Opéra Garnier
Fragrance notes
Character
Opéra Garnier opens with bergamot, cardamom and pepper. The citrus is bright and the spices are dry. The pepper adds a sharp edge that keeps the start from feeling sweet.
The heart introduces labdanum, jasmine and nutmeg. Labdanum brings a resinous weight that anchors the lighter top. Jasmine adds a soft floral touch without turning the blend feminine. Nutmeg reinforces the spicy direction already set by the opening.
The base combines patchouli, cedar, vanilla and musk. Patchouli and cedar provide a woody foundation. Vanilla adds roundness while musk keeps the drydown smooth. The overall impression is warm and slightly powdery.
The accord list includes fresh spicy, woody, warm spicy, floral, musky, powdery, amber, aromatic, citrus and white floral. The fragrance feels composed and steady. It suits cooler days and formal settings. The dominant tones are woody and spicy.
