Count, did you really do this?
"Opium pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent
Though the title above states that it was released in 1995, I was introduced to Opium Pour Homme back in 1987. I was then still in undergraduate school. At the time, my favorite mens cologne was incontestably Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. For one reason or another, Opium then smelled awfully close to the actual opium flower, not so any more when I was reintroduced to it. Now it smells extremely sweet and has no resemblance to the aroma of the Opium flower. I am certain it has undergone reformulation.
Women, young and mature alike, still express extreme adulation when smelling Opium pour Homme on a man. Yet I find it way too sweet to accept it as a masculine fragrance, so I decided to experiment a little in order to keep it rather than discard it.
I purchased a 100 ml bottle of Opium and another 100 ml bottle of Kouros. As we know, both of them are by Yves Saint Laurent, and the two are totally different from one another as far as perfumes can possibly be different. Kouros is well known to be one of the epitomes of masculine fragrances, in fact it is considered to be the quintessential masculine fragrance.
I then poured the two into an empty 400 ml perfume atomizer bottle and added 200 ml of 200-proof pharmaceutical-grade pure ethanol and mixed them thoroughly.
What I ended up with is pure magic. The 100% by volume dilution added to the mixture of Opium and Kouros made one of the best eau de cologne I have ever experienced. The result was a lighter fragrance than the sum of both, masculine enough to satisfy a mans perception of a fragrance, yet sexy enough to appeal to every woman that has encountered it. Womens comments, which are a very good guide to the acceptability of a mans fragrance, have been extremely flattering.
So, if you came across Opium and didnt like its excessive sweetness, and came across Kouros and didnt like its excessive locker room aroma resemblance, mixing them and diluting the mixture with the same perfume-grade of pure alcohol will result in an unforgettable fragrance experience.
