Opium Eau D'ete Summer Fragrance

This is a delicate more lighter sister of the original Opium with it's pepper notes incense benzoin Opopponox bitter balsem woods and coriander. this version can be worn anytime then the original. the opening has the same scent as the predacessor but it's silage does'nt last long like the first one and it fades very quickly on my skin. maybe because of my chemistry or it a vital sample. but netherless i prefer the originial.

I found my Opium, finally! Not as expensive and selective as pure perfume, and not as heavy as Opium EDT, it reminds me of the base notes of regular Opium.It is so convenient - I don`t have to wait for hours anymore...It is more lemony, more fresh and oh so lovely. On my skin it smells like burning aromatic firewood - warm and smokey. I never thought it is possible to achieve this scent in perfume.

A limited edition that my mum bought me when I was younger. It was so different scent than any other I knew. I immediately fell in love. It didn't have the heaviness of Opium, it was nice, warm, slightly powdery. I loved it. It's gone and I haven't smelled it since then. I miss it.

At last I have my opium for summer and work environment. I can feel there opium, of course much lighter but luckily it has still its character which I love so much. I was looking for it for a long time and I have finally found it and I am really happy about it.

This Opium flanker is one that I got in a trade with another Fragrantican, thinking it was something else. It starts out with a blast of synthetic and generic drugstore-perfume smelling notes, but once these go away it’s a light, pleasant, citrusy scent with a hint of soap, spice and caramel. I suppose the spice comes from the carnation accord and the caramel from a dairy-heavy jasmine accord plus vanilla. Pretty soon the creamy jasmine takes over, but in a well-behaved way. I don’t detect the “burning firewood” note mentioned by other reviewers. To me, it’s mostly a soft jasmine. It has lots of sillage, maybe because I sprayed it instead of doing my usual dab from the bottle. It lasts a few hours, then gradually tapers off. I like it much better than I expected to, but it probably won’t become one of my regulars since there are other jasmines that I like better.
