The original Opium notes can still be smelled here, although very much tamed by orchid and carnation. This is a very pretty, powdery, inoffensive and feminine perfume and much easier for me to wear than the original. Although not listed I seem to get a little bit of musk in the drydown, but it could be the iris.

Really? I grew up in China and oriental orchid neither looks like what's on the bottle nor smells like any notes in the bottle. YSL's development team should have done more research before releasing this perfume. Big no-no.

Quite comparable to the original Opium; a spicy opening, warm and heady development with the spicy notes remaining identifyable in the delicate floral development. Dry-down keeps both the spiciness and the warmth. Less "edgy" than the original, but still a big fragrance with excellent longevity and an outspoken sillage for a "summer" edition.

Paradise vanilla. Velvety floral version of Opium with vanilla instead of incense and orchid-nutmeg instead of cloves/cinnamon. Powder makes it gentle and soft. True pleasure. I don`t know what tropical island smells like, but this is how i imagine it - the smell of orchid leis those naked tahitian girls were hanging on Mel Gibson in Bounty. I always wanted to be that girl:)

Our dear member of fragrantica TheGorgon sent me this perfume in a swap today.I will never thank her enough.

I have a story with Opium.It was my signature for years until somebody who really liked it broke my heart.
After that it reminded me of him so much that I was unable to use it anymore.Smelling it on somebody else,just made me cry.
Anyway,this new version,with the opulent orchid,brought back to me the best of Opium without the sadness of the classic formula.
It is great to be able to wear it again!. Thanks,thanks,thanks my friend TheGorgon.

Bloody hell! This one is a knock out! Very potent stuff! It really does shake one to the core first, but settles down on the skin beautifully! Quite different to the original Opium, but still has the desired peppery effect of the original.

This is my other favorite fragrance. It only came out in a 'tester' bottle, had to search e-bay for a year to find one. The original Opium by YSL is for older ladies. This is much more youthful, but for a lady. It's soft, and just alluring.

Love it!!!!! Like so many people here i still have memories from childhood when i used to smell my mom's Opium bottle. Even though it was pretty powerfull stuff, i was mysteriously drawn to the scent. Finally bought a large bottle of this light version blindly and have no regrets whatsoever. What a deep, mysterious, and sexy fragrance! I'm in my early 30's, so this version of Opium is just perfect...maybe in 10-15 years i will be ready for the original one. lol

Similar to the original, also sexy and somehow clean, but with the exotic and rich smell of orchids, the orchid accord reminds me a bit of YSL Nu. Because this is such a big bottle I almost use it as body spray and I always get compliments about it. Imo it's not as dry as the original, very good for younger women.

This is a great scent, floral, exotic, misterious...very sexy and feminine. Like tradicional Opium with soft tones, ideal for summer. Long lasting and excellent sillage. If you want to feel sexy an unique go for this one.

I tried Opium Orchidee, its not tender fragrance as I thought. Very exotic-flowery perfume, developed wonderful on my skin. Bottle is so romantic with little orchid flowers on it. :)
