Soleil de Capri by Montale is a bright citrus scent built on kumquat, grapefruit and other citrus fruit. White flowers move in through the middle, adding a soft floral lift, before a base of warm spices and musk brings it back down to earth. Released in 2007, women wear it most often, drawn to a citrus scent that stays fresh rather than sweet. Voters keep it for summer, worn by day, and it works well for the office. Most wearers vote its longevity moderate, and the sillage vote is also clearly moderate. A 3ml decant carries you through a run of hot days before you choose a bigger size.

The community verdict
White flowers give Soleil de Capri its fresh floral centre, after an opening of kumquat, grapefruit and citrus; musk and spices follow. Most find its staying power and projection moderate, though some get longer wear or stronger reach. It feels at home on summer days, but the citrus can seem sharp.

The house
More from Montale
Montale was founded in France in 2003 by Pierre Montale, who built the house around oud paired with rose and bottled it in his trademark aluminium flacons. Oud is still part of the story, but the range here runs mostly sweet and warm: amber, vanilla and musk, with coffee, caramel and tonka bean for richness and saffron for heat. Intense Cafe is the first one to know, rose and coffee over vanilla. Chocolate Greedy is a spiced cacao treat, and Arabians Tonka is a dense, sugary amber. Black Aoud goes back to the roots with rose, oud and patchouli.
