    I haven't worn this fragrance in years. I'll be honest, in high school I bought it just because I liked the name. It evoked the mystery and exoticism of the Far East. When I first smelled the...

    Opium is a lavish, mysterious fragrance that makes me think of glamorous Hollywood stars from old black and white films. It wears well on me and never fails to elicit compliments from the opposite...

    I've been wearing this since 1982. Love it. Love the opium body oil even better especially in winter, and the body powder in summer. Love it! It has this sexiness and complexity to it that I don't...

    I am a perfume obsessive with 100+ bottles but time and time again I keep coming back to Opium. Why? It could be the carnation (a favourite note of mine) that is so expertly blended with other...

    Hands down, aside from some simple essential oils, this is MY perfume. I know it's "old school" and all that, from other posts here, but so what? A woman of style will choose what suits her,...

    My mum wears this and my grandmother did too. So whenever I smell it, I think of dark Parisian smoking rooms and Ava Marie Saint in Hitchcock films. It's also got a sorta hint of regal sourness...

    I'm kinda biased against it because it smells EXACTLY like my sadistic high school science teacher..so I associate it with bad memories of a half-crazy man who'd go out, smoke a few cigarettes,...

    Just a gorgeous fragrance, an oriental classic (so many imitators over the years, yet none comes close; how do you improve on pure perfection?). The only complaint I have is that it has been so...

    I received this from my mom for my high school graduation. I love the deep, woodsy, oriental scent. This fragrance transports me to a place of calmness, serenity, and satisfaction.

    I re-purchased this after over a decade hiatus. The 1st time I used this I was 19 or 20 and it was WAY too much for me at that time. It was too "deep." I have no idea what I did with that...

    This review is for Parfum and Body Creme. Parfum - gorgeous though like being in a hot, spicy, incensy temple high in the mountains, wearing a silk brocade robe. Decadent and deep. Do not...

    I understand the wide range of reviews here, Opium is certainly not for everyone. I have always enjoyed the spicy, warm scent of it though, I wore it a lot in the early to mid 90's. I haven't...
