No.028 Opium EDP

Which Should You Buy?
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.
Eden's No.028 reaches for Opium's opulent spicy-oriental structure - carnation and jasmine over a patchouli-amber base - and gets the broad strokes right, but comes across noticeably lighter and less velvety than YSL's dense original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
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
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.
Seasons
A dense spicy-amber oriental reads best against cold air; it can feel heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Elegant and rich enough for formal events and date nights; too intense and old-world for casual or office wear.
