The Citrusy Sister

Hello BR540, nice to smell you. Oops, I just mixed you up! Well, it doesn’t matter, it all stays in the family! I belong to the victims (or the fortunate ones?) who can hardly perceive BR540. All the more I am delighted by this fragrance - I can smell it, and how!!
This one has a distinctly citrusy fruitiness that is initially quite captivating, slightly synthetic, but fades away quickly. Jasmine, cashmere wood, and vanilla take over, and the scent becomes floral-sweet and spicy-creamy. The O-flower is rather in the background. The citrus notes remain present throughout. Towards the base, Calar del Sole becomes increasingly similar to BR540, but with citrus splashes. BR540 feels very "airy" to me, floating, while Calar is a bit denser, more compact.

Calar del Sole is for me the wonderful chameleon with a clear scent development that BR540 lacks. Calar del Sole is suitable for all seasons, and I would even claim, for every occasion and every gender. With its citrus notes, it covers spring and warmer temperatures well without being intrusive, while for autumn and winter, it offers its spicy-sweet woody base. Calar del Sole feels to me like a mix of my signature Aqua Universalis Forte and Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum.

If you don’t like the saffron in BR540, you might have found the perfect alternative fragrance here. I also speculate that fans of "Aura Sublime | Bijon", Dulcis in Fundo, or "Les Royales Exclusives - Sublime Vanille | Creed" might find pleasure in Calar del Sole.

I have tried the entire sample range from ArteOlfatto. This one is one of the best creations from the brand, alongside Habano Vanilla.

Should-Be Comparison (A lemon gelato/ sunk deep in the heart of a city/ while another summer passes)

When a company boasts in its name that it produces not just perfume but a luxury good, even fragrant art, one might be inclined to be skeptical. If a fragrance from this company is marketed as a vacation in Italy in a bottle, it can be assumed that it targets a clientele whose expectations for a fragrance - just like those for a vacation - are primarily focused on comfort and relaxation. There is nothing wrong with that. However, it is probably not to be expected that such a fragrance will trigger an epiphany, grant unforeseen olfactory experiences, or provide memorable encounters. Accordingly, this uninvited guest, this side dish, this stowaway has been sitting in a drawer for a year and, to be honest, has never tempted me to give it a more thorough test. So why now?

Because there are still a few days of vacation left, during which one sometimes seeks more than just a feel-good program and relaxation, and prefers to face a few interesting challenges - in this case, the challenge of perhaps finally finding an access point to this fragrance. Because summer is coming to an end, but it still wants to show its beautiful side one last time. Because the days are noticeably getting shorter again and autumn is approaching, and because it is time to gather sunbeams for the cold, dark winter days, dear little mouse faces! “Calar del Sole” - sunset, the name fits. And who knows, maybe it is indeed just right for that. It’s worth a try; I want to give it a chance.

So I climb onto a large stone in the garden, enjoy the sun, close my eyes, and attempt to mentally transport myself to the Amalfi Coast in anticipation. No doubt, there is much to discover: myrtle, rockrose, mastic, figs, pines, cypresses, broom, …ah! Then I spray and smell - citrus. Well, that fits somehow: lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, … But this is not a citrus grove; it lingers somewhere in the gastronomic realm, on the dessert menu or right in the ice cream parlor. “Gelati al Limon” - without Paolo Conte's rasping voice, however, it is only half as enticing. The occasionally forced comparisons to lemon cookies are accurate here; they smell just as sweet and creamy. And the whole thing is a bit too heavy. The flowers, the so-called woods, vanilla musk. A citrus summer fragrance should be light and transparent, I think. Here it is already quite oppressive and muggy. It’s a shame that this vision of the Amalfi Coast is exhausted in the citrus gourmand and doesn’t even make an effort to scent itself a bit in the hinterland. Even the sea has been left out. Although there would have been exciting ingredients there that could have made things a bit more varied - the salt in the soup.

Calar del Sole. And so I wait for this sun to finally set, but it doesn’t seem to want to. Southern Italy is almost in the tropics; it should actually happen faster. But no, this sunset is dragging on. Yet that would also be a grateful theme for a fragrance progression: from the still fresh day to a true fireworks display of vibrant colors and finally to an ever gentler glow that eventually fades away. But here it still feels like a hot afternoon, and I am still sitting in the ice cream parlor. The lemon has indeed vanished, but the cream remains stubbornly noticeable, now even heavier.

Then, as if on cue, this heaviness discharges in a first flash. Thunder rumbles. I open my eyes and see that dark clouds have gathered. But I am no longer on the Amalfi Coast; I am back in my own garden. The first thick drops burst on the stone. I let myself be washed clean and enjoy the smell of petrichor. As the thunderstorm - deus ex machina - passes, I turn to the herb bed and gather a few scent impressions for winter: rosemary, immortelle, juniper, lavender, … And so I still enjoy my Italian sunset.

It’s a bit like in real life: Too high expectations of luxury have rarely inspired truly great art.

A Walk to the Amalfi Coast

You stroll through small bright streets, passing countless fragrant lemon trees. The sunny day is slowly coming to an end, a warm breeze caresses your skin. The fresh scent of lemons gently merges with the dry woods, delicate flowers, and the sun, which bathes everything around you in a sweet, warm light. You feel like you're on clouds, velvety soft and light. Arriving at the rocky coast, you gaze down at the vast sea, the citrus notes still lingering in your nose. Surrounded by a sweet warmth, you enjoy the sunset - “Calar del Sole”.

Visually, it appears to me like sunlight captured in a high-quality bottle. A fresh, light, yet warm fragrance - juicy lemon, after a while enveloped by pleasantly sweet vanilla, with gentle flowers and woods in the background. Truly long-lasting, yet never overpowering.
Perfect for warmer days.

Summer Love 2.0

Love at the second sniff. I had tested this fragrance in the store when I was looking for a non-sweet and non-floral summer scent. After spraying it, my nose was greeted with wonderful citrus notes, not sharp at all, but simply round and pleasant.
I was disappointed because these top notes faded away after just a few minutes, and I could only smell woody notes and musk. Probably due to my different expectation (longer lasting citrus notes), I found the scent unpleasant.

But on the second chance, I fell in love
Although the fantastic top notes still disappear way too quickly, what comes next I really like now. It becomes a warm, woody little fragrance that tells of the Mediterranean and simply lifts my spirits. To me, it hardly smells bitter, but rather warm and cozy, without being sweet. Great!
And the longevity is outstanding! It easily lasts 12 hours on me.

Update:
After I initially couldn't understand at all why people compare Calar del Sole with "Baccarat Rouge 540 (Extrait de Parfum) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian," I can now smell 'it' too. I don't know why, because the scent notes are completely different, but it really has a Baccarat vibe.

Love at First Scent

This fragrance enchanted me upon first contact with my skin.
A sweet - citrusy opening that becomes warmer and more inviting on the skin. A warm, cozy embrace. For me, the scent has a slightly powdery quality. And yes, after smelling it twice, the phrase came to mind: "I know you... you remind me of something..."
For me, it is a relative of Baccarat, but somehow more embracing. Simply incredibly beautiful. Additionally, it has really very good longevity on my skin, and the sillage is also top-notch. Perhaps not suitable for the really hot summer days, but otherwise, it's a fragrance that works anytime.
