Pros & Cons

  • ✅ Beautiful variant edition of the classic Opium. Soft and sultry, not as strident as the original, still warm and deep. with a beautiful jasmine, a sweet mandarine and a gentle incense note.
  • ✅ Mandarine, jasmine and myrrh. Myrrh being one of my favorite notes: this is the take on it that I love for warmer weather, the balmy sweet myrrh lightened by sparkling summery jasmine and the juicy fresh mandarine.
  • ✅ Beautiful variant edition of the classic Opium. Soft and sultry, not as strident as the original, still warm and deep.
  • ✅ Mandarine, jasmine and myrrh... balmy sweet myrrh lightened by sparkling summery jasmine and the juicy fresh mandarine.
  • ✅ A toned down version from the original. Just a little more floral... An underrated gem.
  • ❌ I got this bottle years ago and forgot about it. I love the original but have been searching for the perfect summer scent that was less heavy. ... It's fine not great.
  • ❌ Opium, but suntan lotion. I'd rather wear Opium but the martyr I am in attempt to be humanitarian in the summer, I will wear this lighter version.
  • ❌ It's fine not great. My husband took his whiff and says it's ok. It's a shame. still searching.
