Unisex

Segment:

Lux perfumes

Fragrance information:

Opaco is a unisex fragrance by the Italian brand Philip Martin's, launched in 2017.

The fragrance belongs to the Amber and Woody families, comes in Eau de Parfum concentration, and has a very strong sillage.

Brand History and Philosophy

Philip Martin's is an Italian house renowned for its premium natural cosmetics.

In 2017, the brand decided to expand its horizons and released its first two fragrances as a limited edition, one of which was Opaco.

It was a bold step for a company that aims to offer its admirers not only skincare but also olfactory experiences.

Learn more about its philosophy of naturalness on the brand's official website.

Scent and Character

Opaco is a soft, enveloping woody amber unisex fragrance. Its composition is built around two key accords: Amber and a Woody accord.

Amber lends the fragrance warmth, a resinous quality, and sweet depth, while woody notes provide structure, refinement, and comfort.

Together, they create the impression of a velvety haze that gently envelops the skin and leaves behind a long-lasting, sophisticated trail.

A distinctive feature of Opaco is its use of the finest natural ingredients, a hallmark of Philip Martin's. As a result, the fragrance unfolds smoothly, naturally, and with remarkable longevity.

It is perfect for those who appreciate minimalist yet expressive compositions, where every nuance matters.

How to Wear It and Similar Fragrances

Opaco is a versatile unisex fragrance that develops equally beautifully on both men's and women's skin. Thanks to its strong sillage, it is well suited to evening occasions and cooler seasons.

Persistence

The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage

Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Gender

This scale depicts gender focus and demonstrates how the brand positions the fragrance - as masculine, feminine or universal.

On the skin

The optimum amount of atomisation on the skin is the balance at which the fragrance reveals itself in its entirety and sounds its best.

Where is the best place to apply the fragrance?

The best places to apply a fragrance are the areas where it will reveal itself most fully and create the most vivid impression.

On clothing

The optimum amount of atomisation of the fragrance on clothes, at which it reveals the best quality of the fragrance.

Associations

Perfume associations are the emotions and images that pop into the imagination when you perceive its unique notes and accents

Effect

Fragrances can attract attention and evoke positive emotions, others can leave neutral, and others can cause negative associations and repel people.

Intensity

The intensity of a fragrance is like its ‘volume’, the degree of intensity and strength with which it is felt around you or on the surface.

Packaging quality

Perfume bottle packaging quality is about protection and aesthetic appeal, including strength, reliability, design and materials. High quality ensures the safety and security of the product, a good first impression and attractiveness
