by Luciano Soprani
Solo Soprani is a fresh, clean-scented fragrance with a crisp citrus and aromatic top that evolves into a subtly floral and slightly soapy heart. The nose picks up on bright bergamot, lemon, and violet, transitioning through cardamom, jasmine, and lavender, before settling into a warm, woody base of amber, cedar, and tonka bean. It carries a distinctive but restrained ozonic quality that gives it a refreshing, almost hygienic feel, reminiscent of a well-cleaned space such as a church sacristy or a sunlit Mediterranean room. The scent is notably light and unobtrusive, with moderate sillage and moderate longevity—best suited for daytime wear during spring and summer. While the fragrance is often compared to CK One for its clean profile, it is considered slightly warmer and more soapy than that iconic scent, with better longevity than CK One despite a slightly less cool or aquatic character. The perfume is viewed as a nuanced, wellness-oriented expression of freshness, ideal for those seeking a minimalist, calming scent without overwhelming presence.
