CreamyWhat does Opera smell like?
It opens with fruity notes and Turkish rose. In the heart, ylang-ylang, leather, nutmeg and ambergris join in, so the floral sweetness meets a leathery, spicy warmth. At the base, Haitian vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood, musk and vanilla settle it into a woody, powdery, creamy finish.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings. Voters lean towards feminine, though a good share call it masculine. Sospiro Opera Grande and Maison Alhambra Opus Noir have a close profile.
