Lovely gourmand blend - citrus, sweet, creamy, tart, fresh
22 Shades of Dolce Solaris is a Dua tribrid (inspired by a blend of Le Labo Bergamote 22 as well as Profumum Roma Dulcis in Fundo & Acqua Viva), still the only tribrid that I own to this day, so clearly my favorite, and one of my favorite releases of 2020. It’s a fittingly fresh, sweet, tart, and slightly creamy blend of citruses and vanilla, primarily, capturing some of the extremes but landing in an interesting middle space. And with great performance, it’s a great option for gourmand lovers, and a fragrance that I like to wear when I want something to perform well in the heat, though I’m sure the vanilla might be overwhelming for some on a hot day. Among the three inspirations that contribute, I’d say that Dulcis in Fundo is most prominent, balancing out the relative tartness of Bergamote 22 and Acqua Viva, but the result is very balance in terms of sweet vs. tart, with some of the creaminess of Dulcis in Fundo being part of the mix, as well.
