Opera III

If you expect the the boldness and dramatic impression of Capucci de Capucci, you will get none of that in Opera. Opera is entirely different Capucci: soft, elegant, but just as unique. To me it is as woody as can be...the warm kind of woodiness with a hint of sweetness. I think the notes are in perfect balance, love the mixture of carnation, rose and citrus. Even though it is a soft fragrance, it has the same Capucci quality, great sillage and will linger on the skin for hours. On me it stays for 7 hours easily, which is pretty impressive for EDT. I think it is very refined and unique, not just another ordinary nice casual scent, although it is suitable for any occasion all year around. The only thing that doesn't make much sense is the name. I really enjoy it and consider it one of my most successful blind buys, especially considering the quality to price ratio.

That would be very wise Olga!! Should I have known that Byzance by Rochas would go COMPLETELY insane in the price, I would have bought TONS of it. Now I only have 2 bottles of that one. I suspect Opera being such a perfume too. When they will be all sold, it will become a typical hard to get and it will never be this good priced again!

Olga, I cannot believe it myself why people are not buying themselves CRAZY on this one! This is a real masterpiece and indeed not your typical Capucci scream perfume but very creamy and flowery, like they improved NOA. I think this masterpiece is EXACTLY what NOA should have been. LOVELY!!

Oh my, this is so wonderful....just got it and already thinking of a backup bottle. Nobody even tried it except Action? What's wrong with people! If it's any reassurance,it is still available on Ebay for only $20 for a large bottle. So go and grab it! Will write a detailed review later.

I can't believe my review is still the only one here!! I know of so many that love this one! For example ChatLunatique, Persephone, so ladies I hear it is available in the states for a great price! Buy it before the stock has run out!
