Opium pour Homme a very interesting fragrance for me because I just don't know what to make of it? Having revisited it after many years I find it still intriguing, nothing like it to my mind. What prompted this fragrance Renaissance was my girlfriend wears Opium very often and I kind of like the fact she prefers a deep spicy scent rather than some horrible floral choking perfume. However I really don't like the interaction of floral with spice, the carnation note ruins the resinous body and nature of the fragrance...just my opinion. Anyway... Luckily the mens version is entirely different and although hasn't been on my skin for years I have huge respect for it. For me a wonderful example of a classic oriental fragrance that's maybe a little dated now but by the same rule has stood the test of time. Deep fruits, with an oriental spicy heart and woods in the base...enjoyable and masculine.
