My mom loves this stuff, it's been her favourite perfume since the 80's. I find it too spicy, strong and intense as I like more subtle fragrances. And consider myself yet too young to wear it, it is a signature scent for mature, self-confident women who stand their ground.

My mom use it to her signature sense. I think this one is so sexy and feminine. Top note is very strong but wait a minite the heartnote is so classic,and basenote is very warm.
I think this one suit for 30up or adult. Because I spays its on my skin when its dry I don't like.

Great oriental classic, spicy, rich, dark, sexy and opulent. And strong, so I prefer wear it in body products and then get subtle (rare word with opium), not owerpowering scent.

An icon, a legend and a classic.
A hard act to follow to earn such status right?
So no matter what are said about Opium, these remain the fact!!!
For those who cannot stand it, it simply means that they have yet to reach the pinnacle of opulent in life....

this is legendary perfume, but very strong even in edt version. It easily gives you headache, so it is highly recommended to use it in very small quantities...

My favouriteperfume when I was a teenager, in the 80`s. But unfortunatly I cant stand it anymore, it gives me headache. But still I like the overkill with this perfume, it has totally rejected the term "less i moore". :)

Meditatively beautiful in parfum form, otherwise the sillage can be quite intense. Very striking composition; love the oppononax note!

The smell is a bit overwhelming and makes me think of what bitter old ladies smoking cigarettes waiting for their long lost loves to come back smell like -- bathed in the scent. It's not an attractive scent to me, at all.

One of the most revolutionary orientals at the time, now a classic. Gorgeous perfume, very classy. For evening.
