I'm looking for something similar to the womens Opium but more modern. Designer only please.

edit: would TF Black Orchid fit the bill? They have similar notes.

Try Chanel Coco, Estee Lauder Cinnabar or Donna Karan Black Cashmere. Others that are similar are Estee Lauder Youth Dew, Guerlain Shalimar or Vivienne Westwood Boudoir. I wouldn't call Cinnabar or Youth Dew modern though. Coco is probably your best bet.

The current Opium is watered down from its previous self, so it could work. Other than that, perhaps Spicebomb?

I was going to say Cinnabar too but it's heavier. I used to wear these two, then moved to Dune and 24 Faubourg. Vivien westwoods boudoir is worth a try. None of these are similar exactly but you may like them too. I'm not sure i've smelled much in the way of Opium in many frags come to think of it. I will dwell on it.

I was wearing something just the other day that reminded me of Opium, but I can't remember. I'll keep thinking about it.

I don't find Black Orchid to be similar to Opium at all.
