Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opium Pour Homme EDP

A legendary, opulent elixir from a bygone era that still commands absolute adoration. It's a rich, spicy, semi-gourmand masterpiece, but buyer beware - the vintage EDP is the real star here; newer versions have dampened its beastly magic.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Fortis EDP

Luxe Fragrances' Fortis follows Emporio Armani's Stronger With You closely - cardamom and pink pepper into pineapple and sage, closing on vanilla and chestnut. Captures the cozy-spicy signature well in the opening hour, thinner after.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong projection and rich, potent character, Opium Pour Homme EDP isn't suited for office or casual wear. It truly shines on a date or during formal events, where its luxurious, attention-grabbing aura can be fully appreciated without overwhelming others.
