The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2008, No8 Opopanax by Prada is an Oriental fragrance that defies easy categorization. It opens with a green freshness, but it's the opopanax — a balsamic resin with a sweet and woody character — that anchors this composition. The interplay between the crisp greens and the warm, enveloping amber creates a rich blend of scent that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms slowly over time, so apply it to pulse points for a steady release. The balsamic notes project well, but the overall composition reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.
