PowderyWhat does Opium Orient Extrême smell like?
The opening is bright and fruity, with mandarin orange and bergamot lifted by the softer floral touch of lily of the valley. At the heart, spices, carnation and jasmine warm the scent into something spicy and floral. The base turns woody, powdery and gourmand through patchouli, opoponax, amber and vanilla, with oriental and chypre accents running underneath. Its floral, fruity and sweet sides move together. Chopard Cašmir and Dior Midnight Poison have a close profile.
