  What a beautiful scent and memory! The first time I smelled it was in the mid-80s, when I was a teenager at my best friend’s house. She showed me her mother’s bottle; luckily, we didn’t dare spray it for fear of getting caught, but that simple sniff of the bottle was enough to make me fall in love. I don’t know if it was EDP or EDT and it doesn’t matter; due to life’s circumstances, I didn’t buy it until today. Even though it has been reformulated, to my olfactory memory it seems just as delicious. Years have passed and my nose appreciates this oriental balm among so many sweet and pastry-like scents. I have the EDT, perfect for cold days or nights, with moderate trail and 4 hours’ longevity, which is quite a bit for my destructive skin. Happy with my Opium.

  I have a problem: I’m not sure if I tested the EDT or EDP tester. For the first two hours, it smells sweet and floral with spices; I love spicy notes that aren’t too sweet, but this one goes overboard. Once it settles, I love it because the myrrh appears in all its glory and I adore incense scents. I’m not sure if I’d keep it, but I’d try a decant to decide. It’s very vintage and not for everyone. If you like spicy scents like Luna Ruby (though they’re not the same), it’s in that ballpark, only the myrrh gives it the touch. It’s interesting; I’ve never heard anything like it.

  It’s a gentleman’s perfume, wonderful and unique. It makes me feel special and empowered; you stand out and no one goes unnoticed. Despite its strength, it’s not annoying but energising. It’s one of the best warm, sweet and potent scents. I have the EDT and it’s enough for me; I think it will never be missing from my collection. It’s elegant, captivating and one of my favourites.

  It’s a proper gentleman’s perfume, incredible and unique. The moment I put it on, I feel special and powerful. There’s no doubt it makes you stand out; its aroma is impossible to ignore. Though it’s strong, it doesn’t bother at all; on the contrary, it gives you energy. It’s one of the best warm, sweet, and potent scents available. I have the Eau de Toilette, and for me, it’s just right; I don’t need anything else. I’m certain it will never leave my collection; it’s elegant and captivating. Without a doubt, it’s one of my favourites.

  I love it: it’s citrusy, potent, mysterious and energetic, yet feminine and full of personality. It accompanies me all day and is noticeable. For me, it’s number one; I feel happy and strong when I wear it.

  I absolutely love it! It’s citrusy, powerful, mysterious, and energetic, yet at the same time feminine and full of personality. It stays with you all day and you can tell. For me, it’s number one; I feel happy and strong whenever I wear it.

  I adore this EDT; it smells like a real perfume. I’ve been wearing it since 2020 and don’t know the old formulas, but it’s still spectacular: narcotic and addictive. On my skin, myrrh, amber and vanilla dominate; I barely notice the citrus or floral notes, but the result is incredible: warm, enveloping, sweet and slightly soapy. I wear it mostly in winter. The projection and longevity are top on both skin and clothes. I don’t share the idea that it smells ‘old’; that’s just rude.

  This version of Opium EDT is perfect for me: it keeps the DNA but is more wearable all year round. I love that balsamic, oriental and enigmatic tone.

  Smells wonderful and is original, but it has a flaw: it doesn’t last on the skin at all, even though it’s an EDT. That’s why I wouldn’t buy it again.

  It smells very good, I like it a lot, and it’s original… But it has one drawback: I don’t know why it lasts so little on the skin, even though it’s an Eau de Toilette… Would I buy it again? No, for this reason.

  OPHIUM EDT (refurbished 209): It retains the original DNA, though it recalls the 1977 version more than the pre-2009 iteration. They removed the plum, clove, coconut and that animalic ambergris, yet the structure remains the same. It opens fresh, green and citrusy with lily of the valley, then moves to a balsamic, spiced heart. As it dries, the soapy creaminess blends with frankincense and lasts all day. The opoponax (sweet myrrh) and real myrrh wrap around jasmine and carnations with vanilla and benzoin; it’s all very rich. Patchouli and vetiver add earthiness without losing the smoky touch. It remains luxurious, elegant and intoxicating. On my skin, it lasts 10-11 hours, close to the skin with moderate projection.

  OPiUM EDT: In this 2009 reformulated version, I can clearly detect the DNA of Opium, though in my opinion, only remnants of the original 1977 version remain. The similarity isn’t just in the spiced sweetness but in the structure itself. From the current formula, notes such as plum, clove, peach, opium poppy, coconut, and the animalic power of ambergris have been removed. Despite being slightly similar to the original, the hereditary connection becomes noticeable over time. It opens with a brilliant symphony of fresh, green, effervescent, citrus, and slightly soapy notes of lily of the valley, which soon blend into a balsamic, spiced, and floral heart. Over time, it settles; the soapy and creamy nuances persist throughout the perfume’s life, intertwining with the incense. It offers aromatic softness but with good intensity. As in the original, everything is completed by two key notes: the opoponax or ‘sweet myrrh’, with an amber, vanilla, and balsamic profile, and the myrrh (balsamic, warm, spiced, aromatic, and sweet) which envelops and softens creamy, intense jasmine and carnations in ambered and incensed chords, interwoven with vanilla and benzoin, sweetening and adding richness. The woody and earthy notes of patchouli and vetiver move in harmony with the amber and smoky chords, in just the right measure, adding refinement, depth, and beauty to the dry-down. Despite the reformulations, OPiUM EDT remains a good perfume, perfectly orchestrated and balanced. The scent of luxury and extreme elegance remains. Absolutely intoxicating! The longevity on my skin is 10 to 11 hours, very close to the skin, with moderate to soft diffusion and trail.

  Very long-lasting with that typical soapy and talc-like touch. At first, it smells of orange and bergamot, but fades quickly; on the skin, amber, jasmine, vanilla and patchouli take over. It’s for a mature woman, nothing youthful.
