  What a beautiful scent and a trip down memory lane! 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 mom’s bottle; luckily, we didn’t dare spray it because we would have been caught, but that simple sniff of the bottle was enough to fall in love with it. I don’t know if it was EDP or EDT and I don’t care; due to life’s circumstances, I didn’t buy it until today. Even if it was 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 sillage and 4 hours of longevity, which is quite a bit for my destructive skin. Happy with my Opium.

  I have a problem: I’m not sure if I smelled 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 shines in all its glory, and I adore incense scents. I’m not sure if I’d own it, but I’d try a decant to decide. It’s very vintage and not for everyone. If you like spicy scents like Luna Rubi (but they’re not the same), this is in that ballpark, just with the myrrh giving it the touch. It’s interesting; I’ve never heard anything like this.

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

  It’s a true gentleman’s fragrance—unbelievable and unique. The moment I put it on, I feel special and powerful. There’s no doubt it turns heads; its scent is impossible to ignore. Even though it’s strong, it doesn’t bother; on the contrary, it gives me energy. It’s one of the best warm, sweet, and potent scents out there. I have the Eau de Toilette, and for me, it’s perfect—I don’t need anything else. I’ll never be without it in my collection; it’s elegant and captivating. Without a doubt, it’s one of my favorites.

  I love it! It’s citrusy, powerful, mysterious, energetic, yet 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 using 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 use it mostly in winter. The projection and longevity are top-notch on skin and clothes. I don’t share the idea that it smells like ‘old ladies’; that’s just rude.

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

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

  It smells great, I really like it, 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 (reformulated 209): It has the same DNA, though it reminds me more of the 1977 original than the pre-2009 version. They removed the plum, clove, coconut, and that animalic ambergris, but the structure remains the same. It opens fresh, green, and citrusy with lily of the valley, then moves to a balsamic and spicy heart. As it dries, the soapy and creamy notes blend with frankincense and last all day. The opoponax (sweet myrrh) and real myrrh wrap around jasmine and carnations with vanilla and benzoin, all very rich. Patchouli and vetiver add earthiness without losing the smoky touch. It’s still 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 clearly sense the DNA of Opium, though in my opinion, only remnants of the original 1977 formula remain. The similarity isn’t just in the spicy sweetness but in the structure itself. They removed notes like plum, clove, peach, opium poppy, coconut, and the animalic power of ambergris from the current formula. Despite being slightly similar to the original, the hereditary connection becomes noticeable over time. It opens with a brilliant symphony of fresh, green, effervescent, citrusy, and slightly soapy notes from the Madonna lily, which soon blend into a balsamic, spicy, and floral heart. Over time, it settles; the soapy and creamy nuances persist throughout the perfume’s life, intertwining with the incense. It’s an aromatic softness 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 itself (balsamic, warm, spicy, aromatic, and sweet) that envelops and softens creamy, intense jasmine and carnations in ambered and incensed chords, intertwined 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 accords, in just the right measure, adding refinement, depth, and beauty to the dry down. Despite the reformulations, OPiUM EDT remains a great 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 sillage.

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