I like this scent in theory. I have it in EDT and Parfum, and the newer Shanghai floral Opium scent. Unfortunately, while I love the spiciness of these scents, they all turn to a dusty scent on...

This is my sex-scent. Whenever i put Opium on, I just know...something dangerous is gonna happen. Very sexy, spicy, deliciously warm and inviting. Sex in a bottle, I'd say.

This is my special-occasion scent.. expensive, but well worth it if I want to feel sexy, womanly, and a bit naughty. I have no idea why anyone would call this "old-ladyish"... unless they prefer...

Not a nice smell for me. It reeks of Old Spice. I have not found a man who like it, either.

This is what my grandmother has worn for the last 20 years. Other than the fact that I associate it with her, I can't stand it. To me, it has a generic soapy kind of smell, and it definitely...

For me this fragrance is one of the classics like Shalimar or Chanel 5. None of the mentioned perfumes I can actually wear, they are just not me so to say, but I completely understand what great...

First of all, this is not a 1980s fragrance. Opium was launched in 1977, and it is a perfume of the late 1970s. The Opium ads of that day projected the same sexy exotic abandon that lovers of Dior...

Very nice. Refined and complex. Starts off spicy and fruity, then spicy floral, and finishing with a warm, ambery balsamic and resinous accord. The spices are muted, not too spicy. No real florals...

Hoo boy, couldn't wash this off fast enough. Sort of a burning rubber smell that may very well smell exactly like an Opium den at the choking height of it's evening stench. I think the name is pure...

I just received Opium as a gift today, and I have it on and I do like it (only takes 1-2 sprays to last ALL DAY, a major plus) but it is really a bit too woodsy/old school smelling for me. I...

I had a guy tell me once that I smelled like sex when I was wearing Opium. I wasn't sure then if it was a compliment or not, but I've always remembered that comment. I've come to be more sure of...

I adore Opium. I wore this for years, and keep a bottle around just for nostalgia. Unfortunately, this no longer lasts on me, it just fades away or perhaps it's just my nose. I especially loved...

I used to be lemming this. Luckily I did test it before ordering it from somewhere. It is a really longlasting fragrance. It smells lovely first when you spray it on.... then it turns to old...

Frankly, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing Opium, lovely bottle nonwithstanding. Not if I can help it. No offense meant to all those charming ladies who wear it well - my body just hates it. It...

Although I am a die hard fan of "white florals" when it comes to fragrances, I make an exception with YSL's Opium (which is about as far removed from the "white florals" group as a scent can get!)....

I believe Opium deserves a better review than any of the other fragrances I've tried to describe so far. Why, you ask? Well, because Opium is not "just a fragrance", it's much more than that....
