Opium Eau De Parfum - Floral

Eau de Parfum (EDP) has a higher concentration of fragrance oils (typically 15-20%) compared to Eau de Toilette (EDT, 5-15%). This means EDP generally lasts longer and has a more intense scent than EDT.

Due to its Eau de Parfum concentration, Opium typically lasts for 6-8 hours, sometimes longer, depending on individual skin chemistry and application points.

The main notes include Mandarin, Bergamot, and Lily of the Valley at the top; Jasmine, Carnation, and Myrrh at the heart; and Vanilla, Amber, Patchouli, and Sweet Myrrh at the base.

While it can be worn daily if preferred, its intense and provocative character often makes it more suited for evening wear, special occasions, or cooler seasons. For a lighter daily option, you might consider an Eau de Toilette variant of Opium.

To preserve the fragrance, store the bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep the cap tightly sealed after each use.

While traditionally marketed to women, fragrance is personal. Anyone who enjoys a rich, amber spicy scent with oriental nuances can wear Opium, regardless of gender. It's about personal preference.

Fragrance interacts uniquely with individual skin chemistry, body temperature, and lifestyle factors. This can cause the same perfume to smell slightly different from person to person, especially as it dries down and develops.

Ensure skin is moisturized before application. Apply to pulse points like wrists, neck, and behind ears. Consider reapplying lightly after several hours.

Apply less product; one spray might be sufficient. Spray onto a cotton ball and dab onto skin instead of direct spraying. Consider applying further away from the nose, such as knees or ankles.

Discontinue use immediately. Cleanse the affected area with mild soap and water. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist. Always perform a patch test before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Check storage conditions. Exposure to heat, light, or air can degrade the perfume. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed and store in a cool, dark place. The natural scent may also slightly evolve over time.
