Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sole di Positano
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - West Indian Limes
This one is a divisive lime bomb. Some people love its potent, zingy realism, praising it as a superior vintage lime. Others find it synthetic, too sweet, and wish it stuck around longer. If you're after a singular, powerful hit of lime, this might be your jam, but temper your expectations regarding subtlety and longevity.

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.

West Indian Limes

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its bold, zesty lime character and mixed performance reviews - some find it strong, others fleeting - make it best suited for casual wear and outdoor activities. It might be too intense and potentially distracting for an office environment, and perhaps a touch too informal for a strict formal event.
