- Is Opium better as an eau de parfum or eau de toilette?
- The eau de parfum is denser and longer-lasting than the eau de toilette, with a heavier amber and spice base. Choose the EdT if you want a lighter version of the same scent.
- How many sprays should I use?
- One or two sprays are enough for most people, since it projects strongly. Overspraying is the most common complaint.
- Is it suitable for daytime or office wear?
- It is usually worn in the evening or in cold weather. In a close office or hot weather it can be too heavy for people around you.
- Is this the original Opium or a reformulation?
- It is the current version of the classic 1977 scent. Some longtime wearers say older bottles smelled richer, though the spicy oriental character is still there.
- Who is it aimed at?
- It is marketed as a women's fragrance, but the spicy amber profile is worn by anyone who likes bold orientals.
