Nettare di Sole opens with a bright orange blossom and bergamot. There are slight floral nuances, which come forward a bit more during the wear.

It lists ‘solar notes’, which I have to say in this case feels like a pretty basic, musky overlay. It’s very zesty and bright, almost sharp and metallic. After a while I do get a sweetness, a creamy one, but more so one from orange blossom and jasmine, without really getting the honey.

It smells very pleasant, but it didn’t blow me away in any way.
