Younger guys back in the mid to late 90s used to wear it and for me it's kinda nostalgic. It reminds me of cinnamon apple pie and champagne and it's a bit like an after shave and is powdery on dry down. It's very unique.
The Scentinel Dont doubt it. I just read in another video that you are very OCD so I guess You have everything well planned ahead for a few months at least.
I Agree, It's a beautiful Fragrance, and very much overlooked these days. I own a bottle but have not used it as much as I should do. I think many of these Old School Fragrances have stood the test of time because of their quality and uniqueness, and Opium is one such Fragrance. Great review, Thank you.
I finished a bottle of this fragrance about 6 months ago after having it for about 10 years. I really liked it when I got it, but after awhile it made it's way to the back of the shelf and didn't get worn for about 8 years. I had gotten tired of it fairly quickly. i discovered it again when packing to move and found that I liked it, but it wasn't one of my favorites. It was very long lasting and had excellent projection and sillage. I would love to try the EDP.
Keith Montgomery yes, it seems like one that you enjoy when you wear it but then easy to forfet if you don't. I'm not sure this would be one that i can't be without.
I had Opium for a while. Better than so many orientals on the designer & niche side. If this came out now by YSL, this would be super popular & expensive. Transcends time.. good take--gingerbread. I see that 😋
OMG I started watching your review & it made me think I've seen that be4. I just went hunting through one of my "junk" draws & found a 5ml mini splash bottle full! I got it donkys ago but the batch number not giving a result. I remember smelling it years ago & I didn't like it. Back them I wore frags but only had a few & it wasn't a hobby or interest as it is now. I just sprayed it on paper & I really like it. The blackcurrant & anise are really noticeable in this one but so is the pepper to my nose. Haven't got to the dry down yet. Definitely going in the frag cabinet now :) Great review Pep love your stuff
Sprayed on some... Powdery Star Anise with a very sensual peppery vanila vibe on me. Pep, you need ARMAF in your life. Like "iDivo" or "LE PARFAIT". I have both. I have many Armafs. Excellent quality for little money.
Just found today the EDP in a Galerias Kaufhof store in Cologne, Germany, 50ml for €73.99, not exactly cheap. Had to risk a blind buy since they had no testers, but I like the EDT so much that decided to grab one. Checked the batch code 62R80DW, it´s from 2018. They are very similar scents, comparing the drydowns (just on paper, haven't worn the EDP yet,) as rich as I find the EDT, the EDP is more fruity, yet also slightly darker to me. Also more spicy, and kind of more "3-dimensional," as if with more volume and a more delineated shape(s). Overall EDT lighter, EDP denser and stronger, fruitier, spicier, slightly darker. Love both!
I've ordered it. Is it still worth, i mean the new reformulation of around 2016 or 2017? Does this last long? I'm still using Lalique Encre Noir sports and it lasts days on clothes.
Today I received my bottle of Opium with the batch code 62P3019 ... 2017 batch. Its awesome, an art. In start I felt like aramis without spicy notes and in dry down like Jacques Bogart Silver Scent with a little bit Bourbon and balm.
Bought it yesterday. Its literally awesome

Sir!

Agree 100% with your breakdown. Spicebombs older brother. This is the perfume The most interesting Man in the World character would wear.
Carlos Colom yes great suggestion, he would rock this. Thanks for watching.
The Scentinel Im enjoying your stuff. Like the Alphabet listing. Haha. You are gonna get some tough letters to get reviees for I believe.
Carlos Colom i have it sorted 😁

Wusel S. yes le parfait is verry good have you tried the pride of armaf ! i have it
Sadly Opium is discontinued, but still available in stores :( Maybe in few years they will decide to ressurect it like M7 and others.
+Mateusz Olech i didn't realise this. You are right, i still see alot in stores.

ive never had this, but dated a young woman who wore the women`s version and it was intoxicating...truly an aphrodisiac...i must get some for myself!!

I had this one that was a pre 2017 version and it was not a really long lasting scent on my skin. If you like the smell though, it's worth it

Have you tried the EDP?I am exitating between the EDT or EDP thanks.
No, it is difficult to find.

Yes. It smells fantastic on a woman. My dad has it.
Oh... no. I have it... I completely forgot that my dad passed it on to me when i gave him my gold 24... which I miss now a bit.

I much prefer this to the female version.
And I now own a bottle.
