Scent Story
Opium opens with a rich tapestry of spicy fruits—mandarin, plum—and spices like clove, coriander, and pepper, set against citrusy brightness. The heart blooms with lush, deep florals—jasmine, rose, lily-of-the-valley, carnation, accented by warm peach, cinnamon and orris root—for an opulent floral core. In the dry-down, luxurious woods and resins—sandalwood, cedar, myrrh, opoponax, labdanum, benzoin—combined with amber, musk, patchouli, tolu balsam, and vetiver anchor the scent in a smoky, sensual trail that lingers long into the night.

Best for evening wear or colder weather—fall and winter especially. Ideal for special occasions, glamorous events, or moments when you want your perfume to leave a strong, memorable impression. Pairs beautifully with dark outfits, luxurious fabrics like velvet or silk, and makeup that enhances bold elegance.
