The Phantom of the Opera

This was my signature fragrance until it went out of production. Many times when wearing this fragrance, men asked me what the fragrance was. One time a man admitted he was following me because he loved the fragrance so much. Unfortunately, all the Phantom of the Opera on the market now have aged and lost that beautiful fresh, soft, green scent. One thing I noticed when this fragrance was young, a slight hint of sweet tobacco smell. I know there was no tobacco in it, but that is the best way I can describe it.

This used to be a fantastic cheapie - but looking at the prices above, it's no longer even within reach! Wonderful perfume, outrageous prices today. CrazyRussianChick - if that's a dildo to you, all I can say is OUCH!

Are you serious??? Phantom of the opera!!! as an opera singer i have to say that i will buy this perfume without even sniffing it!!!!! i will love to have this perfume!!

You go Mom, armed with a cell phone while shopping at an estate sale. My mom knows I collect perfumes. I got her an iPhone and explained when shopping how I google when I see something I like to see if the store has a competitive price. She saw this for $2 and snapped it up. I had never heard of it. During the summer, when we made our annual trip to FL, she gave it to me. It smells to me like the florals enveloped in a dark, syrupy haze. Very few perfumes do I place a night/day, seasonal label on but this one, certainly is a night frangrance. And definitely not summer. I can't wait to try this winter for a walk through our city's arboretum evening concerts. I can see this for the Phantom of the Opera *if* Christine would have remained with the phantom in his lair. She would have become a haunting dark beauty. The perfume would have been appropriate for her.

First, the bottle is a real cutie. Frosted black glass & a rose topper - very nice. This is one I'll display without concern that light will alter the juice. Alas, the juice... At first sniff and for the first 20 minutes I get a nice, dark, classy floral that's close to Habanita in depth but the next hour is nothing but the smell of dust and old library paste -- the kind swabbed out of big jars by elementary school art teachers and eaten by the gross kid who also licked his own sn*t... If you can make it through the first 90 minutes you'll enjoy 2-4 hours of a lovely,floral, older/classic drydown that smells much more complicated than the 3 notes listed here. Just don't expect Joy -- there's a smile here, but definitely no Joy. (This little bottle was a bargain but there won't be another purchase.)
