About

Operanide is an IFF woody-amber captive. It smells of soft amber over creamy cedar-like wood, with a powdery lift and a light gourmand sweetness.

Scent Profile

Operanide smells of soft amber, dry rather than sharp. A creamy, cedar like wood sits close behind it, giving it a rounded softness. A powdery lift runs through it, distinct from the sharper woody ambers. A light gourmand sweetness shows at the edges, closer to dark vanilla than to sugar.
