Xerjoff Levar del Sole vs Torino 24

Both are from the same house, both fruity and both often overlooked next to Naxos and Erba Pura. The difference you don't see on the shelf is the price per millilitre: Torino 24 costs €195 for 50 ml, Levar del Sole €275 for 100 ml. So the smaller bottle is 42% more expensive than the bigger one, even though it looks cheaper.

Torino 24 is more tropical and brighter: mango, mandarin and plum up top, orange blossom with lotus and styrax in the heart, white musk and moss underneath. Levar del Sole starts similarly fruity — apple, lemon and orange — but ends elsewhere: caramel, tonka, benzoin and patchouli give it a warm, almost gourmand base that Torino 24 doesn't have. So Torino 24 is a summer fragrance, Levar del Sole a transitional one, for spring and autumn. The price underlines the difference: at €40 for ten millilitres Levar del Sole is cheaper, which is unusual for a fragrance that lasts longer and has a denser base. If you choose by value, the choice is clear; if you choose by weather, it isn't.

Which is more summery?

Torino 24. Mango, mandarin and white musk are lighter and don't gain weight in the heat. Levar del Sole has caramel and tonka in the base, which intensify on warm skin.

Why is the smaller bottle more expensive per millilitre?

Because Xerjoff doesn't set prices in proportion to volume. Torino 24 in 50 ml costs €3.90 per millilitre, Levar del Sole in 100 ml €2.75 per millilitre. On the shelf it looks the other way round, so converting to per millilitre is the only fair way to compare.

Are they suitable for men?

Levar del Sole is listed as feminine in our database, Torino 24 as unisex. By their notes neither is distinctly feminine — both stand on fruit and musk, which in modern perfumery is a gender-neutral combination.

Which should I take if I want only one?

Levar del Sole, if you want a fragrance for several seasons and better value for money. Torino 24, if you want distinctly summery, tropical fruit and the smaller bottle doesn't bother you.
