Eden Perfumes No.028 Opium is an Eau de Parfum. No.028 Opium opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Lily of the Valley, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Carnation, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Opoponax. Eden Perfumes's No.028 Opium carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opium is one of the great spicy orientals, and this dupe takes an honest run at its layered structure: a bright citrus and lily of the valley opening leads into a floral heart of carnation and jasmine, intertwined with a touch of myrrh, before settling into a base built on patchouli, opoponax, amber and vanilla. That progression genuinely mirrors the original's arc from fresh to warm to enveloping. The gap opens up in richness - where YSL's Opium is famously dense and velvety, practically a fur coat in scent form, Eden's rendition feels comparatively airy and less saturated, with the spice notes reading more delicate than intoxicating. It is still an elegant, evening-appropriate fragrance well suited to special occasions or a confident date-night choice, just without quite the same room-commanding presence as the original bottle. Best worn in cooler months when its amber-spice character has the right backdrop.
