I was lucky enough to purchase a half bottle of this off NZ's version of ebay. I was going to wear it just twice a year to honour my mother on her birth and death days. Her signature perfume was...

I was loving the drydown from the original Opium but never bought a bottle because it was too heavy, dark on me the first couple of hours. I searched on MUA for a lighter but similar scent and...

Thirty years ago, the original Opium kicked off a mania for Orientalism that swept the runways and accessories and fragrance counters. Opium was essentiallly a very dry carnation scent that was...

This is so beautiful! I have small decants of both this and Opium Poesie de Chine, having never sniffed the original Opium. Whenever I spray this side by side with PdC, I always initially love...

My very first opium purchase... I have always loved this scent and remember one of mom's friends always wearing this when she came to visit. So I've always wanted to get a bottle but because I live...

So glad I discovered this before the bottles disappeared from the planet. This was a limited edition summer version of Opium from 2005. I have little experience with Opium, but this one stands on...

What a wonderful interpretation of Opium! I like this variation because long after the drydown, the florals linger, giving Shanghai and edge that the others do not have. It definitely weilds...

If I can find it again, I will definitely buy it! It smells heavenly...I never thought I am a Opium person. I have heard a lot about how strong and loud it is... But Fleur de Shanghai is so...

Fleur de Shanghai is a perfectly constructed perfume. It beautifully balances the floral and spice notes to create an exotic aura that is intoxicating - literally. I can't get enough of it. It's...

I really like the original, but have never been able to quite pull it off myself. My mom on the other hand, smells divine wearing this. So now with Fleur de Shanghai I too can feel the same sense...

After reading ayala's fabulous description I had high expectations and so I purchased a bottle of FLEUR DE SHANGHAI. The fragrance smells beautiful, well-balanced and comes very close to the...

Sometimes, it is more difficult to write a review about a perfume you love. But sometimes a thing of beauty does not need any more words to describe it in order to convince one of its beauty. This...

Lightier, more floral version of the original. It also has a touch more sweetness and less spice. I think I like if better than the orginal.

I like this version better than the original Opium: it's more toned-down and effeminate. For some reason, the smell of undiluted opium makes me think of soap, which bothers me, and Fleur de...

It's beautiful. And it's perfect for me, because it has all the beauty of Opium without that sneaky carnation note. Everytime I get a whiff of Fleur de Shanghai, I feel energized and happy. I like...

Don't be fooled, when you read the notes for this: Mandarin orange, chinese magnolia, star jasmine and vanilla. Sounded good to me, but was a bit cautious, since the original Opium is very...

This is a lovely summery rendition of Opium. I love it, but if you don't like the original then this is not for you - it has many of the same notes even though it is a softer, more floral version....
