I would have given this fragrance 0 lipsticks if it had been possible. This is not Opium. I have known Opium since I was a child and my mother was sometimes using it, especially when she was...

Old formulation in the rectangular tall bottles was gorgeous, a warm, sensuous fragrance. This new formulation in a the square bottle is so awful, I am now headed off to the bathroom to scrub it...

OMFG!! This is awful. My Mom wore this in the late 70's and 80's, and I always loved it. It was warm, spicy, comforting and mysterious! From what I have read, it has been tweaked, or maybe even...

Oh, Opium. What has happened to you? I remember you as my first perfume awakening. As a 12 year old in Marshall Field's, a lady dressed to the 9's walked past and left you in her path. Men...

How can you NOT love Opium? Opium is like a woman who is always flamboyant, always looking happy, never seen to be miserable, warm, and always has a life of her own. SHe's always out there and off...

Yes, it has been reformulated and it is only a shadow of what it used to be. Shame on YSL and on the perfume industry that keeps doing this regularly to some of the masterpieces of perfumery! But...

Noooooooo! Say it ain't so. This is yet another classic that has been repackaged and REFORMULATED (like Shalimar) beyond recognition. The original was a 5 star classic, the new one is a wimpy...

Opium is the quintessential IN-YOUR-FACE powerhouse oriental, not for the meek and self-conscious. It opens with a conflagration of spice and incense that remains broiling just beneath the surface...

Once upon a time I wore Opium because I thought it smelled spicy and mysterious and sexy. My husband said, "Are you wearing Old Spice?" and I put it in a drawer never to be seen again. The end.

I would imagine that if it had been available, Helen of Troy and Cleopatra would have worn Opium. This is a scent that launches a thousand ships. Men will war over a woman who wears this. Yes,...

Okay this is a very strong scent. I don't even spray it directly on me. What I do is close my bathroom door. Spray a little up into the air in front of me and then quickly walk through the mist as...

Another one of my all-time favourites. This smell is very sexy and quite concentrated as well. I always go for the sultry ones. It's very unique. Always get compliments.

OK, I get that perfume is subjective (actually, guess that's true for all the MUA products!) What smells great to one woman smells awful to another. For me, Opium is in the latter...

In many ways, Opium is more extreme than the gold standard of orientals, Shalimar: the spices are spicier, like film dialogue that positively crackles with wit, though this is not the brave, naked...
