Question I believe some Perfumes can smell quiet different from one person to another due to the oils in their skin etc I'm told - True or False - I'm sure we have all at some time had someone ask what we are wearing and when told they say "it dosn't smell that nice on me!! Just Curious?
- Answer I agree that some perfumes smell quiet different from one person to another. I have known several different women who wore Opium and while there is a subtle difference in the scent from one woman to another, I would say that it is less pronounced with Opium that with many other fragrances by MARK P G 04/17/12
- Answer This formula has been changed. I knew it smelled different when I applied the parfum. I would not have ordered this had I known the formula had changed. It doesn't smell the same at all. I feel that I paid for a product that I did not order. Very, very disappointed. by M Catherine F 04/17/12

- Answer I bought my Opium Parfum from the website, but you can try any major department stores in a mall. Just ask the person behind the counter if they carry this product, and if not, would they know where you could get it. Most are very helpful with stuff like that. by Rachel S 03/22/12
Question I heard Opium was reformulated when the new bottle was introduced. Is this true?
- Answer It still smells the same to be - I've been wearing it for about 20 years. I still love it!! by Frances R 03/05/12
- Answer I don't know for certain, but at least with the Eau de Parfum, it does not seem like they reformulated it. It has the same scent that I have enjoyed for years. by MARK P G 03/05/12
- Answer Sadly to say yes. Opium has been my signature perfume for more years than I care to admit. Last November, I purchased the eau de parfum version direct from YSL. I've always purchased edp or secret de parfum, until that was discontinued. The new bottle has a soapy scent to my nose, and it's not a good addition. Luckily the older version can still be found if you know where to look. by Suzanne R 03/05/12
- Answer I've worn Opium for a long time. I've been wearing the new Opium for about a month. I don't smell a difference. The bottle is cheaper and getting it to always spray nicely is a pain. Since I've worn it for so long, people recognize me by the smell and no one has commented on it, especially not my daughter and she would notice. by Rayelle T 03/05/12
- Answer It does not smell the same. I was very disappointed and will not purchase again. I had been a fan of Opium for at least 25 years, now no longer. by M Catherine F 03/05/12
- Answer I cannot notice a difference in the frangrance. I like the new bottle and am waiting for a splash to be introduced in this new packaging.
I am a long time user and everyone knows it is my signature scent. I get many many compliements on how this scent works on my bio-chemistry. :-) by Marlys A 03/05/12
Question How is this product?
- Answer I had a french boyfriend years ago...his gift was Opium...A year ago I bought the New Opium and I love it...
On my trip to the mall I went to look the the new fragance, but they only had the original version...and ok I purchased...Is sensational!...Pier was his name! by Margarita D 03/21/12
- Answer This product is PHENOMENAL. I love the new design. It lasts a very long time. The scent's deep richness is intoxicating. Most important - the Parfum is the ONLY cologne I will wear. Eau De Toilette just doesn't have the richness of flavor. Everybody asks - especially men - what am I wearing. When I tell them Opium, I've had quite a few either say on the spot that my Opium doesn't smell like that, or come back and challenge me because theirs isn't quite the same. There is a BIG difference. Love, love love it! Many men have bought it for their wives and significant others. Great job YSL! - A Fan in Cincinnati, OH by Malanious G 03/19/12
- Answer It has a sensual smell. Very romantic. I've been wearing it for years. It was my late husband's favorite scent. by Rachel F 03/01/12
- Answer THIS FRAGRANCE IS AWESOME. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS FRAGRANCE FOR YEARS.I HAVE BOUGHT OTHER FRAGRANCES BUT I ALWAYS SEEEM TO
USE OPIUM. IT IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE. by arleen l 02/29/12
- Answer Great! I wear it every day. by Nancy S 02/28/12
Question I adorre Opium Perfume and Have bought it for many years and have contstantly had wonderful comments on it and many men have inquired as to what it was so they can purchase for their wives ( True Story) However - since the New Bottle has come 0ut I think there is definitely a change in the fragrance - Yes it is still stunning - but I think not quite the same as it was before - What has been changed? I have used this perfume for as long as I can remember and because I love it so much My 42 yr old daughter wont buy it for herself as she considers it "Mums Perfume" so I truely have noticed a suttle change in aroma - Right Or Wrong??
- Answer Staff,
To state that there might be slight variations in intensity in your product insults the purchasers of this product. If a product as ICONIC as OPIUM once was, can admit that there is a variation, that tells me there is is a break down in quality control. i.e. A person buys a bottle of toilet or parfume for upwards ,$90-110 they will not get expected quality, but the same person could buy the product and spend $200.00 can expect to be satisfied. That is total abuse of the loyal customer. You should, as a company look to have most of your customer base satisfied not just the higher end . Opium was once one of the largest department store displays has gone the way, might I dare say , the product of VARIATION. By the way, I too am an Opium consumer that relates to most of your mail in regards to scent and compliments and I am deeply saddened by the loss of my icon, OPIUM.

- Answer Opium is an Yves Saint Laurent iconic fragrance. YSL Beauty has updated the bottle, but the formulation remains the same. You may notice slight variations in intensity.

I love this parfum, and haven't had any for a while, so decided to order some, and this size is the best value
I have used Opium Eau De Perfume for over 20 years - it is my favorite magical fragrance
Sensual, exotic, lightly spicy perfume...
intoxicating..
It makes me feel exotic and a Queen.
I love this perfume! Everyone always wants to know what I am wearing as they tell me it smells so good and I agree. I've been using this one and only perfume for about 34 years and have no plans to change.
I was in the audience of the Ellen Show this week and saw Emily Blunt as the guest. She was telling us about the shoot for this perfume and I wanted to try it out! She is so beautiful!
I have always preferred the Eau de Parfum to the the Eau de Toilet. I am not a big fan of the new packaging, but the fragrance is still great.
I like the EDP since the scent is a bit more intense and lasts longer than the Eau de Toilet, which has a lighter scent and does not last as long.
My dad used to give this perfume to my mom as a gift. He likes the scent. He's been looking for it at the mall everytime we go but it's always not available.
If anyone knows Opium they never stray. I join all others who know who they are and what they like.
It was a great buy and I was almost out. I have loved Opium for years since my husband first brought it back as a gift from Germany. I try all the latest but always come back to this.
This is my signature scent. Never wear any other scent. I live in the Southern United States and it gets really warm here. This scent last throughout the day, even through our warmest days.
i have been using this perfume for a long long time it smells awesome and i get a lot of compliments
Been wearing it for years
I love the scent. I have received a lot of compliments on how
lovely it smells
It is my signature sent and no other fragrance on the market has the same spicy, musky, flowery with no sugar over tones that I like.
I HAVE CHOSE THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN USING THIS FRAGRANCE FOR YEARS AND I NEVER GROW TIRED OF IT. IT IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE AND WILL ALWAYS BE.
