YSL Opium (1977)
YSL Opium Secret de Parfum (1992)
Estee Lauder Youth Dew (1953)
OMG you have all opium ❤❤❤ It is a magnificent scent. I love opium, youth dew and cinnabar too much. I feel its a timeless scent and smells niche
Vintage Cinnabar is high on my never ending wish list 🔥
@@RamseytheRam Its too expensive hier in Germany. I just buy the normal 1 and love to overspray it 🤣🤣🤣
Hi, your review of Opium is spot on! I know this perfume very well in it's original formulation , as it used to be my mother's signature scent.
She had the 60ml splash edt bottle, and even when she dubbed it only 2-3 times on her skin, you could smell it from the other side of the house. and the scent was unfolding from top to base for hours, very 3d as you said.
I still have it and other spray bottles, 30+ years later, and unfortunately (as you also mention) it goes now straight to the base due to age. So the experience of how it used to smell and project in it's original form is forever lost i'm afraid...
If you like opium I recommend you to try 3 other perfumes related:
First is Ho Hang by Balenciaga from 1971, one of the first marketed unisex perfumes (later marketed as a male fragrance), and done by the same nose as Opium. Experts consider it as the inspiration to Opium, for me the connection is very evident, mainly the top notes of how Opium used to smell. (although the overall experience is more fresh berbershop masculine fougere)
Second perfume is Cinnabar by Estee Lauder, (only in it's original form)- I think launched the same year as Opium- it's the closest thing to Opium one can find but more dense and sweet. It also somehow seems to survive time better than Opium.
Third one is an unknown gem- Zibeline secret de venus (huil pour le bain version) by the house of Weil. - this house had an interesting history of making perfumes for scenting fur coats, and it's very animalic and have that cola effect.
Launched in 1928, and a must try if you like this category of deep oriental perfumes.
Wow what a fantastic comment to read thank you so much for sharing.. i own a bottle of ho hang club & love it... i need to get my nose on the last 2 you mentioned... thanks for sharing such a well informed lovely comment 😊
@@RamseytheRam glad to discover your channel! Btw ho hang club is from 1987 and is not a flanker of ho hang, they are different and not done by the same nose.
There are 2 main versions of ho hang, one in the original bee pattern box, which is the original formulation which is closer to opium.
The more recent one is in the red box, now also discontinued- slightly different, maybe more masculine.
It is hard for me to decide which one is better, i like both.
Totally agree on the Cinnabar ref, I'd add Magie Noire by Lancome in there too.
I dont have the box anymore I dont think only the bottle.... is there a way to tell versions based on the bottle?
@@RamseytheRam The original version I have has a transparent brown top written on it Balenciaga paris, the label is brown, and it's an atomiseur spray.
The reformulated version has red top with the bb logo on it, the label is red and the sprayer is vaporisateur natural spray.
As for Ho hang club- it was launched as the first masculine balenciaga perfume in 1987 after Bogart bought the rights for the perfumes of house balenciaga. originally it was named "club de balenciaga", then changed to ho hang club.
bottle and label is black, and all 3 versions I mentioned have the cylinder shape.
Opium is a rabbit hole due to the amount of times YSL perfumes changed hands, my favorite in the women's line is the original, I have the same 36ml spray, mine's from 1985 at it is ludicrously beastly, agree that the top notes have faded a bit due to age but to me it's art
Couldnt agree more... perfume is art and thats that 😊
Love the original. I know exactly what you are talking about. My mother started wearing that in 77 and her room and clothes would smell like that forever. The old bottles were so beautiful and they even had a long necklace with a mini bottle on it, which she had it.
Her dogs would smell like that just because they were in her lap or she picked them up
It is a scent that was addictive. And you wanted to be around it. Please, rich and it would inspire luxury. Pure elegance ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your mother had amazing taste! Granted there werent a million niche scents back the but still👍
Thank you so much for this comparison! I am really loving your reviews.
@@LiaAndrews thank you so much!
This comparison came sooner than i anticipated! Again great stuff Ramsey
Deciding if I should keep or return the vintage so i figured I better knock it out now 😊 Thanks for watching as always
Wow man you’re hardcore! 😄😆 I love O & YD. I used to wear O at age 21 in 1992 I just loved it! I want to repurchase the modern EDT & EDP versions + 1 bottle of a vintage from EBay so I’m watching all these reviews to reacquaint my self to this beauty. YD is awesome I wear it. The O bottle I had was the removable cap not the inserted sprayer bottle, first time I see that one. Thanks for this thorough review good job Buddy! 👍😊
Thanks so much for watching & commenting & happy hunting 😊
@@RamseytheRam 👍😉
Thanks to you and Rich Mitch, I picked up a partial Parfums Corp. 30ml of the EDT and completely fell in love with it. Now, in addition to that bottle, I have another 30ml sealed bottle (Gucci), a Charles of the Ritz 60ml splash, a bottle of the Secret de Parfum, and a current bottle of the EDT (which is crap.) Fantastic stuff for sure!
Congrats brother! It is an amazing fragrance... top for me of all time 😊
I have the original Opium with the built in atomizer and ATM it is the only version I have ever smelled, let alone worn. I agree with you that a lot of the base is there right from the get go. I do sense a shadow of clovey orange not unlike a mulled beverage but it is just a shadow and time has practically erased it. Resins are there in abundance and that exotic, smokey incense does a fantastic job of enhancing the resins and woods without stealing the show. Speaking of woods I mainly detect the creamiest rich, lux sandalwood but no other woods even though they are listed. The resins in this first formula Opium are sweet and dense. I'm sure, on me anyway, the opoppanax is coming through the most and it gives me that resinous "sweet" that can also be found in my beloved vintage Poison (not saying they smell anything alike because they don't). It seems the florals are genuflecting to the spices which boils down to mostly cinnamon on me, at least it's the spice I get for the entire duration of the fragrance. I do get a definite hint of rose and it is a natural matured rose at the height of its scent just before it starts to deteriorate into something else, something unpleasant. This rose is done to perfection. I think I can even smell peach but let's face it EVERYTHING about this fragrance is expertly blended, balanced, and perfectly rounded. Oakmoss as you pointed out is of the natural kind and giving a very slight earthy cast to the fragrance and I'm sure is a big reason all things in Opium are anchored and joined together seamlessly. Plus, oakmoss has got to be a major reason longevity is off the charts. I see castoreum is listed but I swear that sublime "funk" I detect is of a civet nature but civet isn't listed. It isn't nasty or anything like that, it just provides this erotic haze that might raise an eyebrow lol! I really enjoyed your review/comparison and knowledge of this timeless classic and appreciate everything you put out there for all things vintage fragrance! Today I purchased a "newer" bottle from '04 and can't wait to do my own comparing! Thanks again!
Thank you Tim! Beautiful break down and the bit about the rose right before it starts to turn is a perfect way to describe it 🥀
Enjoyed this comparison and review of these, I remember Chaps in the 80s I gotta look into that one, nice history and info thx so much
Thanks for watching & commenting 😊
Beautiful love Opium and Cinnabar and Youth Dew and all the OG greats Tfs you have a wonderful collection
Thank you so much 🙂
My favorite scent! Great review. Thank you
Your welcome... thanks for watching & commenting 💪🐏
Great review! This is my all time favorite scent! Thanks
It is one of the greatest Perfumes of all time.... thanks so much for watching & commenting 🙂
i watched this to see what you thought of youth dew (im looking for an old bottle) but weirdly the EXACT same thing happened to me with my old opium with the EXACT same bottle haha. they listed it as bigger than it was, but the deal was so good and the juice was in such good shape that i just kept it and let it be. im just glad to have any of the original 70s stuff, its like a hydrogen bomb compared to 90% of everything ive smelled.
That's crazy Sean 💀😂
Awesome comparison video. Useful tool for future purchases. I was sampling a vintage Parfum version while watching to get in the spirit. Seriously keep up the good work my friend ✌️
Thanks for the support brother ... got more first impressions of your decants coming up soon 😊
@@RamseytheRam I'm stoked for your thoughts. Love or hate. ✌️
Oh my freaking gosh!!!! Opium Secret De Parfum is a vintage Masterpiece! Truly unisex in my opinion, I just smile imagining the woman approaching wearing this😮😊 Never have I Ever regretted a blind buy on your recommendation. So fantastic, I’ll spend the next few days wearing and really getting to know this amazing Parfum! Ramsey, thanks Brother, fantastic review & recommendation 🤘🏻
What a beautiful comment... these vintage gems make it easy on me to make recs 💎
@@RamseytheRam mind totally blown on this one!! Perfection is how I rate this one. Nos tester in perfect condition, cartwheels over this beautiful fragrance
Dude 😂 I’m back again 😂🤦♂️ just scored a vintage 65ml new old stock in box n evthn of youth dew . £22 … been hunting g for a vintage opium but as you said the edp is getting pricey .. and that video is two years old . Now it’s almost unibtainium . Can’t wait to test this dew juice now 🤓👍
You will dig it mannnnnnnnn
Gracias por tú reseña, Ramsey me ayuda mucho. Hago compras en Mercari de perfumes que quiero probar, quiero comprar Opium edt 1977, porque me gusta Opium edp que actualmente existe, y mi razón de buscar el antiguo es que las nuevas versiones se me hacen ligeras, y no me duran mucho, unas 3 horas. Tengo un perfume reciente de 3 años, quizás esta muy reformulado, pero los antiguos se venden caros, a precios exagerados para ser perfumes usados que no se si tendrán buena fijación. He visto Opium Secreto de perfume por $200 dólares… entonces no se si arriesgarme por algo desconocido… me gusta Opium por su mirra e incienso, ambar pero me dura 3 horas en piel con poca estela.Quiero que vuelvan las antiguas versiones en tiendas.
Thanks for watching & commenting mate 🍻
I picked up the original opium on ebay for dirt cheap and have been debating whether or not to get a slightly later version as I suspect the original has lost some of its top and perhaps mid due to age (Still amazing regardless). Been waiting for a comparison like this to help with the decision and its an absolutely wonderful video! In my opinion, you truly do make some of the best, most complete perfume content on youtube.
As for pricing... I believe that is still a good deal, the original is getting super hard to find and when you can find it, you have to spend a fortune from what I've seen recently. I'm so lucky to have picked up my 1.2oz nearly full for around $45 as a blind buy after reading a review from Kafkaesque's blog.
Wow thats high praise indeed .. i feel like I have to live up to that now 😊
Thanks for watching & commenting & 45 bucks for the vintage bottle I have?? Thats a steal mate!
One question does yours say 80⁰ like mine or 80%?
I have adored the 90's Opium since my sister introduced me to it in London. It stuck into me and my coat for days. I loved it and got so many compliments on it.
I've recently been finding original Opium on ebay lately and I'm obsessed! I found a 3.3ml bottle from 1990 and it almost brought me to my knees in my memories of wearing it in times past. The new formula is an abomination!
YD was my mom's favorite and she smelled fabulous in it. So fabulous that I decided to try it for myself. It was terrible! I cannot wear it. Strange since I can rock original Opium.
Thanks for the vid!
Thanks so much for sharing that beautiful story Wendy 🙏🙏🙏
Comprehensive, just how I like it 👌 🙏 I need a bottle of that secret de parfum
You do need a bottle of the secret de parfum... its so resinous and gooey with just the right sweetness .. God I love opium in all ots iterations 😊
Opium Secret is such a perfect ride. For me, it is the refined version of all things Cinnabar, which I love and is a grandchild child of Youth Dew. Secret is also a more sophisticated version of Opium. I think the myrrh softens all of the golden edges. It also adds depth. O Secret dries close to the skin, but it will raise its luxurious head if your heart starts racing.
Those secret de parfum bottles I have is one of the most amazing Myrrh I have ever smelled...Ever 🤌🤌🤌
Hi Ramsey, I came across a local listing from a guy selling vintage Opium 60ml brand new, sealed, certainly looking like it's from the 70-80's, according to the box and the label on the bottom. Is $150 Canadian a fantastic price for it? He is also selling what is appearing to be 90's 30ml bottle sealed for $80 Canadian as well! I think I will take the 60ml for sure. And from the sound of it, he scored these bottles in an old storage locker and might have more than one so please let me know if you're interested and I can hook you up!
Thanks I am set on Opium as I have about a litre of juice... but I appreciate the offer
Thanks for watching & commenting 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRam Haha litre of juice is impressive!
@@onewontdo price seems fair to me btw 👍🏻
@@RamseytheRamThank you sir! Excited to finally acquire one of the most iconic vintage examples.
Ramsey, I thought of you on my holiday. Have you tried Youth Dew bath oil? I’m not sure you’re a person that likes a bath? If you do, you need to get your hands on the bath oil. It’s out of this world!! I took a bottle for the first time on my holiday and it’s divine. 😨😨😨
Yes I must admit it isnt really my thing in fact I decided to forgo a bath in the master bedroom so I could get a bigger shower!
But i daughter takes baths.. my 2 year old could be projecting youth dew all day 😅😅
Hope ur holiday was was brilliant ma'am 😊
Hey there- which formula in your opinion has the LEAST amount of a leathery note? I love what I wore in early 90's edt but todays edt smells a bit leathery to me. Thx
Great info!
Ohhhhh thats a tough one .. i would have to go back and revist but from memory probably the secret de parfum as that feels so heavy on the myrhh but it is still slightly leather... i think the resins in the are just going to come across leathery sometimes 🤷♂️
I really like Youth Dew - I'm going to have to find an vintage bottle and compare to the current
I would love to find a really old bottle of youth dew too... thanks so much for watching & commenting 😊
I have the 1970's dude, Café by Café. It smells like Opium edt. Not bad for a cheap scent, but not as good as the real thing.
I think that was an Alberto Morillas fragrance if memory serves
Wondering which vintage Opium would be better, the spray or the splash bottle? Love the look of the rectangular splash bottle but wonder if it affects the juice
Sorry never smelled a splash of Opium for women 🤔
Thanks for watching & commenting 🤌🤌🤌
Hey Ramsey. Been watching the vids as I am an elder juice junkie. I basically only wear women's ( a few men's) and have worked in the fragrance industry. I love the take on some of my faves. Many I purchased at launch or actually launched. As a front row seater to much of what you speak of, it shocks me to see how few viewers you have. I know you got a new light - lol - but I truly feel it is not about you, or what you say. It's the accoutrements. You could use some set dressing, wardrobe, and boom! You are there. Is this a goal or a hobby. If hobby it's a costly hobby. I'm perfume poor. I know. Keep doing girls stuff please as men's is boring, but gorgeous, I know. 💋
Yes thanks so much for watching & commenting ... it really is just a love & hobby for me... I honestly dont care about the subscribers ... besides I am only 3 or 4 months into this so my channel is still young... I know my set up could use some intro music or graphics but I dont know how to do all that... figured I would just turn on the camera & talk & let the chips fall where they may ... thanks for the support & for watching & commenting 😊
@@RamseytheRam cool. You have a lot of options for that short of time. Nice. You have a p.o.box? I could maybe decant a few of my special oddities for you...if interested? I'm not on SM.
just got the vintage edt. Not sure how old it is but it is the 1977 bottle version, idk if the fragrance changed due to age but its so dark in color and thicker in consistency. smells of clove, murr, spice, old attic, vintage clothing shop smell. Got a good deal for it. it was a 36ml bottle like yours but it only had a few mls left in it. I paid like $10 for it lol
Those last few mls in a bottle sometimes have the most chance to turn ... try and find a fuller bottle to compare 🙂
@@RamseytheRam got u
Super interesting. How does your vintage Youth Dew compare to the new stuff? Thinking of getting it
I have never smelled new youth dew... but if you can find a cheap partial of the old stuff go for it .. its the most masculin of the 4 🤌🤌🤌
I really love this vintage opium it smells like Powdery Floral-y Vintage-y Kind of Cola To me❤❤❤
One of the greatest fragrances of all time! Thanks for watching 🙏
I think I like the sculpted EDT version a bit more because it is more airy.
Yes it isnt as dense for sure.... i know exactly what you mean 😊
I have the 1977 original. I refuse to use it, cause I love it so much!
Use it! You only live once... wear it for Christmas this year 🎅🎄🎁
I just bought an UnSprayed 1.6 oz bottle with the curved gold top - clear bottle gucci ppr ?- vintage but not built in sprayer. for 30 bucks, with 2x 0.5 oz travel sprays for 3 dollars each WOW!
It is a stunning perfume... its one of those frags that makes you realize the line in the sand between the perfumes of 40+ years ago and the crap they are putting out today 💎
That opium is off the charts man. Have you tried Tabu?
I have not tried Tabu Andy... its on my to sniff list 😊
I hope you didn’t return your 1977 Opium. I’m having a hard time finding one with the built in sprayer. Got the more recent version you showed and can definitely see the huge difference between it and vintage Youth Dew. On eBay Youth Dew is still reasonable at $40 for a full bottle, dark liquid like yours. And the scent kills.😅
I did not Opium is one of my favorite perfumes of all time... that is honestly the only knock against it... is that Youth Dew came 1st... other than that it is a perfect fragrance
Ramsey, te pido un favor podrías hacer reseña de Opium nuevo en comparativa de Opium de 1977, si varían o son parecidos, muchas gracias. Te recomiendo una marca que es interesante Parfum de peau by Montana, Claude Montana tiene fragancias económicas, de la vieja escuela, con cuero, son balsámicos, buena calidad, y duración buenísima.
Appreciate your support & watching & commenting 🤌🤌🤌
Unlike eBay, mercari doesn’t allow partial refunds. Which is really annoying in this case.
Ya i am torn ... i might just keep it.. im kinda lazy lol
@@RamseytheRam I feel you on that.
You are missing the deodorant 😁 it's quite good (I'm using it together with the edt). More soapy.
Nice ... i love opium so much... made my top ten on my top 100... its a banger 😆
Where can i buy the vintage opium?
Try enchanteperfumes
I tried to post an answer for your question about Ho Hang but can't see it, so will try again (sorry if you see this multiple times)
The original version I have has a transparent brown top written on it Balenciaga paris, the label is brown, and it's an atomiseur spray.
The reformulated version has red top with the bb logo on it, the label is red and the sprayer is vaporisateur natural spray.
As for Ho hang club- it was launched as the first masculine balenciaga perfume in 1987 after Bogart bought the rights for the perfumes of house balenciaga. originally it was named "club de balenciaga", then changed to ho hang club.
bottle and label is black, and all 3 versions I mentioned has the cylinder shape.
Thanks for that! My bottle actually says le club de ballenciaga! I love that fragrance 👍
@@RamseytheRam I smelled club de balenciaga one time 8 years ago at an old perfumery (now closed unfortunately). Don't remember the smell, but it striked me as a totally different smell than my beloved Ho Hang, so I didn't buy it (too bad, it was so cheap...)
Really? I thought thet were supposed to be the same fragrance ?? 😳
@@RamseytheRam There are 2 articles on fragantica about ho hang, and ho hang club. They are totally different perfumes, not done by the same nose.
Perhaps they tried to ride on the success of ho hang which is a classic, and that's why they changed the name from club de balenciaga using similar bottle design.
Keep it! That’s the price.
Sigh i wanted to pay 92 bucks for 60ml which is what i thought I was getting but whatever I am to lazy to return it and if I return it I aint gonna buy another one lol
@@RamseytheRam just keep it. I’m bidding and it will be the same. Just pay….
Does anyone know why they have discontinued it? or if it will be for some time? If anyone knows, if it return, could you tell me by this means please? I've looked for it everywhere here in Australia and it says it's out of sale!
Which version are you hunting for ???

One of the greatest perfumes of all time 💪💪💪
hey Ramsey i need your help, today i traveled from connecticut to new york pick up 2 bottles of Yves saint laurent opium, one says pour homme and the other bottle is the one in question if is a female or male fragrance, it is a red box with fern looking leafs, with dark navy blue trim on the bottom, tomorrow is mothers day and i wanted to know if i can gift her it, i did some research from box code but is sealed, and it is a gucci-ppr era, but i couldn't figure out if is a male or female fragrance. thanks
also one bottle of fendi uomo which you discussed in your favorite leathers video, also in question what year or batch i have after punching in, same bottle as yours, it says FP.D P.PARMA
I really need to see a picture.. my email is in the description of all my videos shoot me an email with a pucture if you would 🤜🤛🏻
Gotta compare your Youth Dew with some more vintage Cinnabar. Both Estée Lauder.
I dont own cinnebar 🥺
@@RamseytheRam not saying this week, but vintage Cinnabar is the 5th of the four you repped today.
I will for sure put it on the "to sniff list" 😊
To be honest- when i had the luck to get a vintage opium and the Version with the ruffled glass-the big Version with the fire extinguisher sprayer, i thought i got a fake perfume. I smelled left arm,right arm,left arm,right arm and was sure the gucci Version MUST be a fake perfume but after a while only smelling this Version i could slowly detect the opium inside the aldehydic fog.
😂😂😂
I know what you mean... i have come to appreciate them both... but they do come off a bit different... thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
@@RamseytheRam thats right!, i love them too. Both create a very pleasent aura and warm spicy scent clouds. Only the side by side smelling is surprising to the nose🤣😂🤣😂. I get vintage what about adam(joop),vintage homme(joop),vintage good life(davidoff), and vintage roma uomo(laura biagotti) im very excited!! And the pure opium perfume extract should also arrive this week. Last week i got the old,old Real musk based Version of obsession for her. I cant describe this heavenly scent. Two 3,5ml pure perfume bottles.

Bit late to the party, your bottle from 1977 have 80• alcohol or 73• ? The one with built in sprayer from Mercari. Please respond me
80⁰
@@RamseytheRam thanks a lot. I’ve found recently a bottle that have 73* alcohol edt. Still from 1980. I think that might be even more potent or just different formulation. There’s to many variations with this vintage parfume
@@margi92i There was no Opium YSL bottles with 73, only 80. Just read Raiders of the Lost Scent: Opium, the Greatest.
@@RamseytheRam A very interesting review! 👍
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Just wore my original 1978 Estee Lauder Cinnabars and I think it's probably quite similar to this and Youth Dew. I've heard it described as such many times. I can still smell it 24hrs later. My first impression is,
Cinnamon
Cloves
Black pepper
Black cumin(not the farty, BO kind)
Caraway seeds
Aldehydes
Fenel bulbs
Carnation
Rose
Violet flower
Beeswax
Orris root
Cinnamon
Incense
Tolu balsam
Vanilla
Sounds amazing 😁
