The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
Longevity on skin

Come Il Sole price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €139. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Jil Sander Sun but less than Tom Ford Bitter Peach and Clive Christian Noble Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber.
