OrientalWhat does Opium pour Homme Eau d'Orient 2007 smell like?
It opens with bergamot, lemon and grapefruit in a fresh citrus wash, with spices close behind. The heart leans on nutmeg, white pepper, star anise and ginger. Vetiver, sandalwood and amber settle it into a woody, resinous, faintly smoky base.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Votes spread almost evenly across the seasons, spring and fall slightly ahead, and it is worn from evenings to the office. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Byredo Encens Chembur have a close profile.
