The 3 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.

Where it differs: Xerjoff Opera is fruitier and reads a little more masculine, with less of Valiant's powdery orris and violet and a warmer, plusher sweet base.
Where it differs: Sospiro Opera pushes a juicier fruit opening and a drydown that leans toward Ange ou Demon, so it feels sweeter and less powdery than Valiant.
