The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014 and crafted by Daniela Andrier, Opera Prima by Bvlgari is a composition that marries bright citrus with delicate white florals and warm spices. The opening notes of citruses create an immediate freshness that contrasts beautifully against the soft floral heart, while the base adds warmth and depth without overpowering the lighter elements. This balance makes it a fragrance that feels both vibrant and refined.

How to wear it

Given its enormous sillage but poor longevity, apply Opera Prima in light sprays to avoid overwhelming others. It’s best for daytime when you want a fragrance that stands out initially but fades gracefully as the day progresses.
