    People seem to be pretty much polarized on OPIUM, and I've found that to be true among my friends & relatives, too (some of the MUA reviewers find it "old-fashioned," and hey, if your mother or...

    I loved the initial smell of this perfume...it seemed nice and spicy and exotic. I put some on, and the drydown was very disappointing to me...it smelled overly cinnamon-spicy-powdery. To further...

    I love this perfume. My mother used to wear it when I was little and it brings back so many memories. It's very strong, so I only wear a tiny bit on my wrists in the evening if I'm going out. I...

    I love it on my mum and grandma, but for me it smells too strong and overpowering. For whatever reason it gave me a headache when wearing it and I only applied it gently and lightly to my wrists....

    I've worn this since I was 16. Only at night, but it's my favorite evening perfume. I've tried others, but this one is just "me". If I'm desperate to have this scent during the day, I use the...

    It has a very strong cinnamon smell on me. It is so annoying! I really don't like cinnamon, so I also don't like this perfume. Of course it is very unique, I never smell any similar.

    It took a long time for me to embrace Opium. As much as I've always been drawn to spicy Orientals, Opium always seemed to be way too much of a good thing. I could never get used to the intensity...

    I like it, it's got Ooomph. It *can* be too much of a good thing, but every once in a while, applied sparingly, it's sugar and spice and everything nice. [Oriental - Spicy. Date of creation: 1977....

    I've only tried this out on testers at the mall and my first thought was infected vagina. I like oriental scents sometimes, but not this one --- way too heavy and old ladylike for me. Maybe good if...

    I wore this for my first boyfriend during my college years. He loved it. I didn't. Heady sophisticated mysterious oriental...hahaha, so NOT me. However, I can't give it a total thumbs down. It is...

    On the right person this would smell good. On me, I think it smells like body odor. It is a very calming earthy fragrance, but this is just not right on me.

    This is such a wonderful perfume, although it's probably one of the most recognizable scents around anywhere. There is no other perfume like this one but on the other hand it seems quite popular...

    I was using it much in autumn. Like everyday perfume. It`s a sad, calm, woody, relexing scent. For some reason when I just started to use my bottle the scent was too spicy - I felt like sneezing...

    Opium was very popular when I was a pre-teen and teenager, so I think I kind of like it just for nostalgia's sake. I recently tried it again and found it to be surprisingly nice. It's spicey and...

    I always smell this on ladies & instantly know what it is. During winter several ladies wear this perfume. I do like it on other people but it's too strong for me to wear all day. I think it's...

    Opium is one of my alltime favourites, although I seldom use it during daytime. It is well balanced, spicy and very alluring. I feel intoxicated whenever I smell it - perfume doesn't come any...

    Opium is being advertised again, probably to market towards the hip youngsters who are clad in retro 1980's YSL outfits. Is it going to make it back on beauty shelves? No. It is just too old, too...
