Our Verdict - Opium Vapeurs de Parfum

This flanker to the legendary Opium is a divisive one. Fans adore its fresh, elegant twist on the original's heavy oriental, praising its summer suitability. Detractors, however, find it lacks the original's punch, calling it forgettable or even unpleasant. You'll either love how it defies its name, or hate it for precisely that reason.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gorgeous! Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Creamy white florals and a warm woody-tobacco base make this especially suited for spring and fall, when the weather highlights both the fresh and cozy elements. It can work in summer evenings but may feel cloying in high heat, and is less suited to deep winter compared to heavier ambers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

The balanced projection and clean floral-woody character make it office appropriate and versatile for daily wear, while the sensuous tobacco-suede drydown adds intrigue for dates. It's too elegant for sport, and just refined enough for semi-formal occasions.

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its lighter, often described as 'fresh' character makes it suitable for office wear, although the subtle spice and amber might lean it more towards a professional or evening setting. The sensual white florals and warm drydown make it an excellent choice for dates, while its versatility allows it for casual wear. It's too refined for sport.
