In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bolshoi Opera Finale by Alghabra Parfums is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Bolshoi Opera Finale was launched in 2022.

Reviews →

Ylang opens bright with mandarin, orange and bergamot, then settles into a sunny floral mix of ylang-ylang, tiare and orange blossom over soft vanilla, musk and cedar. On skin, it often reads light, summery and gently tropical, though some wearers find the opening sharp or the cedar stronger than expected.
