    If you like the original Opium, you will be very disappointed with this. All it shares with the original is the name; instead of a unique and beautiful spicy Oriental, it's a cheap fruity-floral...

    I used to adore the original Opium in the 80's. But I have gone through phases in what I liked in fragrance. I haven't worn Opium in years and tried it on a few days ago- and whew! Strong and...

    In these "sensitive" days, perfume is expected to be non-invasive, non-offensive, non-in-your-face, etc. In short, non-perfume. Also, there are women who seem to be absolutely TERRIFIED of...

    I took a trip to Kicks after I'd spent 25 relaxing minutes tanning. There I found this Belle d'Opium and fell in love straight away. I hate fruity, girly, icky-sweet scents like most celebrities...

    I actually really like this; I've never cared for the original Opium, and this is like a breath of fresh air for me. Sultry but not overpowering. Mysterious and sexy but not cloying. The only...

    I have loved Opium since it came out and have all the Opiums, the summer ones are nice and a little lighter, I got this one because it was in the Opium family, pretty bottle others list the notes,...

    First of all, I want to say that I will judge this perfume on its own merit and not in comparison to the original Opium. It is not a bad perfume. Incense and pepper is what I mostly get with...

    Beautiful bottle but what a boring smell. I've tested it a few times, trying to force myself to like it but alas I cannot. It doesn't seem to have any top notes, it's all base - somewhat warm and...

    Beautiful bottle, ad campaign, heritage...boring, blah mish mash of a scent on my skin. This is one of those fragrances that was orchestrated to smell wonderful on paper...so much so that I bought...

    I can't say I like this at all. It seems to have an identity crisis as though there are too many notes fighting for dominance and none win, or like when you mix too many colours and end up with a...

    Got this as a sample from Karstadt. The smell is so obnoxious. There are heavy perfumes, which you might dislike personally, but are still somewhat wearable speaking in general (e.g. "Obsession" by...

    Belle d'Opium did not really disappoint me, but that's only because the ad campaign provided all the clues I needed to figure out what the scent would be all about. The most I was hoping for was to...

    I love the smell of this...on me it smells like incense. It's smoky, spicy, woodsy,dark and sensual. The staying power is amazing, but it gives me a headache. I sadly had to return it

    I think this perfume smells beautiful. There's a note that reminds me of something... I'm not sure what it is, I can't place it. But it hits me on a personal level which is why I think I love it so...

    Hey, why are you so harsh? Is the heritage of this perfume's name really that deeply laden? Apart from being a distant relative of Opium only and therefore having to be judged as a whole different...

    Don't get attracted by the imaginative adds of this fragrance, otherwise you'll experience a big dissapointment. Heavy, old-styled, boring fragrance.
