Xerjoff is an Italian niche house known for bold, architectural fragrances and a commitment to quality ingredients. Founded by perfumer Carlo Xerjoff, the brand has built a reputation for unconventional compositions that prioritize artistry over commercial appeal.

Opera opens with bright fruits and Turkish rose before settling into a rich heart of amber, leather, and nutmeg warmed by ylang-ylang. The base is anchored by Haitian vetiver, musk, and patchouli, with vanilla and Virginia cedar adding depth and woody structure. The overall profile is a sophisticated blend of floral and amber accords with a distinctly creamy, leather-tinged drydown that prevents it from feeling overly sweet.

This works best as an evening fragrance for someone seeking a perfume with serious presence and complexity. It's equally suited to cooler months when its woody, leather elements can fully develop. If you gravitate toward The Seducer, The Mystic, and The Reverie, Opera will likely resonate.

Fruits

Turkish Rose
Turkish Rose
Rosa damascena grown in the Isparta region of Turkey, one of the world's major sources of rose oil alongside Bulgaria. Turkish rose has a slightly more spiced, cinnamon-adjacent quality than Bulgarian rose, with a rich, full-bodied sweetness and good lasting power. Essential to Middle Eastern-inspired and classical oriental rose fragrances.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Leather
Leather
One of perfumery's most complex accords, smoky, animalic, and slightly woody, evoking tanned hide, polished saddles, or fine gloves depending on the recipe. Leather adds sophistication and edge simultaneously, and is deeply associated with masculinity in Western perfumery (though the best leather fragrances transcend gender entirely).
Nutmeg
Nutmeg
Warm, woody, and softly spiced with a slight sweetness that makes it gentler than clove or pepper. Nutmeg adds a quiet, autumnal warmth to fragrances without sharpness. It blends seamlessly into woody and oriental bases, acting more as a supporting character than a lead note.
Ylang-Ylang
Ylang-Ylang
Base · 3–12 hrs
Haitian Vetiver
Haitian Vetiver
Vetiver grown in Haiti, one of the world's largest producers, with a particularly earthy, smoky, and slightly woody quality. Haitian vetiver is drier and more rustic than Java vetiver, with a rawer, more agrarian character. It is widely used in masculine and woody fragrances for its excellent tenacity and unmistakable earthy presence.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Virginia Cedar
Virginia Cedar
Warm, slightly sweet, and clean, Virginia cedarwood is the most commonly used cedar in mainstream perfumery. It has a familiar, pencil-cedar smell with a soft warmth that makes it universally approachable. Less assertive than Atlas cedar, it acts as a quiet, reliable base note in hundreds of commercial fragrances.
