Eau de Parfum

Overview

Coloratura is a rare floral perfume with an operatic inspiration, named for elaborate vocal ornamentation.

Released in 2012 after Floralia, it continued Kurkdjian’s series of special florals with a tribute to Russian opera. Its presentation included gold lettering, a monogrammed wax seal and a handmade white coffret.

The perfume’s fresh bouquet gives the elaborate presentation a surprisingly delicate counterpart. Its small release makes it an intriguing part of the house’s early history rather than an easy everyday purchase.

Look past the limited-edition appeal

Coloratura is interesting if fresh, delicate florals are already a style you enjoy. The ornate presentation and musical story add a collector’s appeal, but they cannot tell you how much you will like the actual fragrance.

The high rating comes from a very small group of voters. Treat that as a reason to investigate, not a reason to pay a premium without smelling it. An authentic sample would be much more useful than another photograph of the beautiful packaging.
