I own a 10 ml decant as I know someone who owns a partial bottle. --- This is a strange one. This is not Opium and yet it is Opium. At first spray, for me, it smells like old oranges and ginger and resin and strongly suntan lotion (the oily ones, not the coconut-y ones). Very different from Opium and somewhat effervescent as others have said. Then it dries out and I can start to see that it is indeed a flanker of Opium.

When I got my purchase back to the B & B we were staying at, I opened up the box and sprayed my purchase with abandon. Simply heaven. There is a brief twang of orange but it soon dissipates. Then there is a very slow mellow burn of jasmine, carnation, with a gentle flicker of musk, tonka and resins. Very much a skin scent for me but it lasts and really holds onto textiles and hair. The spouse can smell this perfume, which is unusual because it is so gentle. Two days later, I went back to the charming store to p...
