How it wears

Opium Parfum

We show Opium Parfum the way buyers actually read scent, rather than as a note pyramid. The shape of each curve is our estimate of how long that note lasts, not a measurement of this bottle. Built on the published research of Kateřina Milatová (Jönköping University, 2025). How this works

The old top-heart-base pyramid, replaced with how each note actually rises and fades over the wear

Each lane is one note. The band shows when it is doing the most work, and the hours are our estimate of how long it lasts rather than a measurement of this bottle.

Asked to picture a scent, people reached for places, not abstract shapes

Feels like

Winter evenings, on date nights

People reason in opposites - and trust themselves most about what a scent is not

What it is, and what it is not

  • Fresh Sweet

    Leans sweet - more sugar than air

  • Light Heavy

    Leans heavy - woods, musk and spice carry it

  • Summer Winter

    Leans winter - warmer and better in the cold
