    Review for the original EDP (1990’s):
    This is the smell of a mysterious man who prepares medicines, incenses, and poisons for the emperor of an Ancient Chinese dynasty… He is highly revered, but also greatly feared, even by the emperor. Pungent spices, sulfurous fruits, black resins, honey, and woods… His silk robes are permeated with these odors. It is the hypnotic smell of a healer, a sensualist, and a secret assassin, all at once.

    All the positive reviews you’ve read below this one? They are all true. This is rich, polished, spicey, superbly blended, elegant, and harkens to the past but remains firmly in today. Just gorgeous.
    Not as sweet or synthetic as Jaipur Homme, and much richer and more sumptuous that Tom Ford Noir. Totally unisex, and a perfect flanker to the original Opium.
    This is not a sillage monster, although it has presence for sure.
    This is a review of the older refillable blue-bottle version. Hunt it down and buy it.

    Absolutely love this, YSL Do still make the EDP but in limited amounts, it’s available from Escentual and some other sites (UK)
    It retails at around £70 but I purchased mine for £59 on special offer.
    It seems to have been reformulated but is still very much like the original EDP, lasts a long time, one light spray on my arm at 11.30am and at 22:42 I can still smell it and I’m getting wafts every so often, the original formulation in the blue refillable bottle is still better performing though, the newer formulation does last long but it whispers after a few hours although on clothing it just seems to hang on in there. The new formulation is still worthy of repeat purchases as it’s still a classic scent. Thankfully it has not been ruined but I have heard that there’s only a certain production amount per year and YSL website it states it is a luxury variant now.
    It’s summer now so my new bottle will be saved for winter time.
    Also I’m 31 and have been wearing this since I was 25, it’s certainly not an old man smell but a classic. If you don’t want to smell like everyone else does then give this a try.
    I’ve gone through loads of various types of fragrances, from the likes of JOOP at the very start of my fragrance journey right the way to the likes of Guerlain and Dior and obviously Opium. I could never wear JOOP now though

    Ebay is usually a good source as long as there are enough pictures to authenticate it.

    Nowadays is so difficult to get a original refillable bottle of Opium pour homme edp.
    I found mine in a brick and mortar perfumery two years ago. Then I was looking for a summer fragrance, so I couldn’t spend a lot of money and I didn’t buy it then.
    I always regreted that decision, so two years later, I came back to the shop and that gem was still there (there was only one bottle) and then blindly buy it.
    To say the truth, the perform of this was not as stronger as I spect. Maybe it’s bacause of my oily skin or maybe the aging affected the diffusive top notes, but longevity is far superior to newest editions.
    At this moment is very hard to get it online at accurate prices, since it has rised to really madness.
    Previously I have been using opium pour homme EDT, but I always find it very harsh at the beginning because of black currant high dosage.
    The EDP its sober and comforting because of it sweet spicyness due to the increase of tolu balsam concentration and thus the rebalance of all the components.
    It makes me feel comforting, posh and charming. I love It.

    Recently happened upon a bottle of the new EDP and it’s a very beautiful fragrance. Deep, rich and smooth, it’s a dense oriental with niche refinement and a heavenly layer of woody sweetness. It is very strong too and if oversprayed would be somewhat cloying and unpleasant. 1 spray is the way, with a suitable dress code as this is not a casual scent. Perfect though for a mature/manly guy who can really ‘carry’ it, it could smell very metrosexual on a young hipster. It’s flamboyant but sober and comforting too, needs age and strength to ‘make it happen.’
    Beautiful composition, I always wanted the vintage EDP but never found it, so this new formulation will suffice.
    Royal, sensual & exquisite 5*

    i have both the edp and the edt from the Sanofi era. i dont know if the edp with the blue cover is discontinued but i heard is not available in most of countries. i never smelled the current formulations but if opium now is on the shelves with a cheap price something’s going wrong, because the vintage versions were dense and rich, and the prices were not so cheap, edp in particular.
    regarding the scent,vintage edp and edt are basically the same, the edt is a little bit lighter and the edp is slightly boozier but the scent is not so different. i prefer the edp for the density and richness but old edt is on the same level, buy it if u can. the fragrance is very oriental, i love the spicy and vanilla notes and i want to point out that opium is not a “beast”, it has a great performance but is smooth, elegant, exotic, classy in the same time. nothing intrusive or “kourosy” in this juice. and another thing: it’s not a 90’s scent, is definitely out of time, a “universal parfume”. i have to say it can be used by women because it’s masculine but close to the unisex side. i hope the current formulations are great as the older versions. seasons: winter and fall. occasions: nightout, dates. age: 25-30 and up. l’oriente in bottiglia!
    scent: 9
    longevity:8,5
    sillage: 8
    versatility:7,5
    uniqueness: 9
    bottle: 8 with the blue cover
    my vote: 9
    in one word: orient

    I really love the edp, but the old bottle was much cooler. I’d also like to see it in 100ml, but it IS strong and it DOES last. It reminds me a bit of the 80’s, even though it’s 90’s. A powerful concoction and well worth the £65 I paid for it in John Lewis.

    Opium pour homme edp is a little bottle only comes in 50ml. But trust me it’s a monster that little bottle should literally last you years. Very deep very intense 2 sprays max.
    Ps
    Only use in cooler months in warmer months it’s horrible. In cooler months literally heavenly.

    For sure EDP > 100 times > EDT.
    EDP is much richer than EDT in every aspect.

    let me open with…
    This has become my signature scent, finally found one.
    not every one can pull this off, surprisingly, i can!
    i have to remind you guys that this one is strong but i believe it doesnt slap you in the face cause of it warmth.
    its strange cause i quite dislike one million (the cinnamon/immature sweet that appears after a while) this one is also kinda sweet but because of the right amount of (lets say) ”woody vibe” it becomes warm and gentleman
    there is a kind of poison/opium/sharpie-like extract in there what some people pherhabs may not like, it gives it the umph what this one needs to be a true signature scent.
    al the people talking about winter and summer scents are sometimes so tiring. when a scent matches you as a person – you can wear it all day all night all year long.!!!
    however, i can imagine in summer you would like to smell more fresh.
    btw: dont worry about the new bottle, the scent has only gotten stronger over time !
    original – 10/10
    scent – 10/10
    sillage – 10/10
    projection-10/10
    MASTERPIECE
    LOVE LOVE LOVE

    I own Opium Pour Homme EDT, which I used to hate because it’s not an easy fragrance, but after a second chance, I rediscovered how great and luxurious it smells!
    I’ve never seen Opium Pour Homme EDP being sold in my country, but I can figure it’s more concentrated, boozier, and richer–I wish I would be able to get, at least, a decant of this voluptuous, intoxicating juice.
    For now, I’m going to enjoy my EDT, and let’s hope I can find some of the infamous EDP to know more about this oriental spicy legend. Cheers!

    Opium EdP is a masterpiece. So much better than the EdT version. I had a bottle some years ago and today I bought a new one. It’s still the same scent but stronger than ever before. Beast mode projection and lasts for days on the skin. Even after the shower still very present. Sillage bomb. Performance monster. Probably the most powerful scent in the world and pure asia style.
