Opera by Xerjoff is a luxurious oriental-spicy fragrance with a floral-fruity opening and a warm deep base. It starts with intense fruity/floral accords that do not come across as feminine at all. Rose and Ylang-Ylang are very prominent. As it develops, spicy nuances of nutmeg and patchouli unfold, accompanied by creamy vanilla, amber, and a light leather note. The scent feels opulent, almost theatrical, perfectly in line with its name.
The projection is very strong in the first few hours, ensuring that you are definitely noticed without being unpleasantly obtrusive.
The longevity is superb, lasting 10-12 hours on the skin, and even longer on clothing.
Opera is not a fragrance for everyday wear or subtle appearances, but for special occasions where you want to make a statement.
Those who enjoy intense, complete, and extravagant scents will find this to be a perfect match!

The Vendetta by Marc Gebauer is a scent like no other, starting with a cloud of iron that, paired with lemon, orange, and saffron, creates a fragrance that knocks you off your feet. It continues with even more iron, which becomes increasingly "pleasant" over time and comes across as wonderfully rounded thanks to the interplay of the other fragrance notes, with lavender and orange blossom playing a significant role! This combination gives the scent an extreme depth that smells very special and creates an incredible sillage.

It is a solid all-rounder that can be worn in everyday life as well as on special occasions. The metallic note provides a certain masculinity that is unmistakable and perceived by everyone (I really like this), while the citrus notes offer a pleasant freshness.

As for longevity, there isn't much to say... it's a Marc Gebauer scent after all... still, I will try to describe it to you. 2 sprays on the wrist, 2 showers later, and it is still detectable. The sweater worn during the test spray still smelled of Vendetta after a full 4 WEEKS!

Conclusion: The Vendetta offers an excellent price-performance ratio through its scent and longevity and is a perfume that is well-suited for both the classic and modern fragrance lover.

Imagine you are preparing your rice pudding, have already used honey as a base topping, reach for the cinnamon, want to sprinkle it on top, and suddenly the lid comes off and the entire rice pudding is filled with cinnamon.
That was my first association when I applied the fragrance and the scent cloud came towards me. What initially seemed like a faux pas in description convinced me even more after a short time. The strong cinnamon scent is incomparable and makes the perfume something truly special. The vanilla beautifully rounds it all off and makes the fragrance well-balanced.
I got a tester at the souk and took it to the Christmas market right in time for the holiday season, and what can I say, wow. Three sprays are enough to create an incredible sillage, so that everything around you smells like a mix of cinnamon and honey. Unfortunately, the sillage doesn't last very long at that level but fades after about two hours; after approximately 6-7 hours, the scent is only close to the skin. On my wrist, it lasts a good 1.5 days.

Conclusion: Oajan is a beautiful gourmand for winter that you really can't wear all the time, as it is something quite special. It is perfectly suited for special occasions like Christmas parties, birthdays, or day trips to the Christmas market.

The Vicebomb is a very sweet gourmand that, thanks to Amarena cherry and red fruits, initially reminds one very much of a Black Forest cherry cake. This character lasts for several hours, and then the vanilla cream adds a feeling of creaminess and even more sweetness. I love it. Tonka bean and amber provide a certain depth to the fragrance, making it not just bluntly sweet but truly smell like something special.
I find the scent particularly suitable for wearing in autumn and winter, as well as in everyday life and for special occasions, as it embodies a seductive and luxurious indulgence.
It cannot be compared to Lost Cherry by Tom Ford, Infinity by Montale, or other cherry fragrances, so it's something new even for anyone who owns such scents.
Regarding longevity, I can say that on me, with 4 sprays, it lasted about 7 hours and was also perceived from the outside. I really like the scent and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys sweet gourmand fragrances and loves cherry!

Although neither vanilla nor tobacco are listed among the fragrance notes, I would describe the scent this way: from the very first moment of spraying, it brings a vanilla note paired with a hint of sweet tobacco that is perfectly balanced.
Coffee and rum gradually mix in more and more, adding a variety that greatly benefits the fragrance!
A gourmand scent that is one of a kind. It’s not a fragrance for everyone, but for those who appreciate unique gourmand scents, it’s all the more special!
The longevity is well-rated at 8.2, as it really lasted several hours in my test without losing sillage.
