Opium Eau D'ete Summer Fragrance 2004

Very strong , lasts for a full day and is tolerable in the sun because of the nice citrusy atmosphere it Adds to the Original 1977 Opium. Otherwise they’re very similar. But this for sure is more of a year rounder than a just for summer fragrance. If you like opium you will like this as well they are very very similar. Basically Opium in a summer outfit

I agree with KI that there are too many Opiums (I'm also tired of reformulations but that's another story). THIS opium (Summer 2004) I really like--far better than the original. I found Summer 2004 opium at the duty free when I was traveling in '04. It is oriental and spicy, yet not too overwhelming. It is certainly more delicate and subtle than the original opium (though "delicate" and "subtle" are not the right words to describe summer opium, which is sort of strong). I have the original (full strength parfum), which I'm not comfortable wearing in public because it's so overpowering as to offend some noses and send the wrong message about its wearer.

i get citruses and a ton of myrrh and some patchouli, amber and vanilla. so pretty. i have a vintage sample vial of original opium and have been trying to track down a reasonably priced bottle for awhile. then i found a partial bottle of this in a thrift store, figuring i'd like this one too. it's gorgeous and is lighter (from memory) but i want to try them side by side.

Cel'ho ancora e ricordo che nel suo tester c'era come nota anche il caffè in plvere- E si sente,questo odore secco che da alla fragranza un vago sentore bruciato.

I received this last week from Ebay although it was advertized as Opium EDT. Having now tried it, I really love it. I don't detect many citrussy notes but I find it warm and spicy with real summer scents such as woodsmoke and almost quite incense like. I am still getting to know it and there are some notes in there I recognize but haven't quite decided what they are yet. I am now determined to buy more of this as it just really suits me. IMHO it is the next best thing to the original Opium!
