Quick answer: Mykonos Sorrento is a moderate citrus extrait de parfum built on fizzy grapefruit, with ginger and neroli over a light cedar and musk base. It is a summer scent that works for daily wear and the office.
Sorrento is the scent of a cold drink on a hot terrace. Its signature is sparkling grapefruit, running through every layer of the perfume from the first spray to the drydown. It is bright, fizzy and energetic, with a soft, powdery finish that makes it feel more refined than a typical sport citrus. Here is how it wears.
What Mykonos Sorrento smells like
The opening is effervescent: fizzy grapefruit, bergamot and mandarin, with ginger for a little heat and a touch of magnolia.
The heart keeps the grapefruit going and adds neroli, more ginger, powdery notes and a watery accord. This is where Sorrento starts to soften; the powdery notes give it a clean, cosmetic smoothness.
The base still carries grapefruit, now with amber, musk, cedar, patchouli and orris root. Orris is powdery and slightly earthy, and it gives Sorrento a finish that is soft rather than sharp.

Longevity and projection
Sorrento is an extrait de parfum rated Moderate on our intensity scale. Grapefruit is naturally a quick-evaporating note, but because it is built into every layer here, the citrus character holds longer than you might expect. The amber and orris base keeps a soft trace on skin. For the freshest result, spray after a shower on still-damp skin.

We list Sorrento for summer, for daily wear, work and evenings. It is at its absolute best on hot days, when the fizzy grapefruit feels genuinely refreshing. It works for the office too, thanks to its clean powdery finish. In winter, a warmer citrus like Conquer is a better fit.
