Orange blossom without opium
Orange blossom is wrapped in some tangerine and vanilla. This makes it mildly sweet and slightly subdued, then in the course of time it becomes a little orientalized, increasingly spicy and woody, but continues to pulsate very orange-flowery on the skin. Beautiful round and full base. The fragrance surprises me positively, but nevertheless it has nothing to do with the original opium or the other flankers for my nose, it is a completely independent fragrance and so seen, well done. Orange blossom is fresh and refinedly warm at the same time.

Tender orange powder
Opium Vapeurs de Parfum is another representative of the Opium series from 2012.
I bought it at the beginning of 2014 and it was a set with a Yves Saint Laurent toilet bag made of fabric, a 30 ml bottle and a small pocket sprayer It has nothing in common with the original opium fragrance except for its name, but I had no such expectations. I bought the fragrance because I also liked the Belle d`Opium, which I bought a short time before. Therefore I gave this flanker a chance
Opium Vapeurs de Parfum is a gentle, ladylike fragrance. It begins with juicy Madarine and a portion of pink pepper. Jasmine is present, but not too intrusive. Orange blossom unfolds immediately and gives the fragrance a certain powdery quality, not too strong.
Whereby I noticed over time that this powdery texture is better able to hold its own in winter at colder temperatures. In summer, on the other hand, it hardly becomes powdery and the orange blossom becomes rather citrusy.
In the base patchouli and vanilla should be present, but this is rather discreet.
All in all I perceive the fragrance as orange-powdery. It is not too obtrusive and can be worn well in everyday life. I would place its durability in the middle of the range.
It goes a little in the Coco Madmoiselle direction, but is softer The flacon is chic and the rose-peach tinted colour goes well with the flacon.
For me, Opium Vapeurs de Parfum is a post-purchase candidate.

Opium haters may be surprised !
I love the original Opium.... But many do not...I say to all Opium haters - Try this , is is nothing like original Opium at all. .....Now i love them both , but they are two very different perfumes

OPIUM VAPEURS is such a classy , wearable summer/spring scent - Gorgeous ! Ive had so many compliments when wearing this. True its an oriental , but one that you can comfortably wear in hot weather . This is a light and breezy scent that also lasts quite well ( for a scent of this type) . The orange blossom/mandarin/jasmine combo is just delicious.

A keeper this one!

A floriental modern masterpiece! Smoother and lighter, but warm and lovely anyway. You can wear it every day because it's very discrete
