What does Opium pour Homme Eau d'Orient 2006 smell like?

Bergamot, grapefruit and star anise give a bright, lightly sweet opening. In the heart, ginger, white pepper and nutmeg bring the spice forward. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, bamboo and amber settles it onto a warm, woody ground.

Longevity is rated strong, with most voters giving high marks, though the number of votes is small. It is classed as a men's fragrance. Yves Saint Laurent Opium pour Homme Eau d'Orient 2007 and Al Rehab Khaliji (Perfume Oil) have a close profile.
