Opium Pour Homme Eau de Toilette

A classic oriental-spicy fragrance with a fruity aromatic opening, a warm peppery heart, and a creamy balsamic-woody drydown. Best suited to cool weather and evening wear, where its spice and sweetness can project without feeling heavy.

Scent Development and Character

A vivid oriental-spicy scent that opens with black currant and star anise for a fruity, aromatic sparkle, then moves into pepper and galanga for a warm, lively spice. The drydown settles into creamy vanilla, balsamic tolu balsam, and dry cedar, creating a sensual but polished trail.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to cool weather and evening wear, where its spice and sweetness can project without feeling heavy. It reads as confident and intimate rather than fresh or transparent. Best in cool weather, especially autumn and winter. Sillage is Moderate projection with a noticeable but controlled trail. Longevity is Moderate to long-lasting, roughly 6-8 hours on skin.

Perfumer and Bottle

Released in 1995, this is presented as Eau de Toilette and credited to Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. A deep-toned, dark glass spray bottle with a simple, elegant silhouette; the packaging emphasizes a mysterious, classic masculine feel rather than ornamentation.
