I hardly know a fragrance that presents itself so diversely with ever new, changing facets - and that fits into so many different situations to boot! Opera adapts in my opinion not only different situations, but also moods, weather and seasons. I hope for many more new moments of discovery that lie within this beautiful, velvety soft fragrance egg. Great love!

Unlike coconut in food, I'm not really a fan of coconut in cosmetics or perfume. After once, twice using and smelling I then also usually already passes the desire for further times, I'm annoyed, I find it too penetrating, synthetic, too much, too strong ...

With Virgin Island Water, I am immediately beamed to the Seychelles. White beaches, turquoise sea, waves, sea breeze, a pina colada and a mojito as a welcome cocktail in the hotel, wet hair, freshly showered, a blowing dress - all these are associations that come to me when wearing this wonderful fragrance. At the very beginning, I smell very strongly a clear, fresh lime with a freshly sliced coconut, which is then later enveloped by a very smooth, soft rum coconut. I find this combination incredibly delicious and never too overbearing or heavy-handed; on the contrary, I find the scent very elegant and flattering. On my skin, it lasts for a good 6-7 hours. Luckily I still have a few drops left from my bottling, but it's already landed on my wishlist.

I wore this fragrance up and down in my early 20s (it replaced my first signature fragrance Hugo Boss Femme when I was 18 or 19). For me it is an absolute nostalgia fragrance, with which I associate lightheartedness, youthfulness, freshness and sportiness. Somehow I also find it seductive in a certain way. I bought it again in my early 30s and still like to wear it at certain moments when I want something simple and uncomplicated. Be Delicious has also gotten me a few compliments, from "oh you smell so yummy", to "can I ask what you're wearing?". Kind of always works for me and brings back incredibly fond memories.

I got the fragrance as a gift from my husband when we still had time to smell our way through the perfumes in the airport shop. We were on the way to our climbing holiday on a Greek island and I was looking for a fragrance for the next two weeks. Acqua die gioa is what it ended up being. I associate this perfume with freshness, cleanliness, sport, liveliness, warmth and the sea. All this comes to my mind when I apply the fragrance or think of it. Unfortunately, it does not last long at all on my skin and after a few hours it is almost imperceptible, even if I apply several sprays (which I usually never do more than three times)

The sight of this bottle makes me all nostalgic.... This perfume is the very first one that I got as a gift 20 years ago. As a child, I could not do anything with perfume and found the bottles at my mother and grandmother in the mirror cabinets in the bathroom much more exciting to look at and sniff. I wouldn't say that only children can wear the scent - my aunt also wore the perfume for many years as a grown woman. I also associate the scent with her much more than with my childhood. I would love to know how I would like it today.
