A blind and random purchase as I used to wear the original. A nice surprise to find a flanker that can delight as well. This is like a very well behaved daughter perfume. Something streamlined to wear in an office or a polite place. A shadow of her original heavy duty, naughty nights, 80's mum.

I've been wearing this perfume for many years. Am always getting compliments - from women as well as men - as to how nice I smell. Even girls at the checkout will ask what it is. It may be more expensive than others but it lasts a long time in the bottle as well as on the skin.

I have worn the original Opium for more than 30 years, and absolutely HATE the addition of cat spray to this wonderful scent. I, too, was assured by the salesperson that it was just the packaging that was changed, but no! I took it back - I won't have it in my house.
