Opal Byblos, that first saw the light of day in 2012, is classified as a feminine fragrance, falling within the fruit and floral families. Opal — proudly part of the Elementi di Byblos collection. The fragrance concentration is eau de toilette.
Country of origin — Italy: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Opal is shaped as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Byblos is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
As soon as the fragrance opens you meet invigorating sunny top notes: Mandarin, Marigold and Mirabelle Plum. These 3 notes build a burst of citrus freshness that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the central layer you meet Cedar, Jasmine Sambac and Rose carrying a spicy-woody direction.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood. The palette also extends to Whiteflower, Gourmet and Musk.
Overall Opal sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best judged through real development.
