Opium Eau de Toilette Spray
A bright, spicy oriental floral with citrus sparkle, a warm carnation-jasmine heart, and a smooth amber-vanilla-patchouli drydown. Best suited to cooler weather and evening wear, but the EDT concentration keeps the composition more wearable and less dense than the original richer Opium style.

Opium Eau de Toilette Spray
A bright, spicy oriental floral with citrus sparkle, a warm carnation-jasmine heart, and a smooth amber-vanilla-patchouli drydown. Best suited to cooler weather and evening wear, but the EDT concentration keeps the composition more wearable and less dense than the original richer Opium style.
Scent Development and Character
Opium Eau de Toilette Spray opens with a bright citrus lift and a faint aldehydic sparkle, then settles into a spicy floral heart where jasmine and carnation add warmth and texture. The drydown turns ambery, softly vanilla-sweet, and patchouli-tinged, giving the fragrance its sensual oriental character without feeling heavy.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Best suited to cooler weather and evening wear, but the EDT concentration keeps the composition more wearable and less dense than the original richer Opium style. It is appropriate when you want a noticeable presence with a warm, polished trail. Best for autumn and winter. Sillage is Moderate sillage with a noticeable but not overpowering trail. Longevity is Moderate longevity, around 5-7 hours on skin.
