   |  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 cents03 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 |

| I bought Opium when I was 16... I thought it sounded dangerous. The name really irritated my father, which only added to it's attraction for me at that point in my life. I only wore this in the winter, because it just seemed to warm and rich for summer. I haven't smelled it in years, may give it another try. 29 July 2009 |

|  My very first reaction to this fragrance was, "It smells like old perfume from the 50's." It smelled years dated then, and it smells doubly years dated now.12 June 2009 |
 | Opium is a scent which I would like to smell on other people but not on myself. Sort of like a really nice outfit that looks great on someone else but would not look as good on myself. I like the smell. I like it because it doesn't try to be likeable. It's just there. The notes work well together and it it smells put together. I could like it a lot in the right mood. I would maybe wear a hint of this if I wanted to feel dressed up. Smells like a timeless classic to me. 10 June 2009 |
  | This perfume is Magical! It smells different on just about everybody that wears it. My own Mother never cared much for it, but, received the most compliments when she wore it, so, she stuck with it, on her it always had a lively Citrus scent. I always ask what people are wearing and was surprised that this paticular women was wearing Opium and had a very strong residual clove scent. I still assume she was smoking cloves in private, and it wasn't this Cologne. 05 May 2009 |
