. I prefer this over Ultra zest and I get tons of compliments. one thing to keep in mind it only works in the summer in high heat at least for me on my skin. it doesn’t project or last long at all on my skin if the temperature drops less than 70 degrees outside for whatever reason but great for an all-day or all-night summer fragrance. This is the orange creamsicle version of allure homme sport extreme
Sent: 10/10
Projection: 8.5/10
Longevity: 10/10
Rating were based on summer use of this fragrance.

I received this as one of my samples from Debonair Scent.
I have since cancelled my subscription.
That is all I have to say about this cologne.
See above and below and ignore any review that seems at all positive.

I’ve smelled test strips twice and sampled on skin once.
I get a pleasant fabric softener dryer sheet vibe with a zesty sweet orange scent that reminds me of those gummy orange wedges coated in sugar, but softened by the clean musk giving it that fabric softener character.
Projection and longevity seem moderate.
End result, I like it, but it hasn’t impressed me enough to consider it a must have. I have many other scents I think I would wear over this.

It’s like a Spanish fiesta in full bloom, with the music turned too loud for that time of day
Ethishscieced – :
I just bought this one and trying it for the fist time. It has a sort of loud and long lasting opening, after one hour I am still smelling the opening notes, but is starting to change.. It got noticed by my coworker almost right on, I will need to put an update of how it performs along the day.
But at first sniff I like it, although is not one of those nose catching essences that you will remember regardless. But lets see, to be continued…
Update 08/18/16
I am wearing it today as I am wearing some orange shirt too and I slightly sprayed some on my shirt and I think it will work better for longevity, I was told right away: “I can smell you” in pleasant way when I got to work 🙂

Serge00271 hit the nail right on the head with his/her review below, leaving me with not much to add on my review. However, if I could contribute anything, I would simply say add a few dollars to what you would have spent on this fragrance, and buy something else. This fragrance is easily forgettable, and will be immediately demoted to the errands/around the house/weekend fragrance.

I gave this some time before I would write a review hoping it would change my opinion, but it is time. This opens with one of the best top note combinations of a spicy mandarin and is the reason I bought it. It is like heaven but it quickly loses it’s magic and turns into something average at best. The Pimento comes through after a few minutes and is the only thing good I can say about this. VC fragrances always seem to have a rather complicated make up. I still wear it from time to time, but it can easily be knocked to under the sink with all the other duds. Overall, I can’t say I like it or hate it. It has its moments but honestly, a bit disappointed.
prernepaype – :
Overall it’s a decent fragrance. Unfortunately it is about as generic as it gets but it’s also one of those fragrances that will get you a compliment or two.
Overall, if 5/10 is average, I would give it a 6/10.
bushmakin – :
A creamy desert feeling when I smelled this. Small hints of pepper and dry woodsy notes. Not cloying at all. Definitely an attention getter but in a good way. Very unique with creamy notes too but it doesn’t give a greasy feel like I get with lotiony scents. A must try. 7.8/10
hunter2111 – :
The bright bottle caught my attention when I saw it for the first time; the name is great too. I immediately thought it would be an energetic & zesty take on the original, but unfortunately it doesn’t have the pop I was hoping for. The pimento pepper comes through a bit but ultimately it all washes out into a soft/plain smell like VC Homme.
In fairness, the other two versions are casual and safe so this complements them. Perhaps I got my hopes up, though I wonder why not be more bold?
rinat007 – :
Tried this a month ago, it remind me of Ultra Zest by Mugler, its not as vibrant, but take away the ginger and mint in Ultra Zest, same concept. Mugler is much better and a little more exspensive. Its bottle worthy though!!
