Opera Night

The overture of sweet pear with tart cassis is not always executed successfully, but it is here in a happy concoction together with the gentle orange blossom. The main acts, however, in Opera Night are all about the iris, freesia and orchid (I find that the jasmine is not that prominent) all playing an equal role with the base notes – more a joyful Figaro’s Wedding or Magic Flute than La Traviata or Carmen. It is sweetly beautiful, very easy to wear and suits almost any occasion. Long lasting and good sillage. The gorgeous dramatic black bottle and presentation box do it justice, too. An underrated little gem from Dzintars, just awaiting more attention along with its sisters Opera and Opera Classic. A lovely blind buy bargain.

On my skin, initially a bit sharp with black currant, orange blossom and blended citrusy notes. Reminds me a bit of a perfume I had a long time ago, could it be Magi Noir? After about 30 minutes I detect vanilla and slightly powdery iris. Finally a very pleasant and longlasting drydown with vanilla, musk and well rounded fruity notes - pear, peach and apricot. I can’t smell any cloves. This is a very nice, long-lastning and luxurious scent for the money. A gift from my mother that she brought back from her home country - I’ll proudly wear it in fall and winter.

Not as cloying as similar perfume La Vie Est Belle. An attractive floral and fruity bouquet is created over a rich, sweet cheese cake with licorice. Warming spices make this perfume a good solution for the cold, dark and damp half of the year.

I am very satisfied! Currently at "Dzintars" stores you can get this fragrnace with 75% discount!

I love the smell, The pear hits me right in the face. With the dry down, I can smell the cloves, the flowers gently play with the musk and vanilla.. I believe this will pair perfectly with Victoria Secret's Pear Glacier. For $35, I can't complain it's not a beast of a perfume but there is charm knowing it won't choke everyone around me. I'm looking forward to trying the flankers. My 16 YO daughter's quote "I smell the orange blossom & vanilla the most, they're mating and mixing their DNA molecules. I suppose for zoomer talk, that's an approval. My daughter doesn't find it to be an old lady scent. (I'm 38) I enjoy this very much. It's unique. Surprisingly, I get a licorice vibe which isn't listed in the notes, but it's there & quite appealing. I did 5 spritzes as it's not that strong. 💓💓
