How do their notes compare?

For DUA Soul of Amalfi, useful notes to follow include Calabrian bergamot, Lily of the Valley, Mandarin Orange, Orange Blossom, Bitter Orange and Amalfi Lemon. Tom Ford Sole di Positano lists Bitter Orange, Mandarin Orange, Calabrian bergamot, Petitgrain, Lemon and Neroli among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the neroli with the citrus after the first spray. Notice how much the greener shiso and moss change that fresh impression.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA Soul of Amalfi gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Tom Ford Sole di Positano is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing. If you are unsure about the sweeter or woodier side, try a sample first.
