Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sole di Positano EDP
A bright, summery Tom Ford, let down by a performance that has many questioning the price tag. Expect a beautiful white floral citrus that, for most, vanishes quicker than an Italian summer holiday.

Our Verdict - Pole Position EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tom Ford Sole Di Positano - a citrus fragrance led by Petitgrain, Calabrian Bergamot, Lemon, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sole di Positano

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

This is a wonderfully versatile fresh scent for casual outings and warmer weather, where its light projection is a benefit. Its fleeting nature and bright character make it less ideal for formal events or the focused office environment, but it would be lovely on a daytime date.

Pole Position

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
