Opium - Eau de Toilette

Gorgeous

Spicy, warm, sweet - basically an explosion at the spice factory. Cosy and sensual, envelops you in a sweet cloud. It's a timeless classic, despite being an older release it seems like it could never date. Has a slight cola edge to it. Balsamic and gothy, lasts for days.

Bonne odeur mais elle me rappel les personnes âgées. Bon parfum pour vieilles dames.

Best version of Opium

If you like sandalwood, clove, etc. this is for you. It’s evocative of incense but lighter and wearable, at least in evening. This doesn’t read as “mature” to me as other reviewers have said, but if you’ve ever enjoyed a spritz or seven of fruity or vanilla-scented body mists…this is likely not your speed. I love it. Yves Saint-Laurent spent time in Morocco and it reminds me of scents loved there.

My favourite ever.

Long lasting smell and the hint of orange is to die for

Smells Strong and Elderly

After using this product I can definitely say it’s very fragrant despite it being a toilette. I’m just disappointed that the scent smelled powdery rather than a seductive musk.

Opium has been one of my favorite scents since I was a young girl! My stepmom wore it and after searching for the right scent, I went back to my childhood and remembered how I loved this because of the way it resembles natural oils. I don’t get headaches from Opium and it goes well with my chemistry! It has a very sweet musk smell that goes perfectly with my chemistry.

I'M A GRANDMA AND I STILL LOVE OPIUM!!!

Opium was launched in 1977 at the height of the disco era, during which I was a teenager. I first smelled Opium at the now defunct Marshall Field's department store here in Chicago. I fell in love that day and bought my first bottle at age 18. I'm 62 (soon to be 63) and though the formulation has changed a bit, I still love it AND YES I'M A GRANDMA!!! I get so heated when I read reviews by younger women saying older perfumes smell like old ladies. Well guess what suga, that's exactly what we were back in those days...LADIES! Not every woman wants to smell like a pound cake, pumpkin pie, caramel apples, flowers, fruit and candy! I'll keep on using my Opium, Obsession, Magie Noire and my other "old lady" scents thank you very much!!!

Spicy Scent

I would describe this as the original spicy/oriental scent. Very rich and sensual. I have a family member that wears this. Every time I smell it I think of them.

This smells like goodwill in a bottle. It smells horrible. Goodwill is the only thing that comes to mind when I smell it. Just smells like old stale clothing.

opium.

Luv this Smells like sort of like baby powder on me. Very unique scent on me. I won’t wear anything else because anything else smells horrible on me. Dark blonde green eyes honey complexion.

70s Incense Store

This is so different, but not in a bad way. This is a very incense-heavy smell. I wore this and a friend actually thought someone had lit incense in his car. Unless you're going to yoga, I can't think of any real occasion to wear this, and it definitely has that old-school nostalgic perfume smell to it.

sexy, exotic, nostalgic

sexy, exotic, nostalgic scent for me. as an 80s child I think I had the drugstore spray "if you love opium..." so I can't say whether the current one resembles the original but to me it's perfect and brings back childhood memories. love it
