We have had an upgrade. There are lots of things to fix (review and wardrobe log-ins), but wanted to get things going again. See more in this blog post.

   |  I love Opium! it smells, as somone else has noted, like a woman's perfume - not for little girls! whenweariing it I feel mysterious and sultry. 05 November 2009 |
 | I love the smell of Opium. However I think it is too sober, too mature for me. It is a beautiful classic fragrance. I especially love the amber and the myrrh in it. It is truly unique. 02 November 2009 |
 |  Oh god, I literally felt like this perfume had a death grip on my throat. I thought I might suffocate. However, I have noticed this perfume on other women who managed to pull it off quite beautifully. It is very old-fashioned, and I think it is best reserved for those who are at least 40 years of age...23 October 2009 |
  | I really love this fragrance and I do wear it. My friends think my taste in scent is so strange and yet I am always being told how wonderful I smell where as my male friends all wear the same scent which always changes depending on what is the newest scent, and the only comments they get are "whatever you're wearing you have too much on." :) I can't help but think of the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt when I smell Opium so opulent and ever present. I've been told how unusual it is for someone my age to appreciate the perfumes I do and how nice it is that I do. And unlike my friends I know how much to spray on. 13 August 2009 |

| I like this perfume, it is a very sensual perfume and very sexy, but I do believe that this perfume wears you, you do not wear this perfume, I came to this realization when I was riding the bus this morning, a lady was wearing it, so I thought why is it so identifiable? It doesn't change with your chemistry, it doesn't become you. Its liek an accessory that you overpowers the rest of you..LOL there is my 2 cents 03 August 2009 |
 | AHHHH Opium. How lovely you are. Just like the drug, you are intoxicating and addictive. I am not a fan of "girly" scents. I love the powerful scents that mean business. Even after 32 years on the market, this scent still screams "OBEY ME." Not for the playful type of gal. This is for the lady that knows how to demand what she wants. 01 August 2009 |
