Sospiro Perfumes 2014 EDP
Opera
Sospiro Perfumes Opera is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Chris Maurice. Opera opens with Fruity Notes and Rose, settles into a heart of Leather, Ylang-Ylang, Nutmeg, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Sospiro Perfumes's Opera carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.
Opera is a full-bodied, complex composition that's divisive, to say the least. Some find it a magnificent, luxurious masterpiece, others a synthetic, cloying mess reminiscent of cheap hairspray. This one's truly a 'love it or hate it' affair.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, often described as 'beast mode', make it unsuitable for an office environment. However, this powerful presence makes Opera an excellent choice for special occasions and cooler evening dates, where its luxurious and bold character can truly shine. Casual wear might be too much for some, but it depends on confidence.
