The title roles of five great operas inspired Histoires de Parfum's new Opera Collection. Originally released as pure perfumes, these fragrances named after five divas, are now available in eau de parfum. Some scents like some melodies still lead in the air, intangible and yet unforgettable. Music and perfume operate with the same dynamic; they travel their notes in an ephemeral and intangible space. Gerald Ghislain is passionate about opera and wanted to add to his collection of fragrances inspired by great figures of literature.
