With Opal Secret, chocolate is clearly the focus. Together with praline, it initially creates the impression of a gourmand fragrance, but the composition is less sugary than this combination might suggest. The chocolate comes across as dark and velvety rather than like a sweet dessert.
Lily of the valley introduces a floral nuance, yet remains very subtle. Much more important to the overall character are amber and the warm base notes. They give the chocolate depth and prevent it from feeling too light or playful.
Sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla, and musk provide softness. The sweeter elements become more prominent as the fragrance develops, while the chocolate remains. This results in a warm, creamy, and woody gourmand composition.
Opal Secret is primarily of interest to anyone who enjoys chocolate in perfumes but is not looking for a simple, sweet dessert scent. Amber, woods, and tonka bean give the chocolate a darker and more mature frame.
