Love original Opium

My 1st Opium by YStL was in 1988! Finally bought my 1st bottle in Pigeon Forge, TN at an outlet store on our way to my cousin's wedding. I loved it then and finally bought my 2nd bottle of perfume May 2025! I still have my little mini bottle, small brown Opium with the original black tassle still attached. And, I used it so sparingly that I still have a tiny bit left in that little bottle! The scent is still there and a pleasure to put on when I go out now.

Have always loved this perfume!!

I’ve been using this for 40 years now and as long as it is available, I will be buying it!!

The best ever!

I never wear it and someone doesn't stop me, tell me I smell great and what is that exotic perfume?

Le parfum de mes 15 ans

Toute jeune fille, ma Maman me l'avait offert. Très heureuse de le retrouver, maintenant. Il n'a pas changé 🥰 pour mon plus grand bonheur ! Tient longtemps sur le corps comme sur les vêtements. Une délicieuse odeur très addictive.

Still wonderful

I purchased as a gift for my mom and she loved it. The free engraving makes it such a lovely gift.

My signature scent

What a bomb of spices. A scent for a classy woman who is a bit spicy just like the scent ;) A real classic

Not even close

Not even close to the original. YSL DO BETTER!!!!!

Please bring back the original Opium!

This new formula doesn’t have the very special, alluring scent of the original Opium. Would you consider bringing it back?

Wonderful scent

It’s been my favorite perfume for many years. I wish you still made a purse spray bottle

Lovely

wonderful deep scent puts you in the right mood for a nice evening

Glittering effect

The quality of the product is excellent for my oily skin. applyit for area for testing before you actually use it.

Huge Disappointment

I have just purchased Black Opium for the first time. I am surprised at how little thought went into the design of the container. The hard surface feels like a household brick, it is completely unsuitable for a perfume bottle. The colour black is totally unnecessary and adds to the harshness and overly masculine design leading me to suspect that it was designed by men without taking into consideration the gender of the user. A bottle of perfume should be designed to be used by a female using only one hand. I find this impossible in my first ever purchase of Black Opium. Due to lack of mobility, I purchased this completely disappointing product on-line, had I seen it in a store, I would never have purchased it. As for the perfume itself, it has a harsh aroma although I admit that after 50 plus years of using Shalimar, it is going to be a very difficult task to find a replacement! Black Opium is not the answer!
