Opal Secret

Opal Secret is one of the few delicate, unobtrusive and elegant gourmands. A milk chocolate that is just not intrusive or cloying with the sensuality of lily of the valley make it very pleasant even to my nose, which does not always like fragrances of this kind. A dip in childhood, eating chocolate, with all the beneficial effects of this food: an injection of good mood. Really nice, I loved it.

This is dark, hazy, inedible ambery chocolate scent and Chocolate stays there until the end. The texture is not sticky, nor thick but velvety instead. There is not much sweetness in it, Praline is not detectable like is not Vanilla either. The base keeps the scent away from a clear gourmand category, it's absolutely not edible. Amber together with dark non sweet Tonka is completely wrapped around the chocolate. Lily-of-the-Valley stays hidden, I would say that if you don't like it, it doesn't matter. You can smell this scent on the skin even after 15 hours and in the dry down it has changed into the sweet, delicious combination of Chocolate, Praline, Vanilla and Tonka and that thick layer of Amber is gone. The juice is absolutely well blended, the scent is not complex and it is very versatile - therefore it's great for the office as well. Still it is not one of those hundreds of crowd pleasing scents without any personality. The scent is more suitable for wintertime since I think it can be musty and stuffy in hot weather. Longevity is great. The style is not so "me" but the quality is there. I'm still learning the concept of this new house and I will write longer review once I have worn the scent enough. I will write about Amethyst Soul next and after that Pearl Harmony, Topaz Glamour and Onyx Wonder. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗

Bought the dicovery set of the whole collection and decided to start with this one. The opening is more gourmandish with notes of chocolate coming but as it dries down all that i could really smell was a sweet amber. I personally love amber perfumes and this one was really good. Lasted along 8hrs with not a lot of projection and I did overspray (6/7 sprays) would say intimate or moderate. Its a long lasting sweet amber perfum but at this price point I dont know if its the best option.

On my skin and to my sense of smell, it is extremely similar to Rosendo Mateu 5.
