- Is Opium a daytime scent?
- Most owners wear it in the evening or in cold weather. The spice and amber are dense enough to feel heavy in heat or at the office.
- How many sprays should I use?
- One or two sprays are usually enough. It projects strongly, and reviewers warn that more becomes cloying.
- How does it compare with Black Opium?
- Opium is a spicy, balsamic oriental with clove and myrrh. Black Opium is a sweeter coffee-and-vanilla gourmand, lighter and more modern in feel.
- Is it suitable for men?
- It is marketed to women, but the spice and amber profile is unisex enough that some men wear it. Sample first if you are unsure.
- Does it come in other sizes?
- Opium eau de parfum is sold in several bottle sizes, including smaller travel-friendly formats. Check the listing for the volume you want.
- Will it suit sensitive skin?
- Spice-heavy fragrances can irritate sensitive skin. Test on a small area before wearing it widely.
- Where is the Yves Saint Laurent Opium Black Red Eau De Parfum cheapest?
- At Gilt, for $129.99, as of our latest check.
