The Story

Launched in 2019, Opalon by Bvlgari is a fragrance crafted by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This Oriental Floral scent opens with the zesty freshness of neroli and lemongrass, punctuated by spicy ginger, creating an invigorating contrast that gives way to a heart of geranium and white musk. The composition settles into a base of ambergris, adding a warm, animalic depth that ties together the fresh and aromatic elements.

Application Tips

Opalon's fresh top notes dissipate within the first hour, so a second application after a couple of hours can help maintain its vibrant presence. The musky base notes are best experienced close to skin rather than from afar.
