What a floral beauty, more feminine than unisex

I am the lucky owner of a bottle of this beautiful perfume and since this morning I am sniffing it on every possible surface, paper stripe, clothes and skin. It is a bit harsh, hair spray in the opening but after 10 - 15 minutes it becomes such a beautiful floral smell, like when you are in a sunny day in a park full with flowers and the wind gives you a whift of that.

It reminds me of summer, of sun in the eyes and no worries .. I am not sure what the fruity notes are but I definitely feel them. I have tried this perfume in an airport, during Corona times, and it was on my jacket since December .. now in Feb it is still noticeable.

A bit of patchouli and vanilla are coming out also and I simply adore how easy are they mixed together. The bottle came with the top off and dripped some ml on the black velvet so Xerjoff quality controls sometimes are not the best, but overall the experience is great.

Maybe is just my impression but it is quite similar with Amouage - Reflection Man.

The price is too high, like with all the Xerjoffs but I do expect crazy longevity so that will compensate.

Black Gem

Opera opens with, in my nose, flowers. I really smell helitrope that is not in it but I can detect it. It is a wonderful unique scent that will not please everyone. I get no rose that's not bad by the way.

Difficult to say whether it tends feminine or masculine. Doesn't really matter, the suede/leather that comes forward in the drydown does not so much smooth the scent but completes it.

The black casing of the bottle is well chosen because I think it is a true black gem.
Not easy to love but one to cherish once you do.

Dieser Versuch entpuppte sich als großer Fehler

Also, wie fange ich damit an..
Zuallererst, ich habe diesen Duft blind gekauft und mir sehr viel erhofft.

Ich war krank als er ankam und konnte nichts riechen. Deswegen habe ich Tage gewartet und die Spannung wurde immer größer.

Am Sprühkopf habe ich ihn gerochen und mir direkt gedacht, wow, was ein Duft. Ich habe mich so darauf gefreut, ihn endlich zu sprühen, womit ich allerdings warten wollte, bis ich wieder richtig gesund bin und mehr rieche.

In der Zeit als ich krank war habe ich immer wieder am Flakon gerochen ohne zu sprühen und war nach wie vor begeistert.

Heute war dann der Tag, an dem ich ihn das erste mal auf die Haut gesprüht habe.

Erst nehme ich die Rose wahr, und etwas Frucht ich auch dabei.

Im Verlauf wird der Duft cremiger, wobei ich weder Leder noch patchouli wahrnehme. Für mich ist der Duft tatsächlich eher feminin und die Männlichkeit meiner Meinung nach nicht vorhanden (wobei ich eigentlich gerne etwas femininere Düfte mag, allerdings nicht hier). Im drydown kommt noch etwas Vanille und das war’s dann für meine Nase auch schon.

Der Duft ist für mich auch nicht komplex, wie viele Leute behaupten, und der Oma touch von dem viele reden ist definitiv nicht weit hergeholt. Nichtsdestotrotz ist es objektiv ein gut abgestimmter Duft und trifft wie gewohnt die Qualität von xerjoff.
Ich kann auch verstehen, dass vielen der Duft so gut gefällt, aber irgendetwas darin stört mich so sehr (vielleicht das ylang ylang), dass es für mich nur noch anstrengend und penetrant riecht.

Da viele Leute auch davon sprechen, dass er sich so stark verändern soll, habe ich ihm auch wirklich die Chance gegeben. Nach 6 Stunden mit nur einem einzigen Sprüher musste ich ihn abwaschen, da es mir so auf die Nerven ging und mir irgendwie schlecht davon wurde. Das Waschen hat gar nichts gebracht und der Duft war nach wie vor so stark wahrnehmbar.

Der Duft ist wenn überhaupt, meiner Meinung nach erst ab 40 tragbar, und ich sehe ihn ausschließlich an reifen Frauen bzw. Omas.

Kurzum, ich hatte große Hoffnungen und wurde schwer enttäuscht. Riecht meiner Meinung nach nach einem sehr Rose lastigem alte Damen Duft, weder komplex noch besonders gut riechend. Hält ewig und stahlt ohne Ende aus, aber für mich ist das leider nichts.

DAS wird mein nächstes Parfum!

Gerochen und gesampled in München.
Sampleflasche war nach 3-mal Tragen komplett leer. Ich liebe dieses Zeug. Opera ist einer der vielseitigsten Düfte, die ich je gerochen habe — egal welche Jahreszeit, man kann nichts falsch machen. Die ersten 2 Stunden riecht es nach zuckerarmen, gar nicht knatschigen, grünen Gummibärchen, dann kommen ganz dezent etwas Leder und Gewürze dazu. Später durchgeht das Parfum eine Entwicklung, die ich so noch nicht gesehen habe: Plötzlich wird es total holzig-erdig. Die Gummibärchen verschwinden nahezu komplett; die Gewürze sind im Hintergrund. Leder, Holz und Vetiver blasen nun die Hörner. Und wie sie das tun.
Was ein Duft!

410 Talers? PAH! I'll give you 5!!!

Phew, it's been 3 years since I last added my two cents to a fragrance in a more or less sensible way, and I always thought (and still think) that many people are so much better at what they do here. XY perceives every little nuance of a fragrance and analyzes whether it smells like the sole of Prince Carl Gustaf's shoe or whether the tears of orcas exude exactly these molecules when they swim in the moonlight, blah blah blah ... so I thought I’d just leave it because, to be honest, nothing has blown me away in recent years ... you kind of know everything already or it only differs minimally from what has been there before. On one hand, it's sad; on the other hand, it's great for the wallet, even though you keep convincing yourself that you absolutely need this and that fragrance because the bottle would look wonderful with Grandma's wood paneling or the new packaging from Wiesenhof. You can ALWAYS find reasons if you just look long enough ...

But WHAT does all this have to do with Opera ... actually nothing ... or maybe a little? Well ... I first smelled it, I think, at the end of 2013 / beginning of 2014, and it was love at first sniff ... It actually fits perfectly into my preferred scent profile. It lasts incredibly well, makes everyone’s mucous membranes tingle, and is sweet ... not cheap sweetness like you often find in fragrances, but something very noble ... you walk past people with generic scents and think, "Ha! Take that!!!" ...

However, I quickly realized that it can also make you feel nauseous. The fragrance is loud, very loud, and often TOO loud! I don't know if it's the combination of fruits, vanilla, and patchouli, but when you get into a car after two weeks, you might think ... Ah, you’ve been here before! So it’s not a fragrance if you want to cheat on someone; it’s noticeable, no matter how much effort you put in! Or you could take a joint bath in bleach afterward, that would be one option!

However, I find that the fruity notes, as nicely described here, don’t really belong in the top note, as they are present throughout the entire fragrance development. I can't perceive vetiver, cedar, or musk at any point! In combination with the vanilla, Opera is actually a fragrance, as the name suggests, for a special occasion, a dinner, the opera, and if you want to annoy someone you don’t like, also for a funeral!

Sospiro once again gives the finger to Amouage, Roja, and Co. and is far ahead ... it’s a beautiful and great fragrance that gets a full score from me, BUT at least for me, I see almost no fragrance development ... I don’t know if that can be criticized and if it belongs to high perfumery, but I think it should at least develop a little ... So I smell all day like Basti from Borneo who helps out on a fruit farm ... You can love it, but you don’t have to ... and that brings us to my environment; unfortunately, the majority is not at all taken with the exploded cotton candy, lemonade in the crotch, etc. There were really nice descriptions for Opera, but when a good friend asked about the price and I said it costs 410 euros, her response was that she would be willing to pay me a maximum of 5 talers for it, and even that was meant kindly. I think we can all agree that Sospiro really offers very high-quality and selected niche fragrances, but opinions often differ on the scents, and Opera is just not a likable fellow like Double Vanille, which almost everyone likes ...

So I advise everyone to test this little treasure extensively before buying it; if after a week you still fall in love with the fragrance every day, then you might make it to your golden wedding anniversary, and it’s worth every cent ... if not, you might want to check out Ouverture from the same manufacturer ... the fragrance goes in a similar direction but ultimately develops differently, and price-wise, it’s a different caliber :)

... see you in three years :D
