Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opium EDP
A legendary amber oriental - lush, spicy and mesmerizing. Opium Eau de Parfum smolders with resin and vanilla, drawing you in with its magnetic, sophisticated warmth. Not for the faint of heart or the summer sun.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 138 Opiem For Her EDP
No. 138 follows the same spicy-oriental path as YSL's original Opium - carnation and myrrh over patchouli-amber-vanilla - but the resinous depth and animalic warmth of the icon are dialled back, leaving a lighter, sweeter impression.

Season and Occasion Fit

Opium

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Opium Eau de Parfum is resinous, warm spicy and balsamic, making it ideal for cold weather and crisp fall air. The dense amber and rich vanilla are too thick for summer heat but shine in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The bold projection and opulent scent profile make this best for formal evenings, special occasions, or romantic nights out. It's too commanding and sensual for sports or most modern office settings.
