Petra

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.
Petra is a grown-up amber-fruity treat, doing the Coco Mademoiselle thing but with far more depth and a luxurious, playful edge. It's a polarizing beast for some, but generally lauded as a sophisticated compliment-getter.

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
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its strong projection and rich, resinous character make it less suitable for the office and sports. However, its sophisticated warmth and sensual depth are perfect for dates and evening formal events, while still versatile enough for a confident casual wear.
