A precise move with heart, strategy meets sensuality
Opera Mate opens with a warm, slightly nutty sweetness, immediately reminiscent of roasted chestnuts and dark rum. Even in the first few seconds, this special balance becomes apparent, as if someone were making a perfectly considered move on the chessboard, calm, deliberate, but with effect.

As the fragrance develops, it becomes softer and creamier. Vanilla and sandalwood are added and cover the spicy notes like a fine veil. You can sense an elegant depth that never becomes loud, but works with quiet authority. It is this moment between control and emotion in which you realize how finely everything is coordinated.

It is perfect for quiet evenings or situations in which you want to consciously show your presence without being loud. A fragrance that radiates inner peace and yet remains perceptible.

Longevity: For me, it lasts a long evening for a good seven hours
Sillage: Clear in the first few hours, later pleasantly close to the skin
Season: Autumn and winter, perfect for cool days and evenings
Impression: Warm, elegant and sophisticated, like a silent victory on the chessboard

Recommendation: Named after Paul Morphy's famous chess move, this fragrance captures exactly what Morphy was all about - intelligence, intuition and elegance. Like Morphy, who played entire games blind, this fragrance also seems to play blind. He hits the right notes instinctively, without effort and without visible control. If he were human, he would be Morphy himself, calm, perceptive and always one step ahead. Not a fragrance that begs loudly for attention, but one that gets it as a matter of course.

Chestnut caramel and crème brûlée: sweet temptation for cold days
I was really surprised by Opera Mate. I didn't expect it to be so gourmand, but the combination of roasted chestnut, crème brûlée, caramel and suede works really well.
A warm, inviting fragrance, perfect for winter. The nutty chestnut gives it depth, along with the sweet and smoky notes - very harmonious.

The durability is top: on the skin around 8 hours, on clothing even 12 to 14 hours.

Sure, the price is not low, but the fragrance itself is absolutely convincing. If you like gourmand and leather, you should try it.

You really have to want it..
I certainly don't want it. The chestnut is really incredibly dominant and it really gave me a headache. I'll probably never be able to smell chestnuts again....

Maybe, if you like chestnuts, in winter, applied very discreetly for absolute niche fans. In any case, I'm out of there.

However, I have to give the fragrance credit for its phenomenal sillage and longevity. I practically had to remove the first layer of skin to get rid of the fragrance. Bottle of course, like all minigames bottles 10/10.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone if they still want to leave the house that day....

One of the most gourmand scents ever. Creme brulee note could be spot on! Good stuff but very sweet!

Another tempting pyramid, another disappointment. Spicy-sweet at a lower
designer level. Flop brand! Such a shame about the bottles.

Burnt chestnuts at the Christmas market. Lots of smoke and no longer enjoyable.
Already quite overpowering. The drydown is subtly nicer.

Really great gourmand. Smells like walnut cake to me. Really delicious. But I probably wouldn’t wear it.

Sweet-spicy, for me it's just Crème Brûlée with caramel. Maybe a hint of smokiness, probably the chestnut - unique.

Amazing gourmand scent that balances sweetness with roasted chestnuts and a hint of leather. Performance maker!

Very elegantly composed, calm gourmand, the roasted note of chestnut and brulee is minimal, it glides along silkily.

Super authentic hazelnut nougat gourmet. My personal nightmare, but I'm sure there will be lovers out there.
