Xerjoff Opera is an extravagant floral woody fragrance built around Turkish rose, leather and amber, and Maids Scents carries the authentic Eau de Parfum with delivery across Nigeria and beyond.
What is Xerjoff Opera?
Xerjoff Opera launched in 2019, created by perfumer Chris Maurice, the same nose behind Xerjoff Wardasina, part of the house’s Vibe collection alongside Xerjoff Erba Pura, Xerjoff Wardasina and Xerjoff Accento, all of which we already carry. Xerjoff frames the fragrance as capturing the warm, vibrant aura of opera-goers, an extravagant beauty the brand insists has to be experienced to be believed.
Like its Vibe collection siblings, Opera comes with a genuine silk neck scarf designed by Xerjoff and produced by renowned silk manufacturers in Lake Como, Italy, adding a tangible, wearable piece of Italian craftsmanship alongside the fragrance itself.
That collection-wide detail reflects the wider Vibe concept itself, which Xerjoff describes as a kaleidoscope of colours designed to mesmerise and inspire, sprayed and styled to match whatever vibe the wearer chooses.
Fragrance Profile
Xerjoff Opera opens with fruits and Turkish rose, an immediately captivating, genuinely elegant first impression the brand describes as drawing directly on European culture distilled through the senses of rose petals.
As it develops, the heart brings in ylang-ylang, nutmeg, leather and amber, warm and richly spiced. One reviewer notes genuine similarities here to the classic Rochas Femme, minus its distinctive cumin note, a genuinely useful reference point for anyone already familiar with that particular vintage-style chypre.
The base settles into patchouli, vanilla, musk, Virginia cedar and Haitian vetiver, closing out a depth the brand describes as genuinely impossible to ignore, soft yet genuinely intense at the same time.
Top Notes: Fruits, Turkish Rose
Heart Notes: Ylang-Ylang, Nutmeg, Leather, Amber
Base Notes: Patchouli, Vanilla, Musk, Virginia Cedar, Haitian Vetiver
Who Should Wear Opera?
Xerjoff Opera suits anyone who wants a genuinely warm, sensual, rose-leather-amber fragrance for evenings, formal occasions or considered gifting rather than casual daily wear. It’s a strong pick for anyone who already loves vintage-style chypre florals like Rochas Femme and wants a modern, niche-tier reinterpretation of that same territory.
Performance and Longevity
It’s genuinely worth being honest that this release hasn’t built up a large body of detailed independent reviews, so testing on your own skin is especially worthwhile here. Given the warm, resinous base of patchouli, vetiver and musk, moderate to strong longevity is a reasonable expectation consistent with Xerjoff’s wider Vibe collection.
That same sparse review history is worth mentioning honestly rather than glossing over, since a fragrance this expressive genuinely benefits from being tried on skin before committing to a full bottle.
Two to three sprays on pulse points is a sensible, practical starting point for a fragrance with this much depth in the base.
Best Time to Wear Opera in Nigeria
Given its warm, spiced, leather-amber character, Xerjoff Opera suits Nigeria’s harmattan season particularly well, where cooler, drier air lets the vetiver, cedar and musk base fully develop for evening wear and formal occasions.
