Opera

by Chris Maurice

Sospiro Perfumes Opera is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Chris Maurice. Opera opens with Rose and Fruity, settles into a heart of Leather, Ylang-Ylang, Ambergris, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Musk, and Cedar. 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.

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.

About

Opens with a burst of sweet fruits and delicate rose, a juicy prelude that quickly deepens. The heart introduces a rich, animalic leather alongside creamy ylang-ylang and warm ambergris, spiced with a hint of nutmeg. The dry down is a powerful embrace of woody notes - vetiver and cedar - grounding the fragrance with earthy patchouli, while vanilla and musk add a soft, lingering sweetness.
