Shockingly violent, sweeping and modern when it premiered, Puccinis Tosca was a true spectacle, drawing heated and mixed critical reaction‰and the absolute adoration of the public, who flocked to its every sold-out performance. Having already been transformed into an Italian-language opera from a French-language play, Toscas further transformation into a perfume with cross-border influence seems all too appropriate, and so it may come as no surprise that its a crowd-pleasing success‰a colorful, broadly painted grand-dame floral mixing freshness and lusciousness, bright herbal tones and smooth vanilla creaminess, for a truly romantic work of art. Many fragrances claim to be operatic, but La Tosca Eau de Parfum, with its crisp and green citrus opening, herbaceous floral heart, and rich drydown, really does feel like a scent in three distinct, yet connected, acts, guiding us on an ever-moving emotional journey that twists, turns, and ultimately uplifts the spirit.
