Opera Prima
by Bvlgari
Opera Prima by Bvlgari presents a bright, citrus-forward composition centered on lemon, citron, and orange blossom, accented by white floral notes and a subtle spiciness. The fragrance is unisex in appeal, though its light, airy character makes it particularly suited for daytime wear. Sillage is modest, leaning toward intimate or moderate, and the scent fades quickly, with most users noting its short longevity. The bottle is extravagantly designed—featuring gold leaf, citrine, amethyst, and diamond embellishments—making it as much a statement piece as a perfume. Its aesthetic is bold and theatrical, drawing attention for its opulent glasswork and artistry rather than the scent's depth or complexity.
Pros
- +The warm, inviting citrus-floral character makes it perfect for spring and summer days.
- +The design appeals to those who love theatrical, luxurious bottle aesthetics.
- +Its unisex appeal and light profile suit casual or formal daytime occasions.
Cons
- −Extremely short longevity, making it impractical for long days or hot weather.
- −Sillage is minimal, offering little projection or presence.
- −The perfume is divisive due to its intense citrus and floral focus, which some find overwhelming or underwhelming.
