About

Opium Secret de Parfum opens with a fleeting whisper of bergamot and mandarin before diving headfirst into a rich, resinous heart. Myrrh and opoponax weave a warm, balsamic tapestry, softened by indolic jasmine and the intriguing herbal touch of marigold. The base settles into a deeply ambered patchouli and vanilla, creating a comforting yet impactful sillage that lingers for ages. It's a narcotic delight, less spiky than its predecessor but equally captivating.
