Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opera EDP
Xerjoff Opera is a polarising beast, a 'love it or hate it' scent that commands attention. Expect nuclear projection and a divisive, confident aura. If you want something unique that isn't afraid to be extra, this is it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Harmony Opera EDP
A refined take on Xerjoff Opera's woody floral musk - fruity Turkish rose over ylang, leather and amber on a powdery cedar-vetiver base. Perfume Parlour captures the mature, lipstick-powdery elegance but lands a little flatter, with the original's 10-hour-plus performance trimmed.

With its beast-mode performance and strong sillage, Opera is far too assertive for the office or casual wear. It's perfectly suited for formal events and date nights where its opulent, dramatic character can truly shine.
