Bvlgari Opalon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Opalon opens with Neroli and Ginger, settles into a heart of Lemongrass and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambergris. Bvlgari's Opalon carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A seriously underestimated gem that’s sadly been discontinued. This clean, fresh take on neroli is pure class, elevated by a sophisticated musk and ambergris dry-down. If you can get your hands on it, you're in for a treat that outclasses many of its contemporaries.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Opalon unfurls with a bright, zingy burst of neroli and spicy ginger, giving it an invigorating but composed opening. This quickly settles into a refined heart of aromatic lemongrass and subtle geranium. The true magic unfolds in the base, where a beautifully clean white musk blends seamlessly with earthy ambergris, creating a sophisticated skin scent that's both substantial and ethereal. It's a fresh, spicy, and musky journey with understated elegance.
