About Opium
Yves Saint Laurent Opium cologne joined the company's storied fragrance lineup in 1995. Jacques Cavallier, a successful French perfumer, is the nose behind the men's fragrance.
Fragrance Family:
Amber spicy
Scent Type:
Spicy, intense
Notes:
Opium cologne enters with sharp star anise paired with juicy black currant, creating a fresh entrance. As the fragrance develops, the rich, tropical galangal reveals itself to add warmth. The spicy Szechwan pepper base notes, creamy vanilla, cedar and Tolu balsam round out the cologne for a deep, balanced finish.
Suggested Use
For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.

Opium Pour Homme
I haven't tried this yet but used original Opium from the 70's that is masculine in today's standards. This is a retro cologne from the 90's, the time when l wore the tutti frutti floral aquatics when fragrances started to evolve into lighter and sweeter creations. I am sure this is a very good one. I will wear this during Christmas season. I hope l won't be disappointed.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Somewhat feminine at first Spritz but still manly
After a few uses, I came to realize it's more of an evening/night scent. It leaves a bit of a trail and silage when you leave a room but for me it leans toward a more personal scent.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

One word to discribe Opium, magical
I use opium edt on special occasions, it's an all around performer. It took me years to get my hands on another bottle after my first ever bottle ran out in 1997. Finally I found one on clearance sale at my local TJ Max's. One think I would like to say though is that the original is much much stronger and long lasting than the reformulated version.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

One of my favorites
I used this fragrance when it first came out years ago. Walking past a kiosk in the mall about two years ago I was thrilled to find it again and bought it on the spot. Now that bottle is almost gone and the kiosk no longer carries Opium Pour Homme. So the minute I found it on fragrancex I bought it immediately. It is a classy fragrance that no one else wears and I love it.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
