One of my favorites ever. Unique, balsamic, sweet, fresh oriental. Great fragrance. The EDP is stronger and more vanillic. Love them both.
On the hunt for the EDP now.
I just bought this recently. I like the feeling the scent gives once dried right down. It's soft, inviting, warm and comforting.
I can't wait to wear it more and more to discover it!
I bought a newer batch in 2023 and this blasts off my skin with 6 sprays. The staying power is excellent for an EDT.
I haven't smelled the new batch do you think it's worth a blind buy?
@@V.Odin1 I bought 10/2023 batch recently and I am little dissapointed (EU here). Longevity 5-6h max, projection is average and the scent is not as good as it just to be. Still have a opium DNA but for me it's not the scent that I remember back in the day.
A phenomenal classic essay. Glad you got on board with this wonderful freakin classic...👍🏻
Classic
Awesome fragrance! Nice analysis Marc! Added this to my collection just over a month ago! So glad to have it in my collection. Incredible dry down! True beauty of it shows so well off a paper strip! Like you I really want that EDP also!
Can't wait to sniff the drydown more and more now that I have the bottle.
Finally 🙏
I knew you would dig this!
The Blackcurrant with Star Anise is very unique, and the barbershop touches are just marvellous. Very complex
it is very complex, well constructed scent.
Great first impressions video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it because I'm a big fan of old school fragrances and have a blessed day
Awesome! Thank you!
You welcome keep up the good work GOD BLESS 🙏
Oh thanks alot Marc you just made it go up in value 20 dollars I was suppose to get a back up bottle . A real 90s gem
😐 oops lol
Yes, it is a classic! Back in the day, there was something about it that I couldnt get with. But I think I need to sniff this again. My nose has changed, and I suspect the formulation has also changed. Thanks again, Marc!
thanks for stopping by! Appreciate it!
Love Opium Pour Homme ... I have the EDT & have the EDP on the way in next few months 😇
That anise opening with the blackcurrant in the EDT is so wearable... even in the heat you can rock the EDT ⭐️
you mean you have backups on the way? I don't believe you don't own this one already.
Love this one. The edp in the full blue jacket is even better if you can find it. But this one projects a little more. Gotta be careful on the sprays, especially after it's been sitting for a couple of years. Great impressions Marc!!
I want that full blue jacket version, I've been eyeing it. Appreciate you coming by as usual!
I might have tried it but I don't remember, I need to get a decant to try it, I really like licorice and anise notes. Thanks for the unboxing Marc!!!
No problem my friend!
MI fragrance journey (obsession) started from this YSL Opium back in 95 one of mi all time favorite i have the edt and vintage parfum (the "nautilus" 50 ml refil bot) and the limited edition OPIUM poesie de chine LOVE them ALL
That limited edition is a collector's dream, beautiful bottle to boot!
Hello please can you tell me what it says on the bottom of your 1995 opium edt box, or bottle , I’m looking for an original formula. I got a sanofi beaute one but it seems weaker and less opulent than I remember , hope you can help , cheers
It's that little Szechuan pepper note that keeps me sniffing at it all day. A balmy vanillic spicy classic. Love it.
funny how different people enjoy different notes in the same scent.
Og stuff right here. Love black current note
I thought the BC note was very interesting in this one.
Awww man, it's one of my absolute favs, been thinking about getting a backup perhaps, too bad it's not $35 anymore!
I recall when discounters had this for that price, how things change
This fragrance works well today. Doesn't smell outdated at all to me. In line with Boss Bottled, In terms of the way it's aged.
interesting thoughts.
Boss Bottled? No way, this is way more special
I've been looking to get a bottle of of this for a few years now. Reminds me of Sushi Imperial. The fruity, anise, cinnamon, vanilla combo.
Interesting comparison!
aww man. opium pour homme is one of my all time favourites.
it's a shame we don't see many video reviews of opium pour homme as well.
I got a vintage bottle of the sanofi (96) and gucci (05) era.
also got three bottles of the EDP (L'Oréal) stashed away. 😁
still hoping to add two or more of the vintage EDT to my collection.
someone has a hell of a collection!
Love this stuff bro, bought my bottle in 2011 in Hong Kong. Would love to compare it to the current version. Cheers
I'd love to sniff a 90's version.
Nice! I used to have that some years ago. Interesting fragrance, but probably not very versatile:)
Appreciate your take on this one!
I just got a 50 ml of the EDP after owning the EDT for years (vintage 2014/15ish, so far from the treasured 90's formulations), and it's AMAZING - I imagine this is close to the experience that the original formula of the EDT used to deliver.
In fact, I need an afternoon scent, I am putting it on right now 😁
Enjoy the EDP! I'm on the hunt for it now.
i just drove to brooklyn ny from connecticut three days ago to pickup an old bottom of opium 100ml 2002 bottle sealed for my mom mother's day that a woman had from her brother's old collection who passed away, and she had a bottle of this opium pour homme as well, only 50ml with box no seal, when i looked up batch years and info from a website that gives you the history, i ended scoring a bottle of this on saturday from 1996 formula original , she sold it to me for 40 bucks, i have yet to spray or wear, trying to find more info on what type of weather to wear this, but excited to try, also scored a 50ml new of fendi uomo from her for 50 bucks, it was worth the drive. the fendi is hard for me to find batch and formula, even with extensive search, but it looks nice an ambery the juice, heard good things about it, couldn't pass it up for that price.
Thank you for sharing! Great story
Hello, please can you tell me what it says on the bottom of the 1996 opium bottle. I’m trying to get an original myself. I got a sanofi beaute one, but it smells weaker and less opulent than I remember it did, hope you can help , cheers
Give it a few more tries in cool weather. You'll come around. I find the more you know about a fragrance prior to smelling it, we create a bias about it. Like, for instance, if that same scent came out of a new Dior Prive release you may be more inclined to praise it as having a modern old vibe about it. In any event, good job 👍
Appreciate it, I'll give her just do.
Hi new subscriber to the channel I actually have Opium pour homme love the smell of it I’m a fan of old school frags have you reviewed or smelled Obsession for men?
Welcome to the channel! I've smelled Obsession a long long time ago, funny enough I don't own a bottle of it. They come cheap I should get it.
One of my favourite scents is often compared to this (Opium), so I was curious to hear your description of it.
which scent is that?
I get Ysl Tuxedo and Dior Fahrenheit Le Parfum vibes from this Fragrance
oh rly? I def. didn't go that way but interesting. I'll keep that in mind when testing.
Also if you want something along the same lines - try Penhaligon's Lp No. 9 (for men). It's very similar.
I do need to sniff more Penhaligons.
My sotd it's one where you need a vintage bottle but omg it's so good
Enjoy it in good health!
@@robes08 thanks for the reply appreciated
It's so posh an opulent deep rich black current anise bourbon vanilla .
excellent description!
Sometimes I get a "retro Ani" from this scent.
interesting, I'll have to revisit Ani.
Dude,if this had better longevity,it would be in my top 3. I love the anise note. Could you suggest something similar?
too early for me to suggest anything comparable to it as of now.
I have a 50ml 1996 bottle in shrink wrap in my collection. I’ve been hesitant to open it because it’s been so long since I smelled it.
Angry Panda needs to open it.

@@JayMagnifique mine says Sanofi Beaute. I actually opened it since I posted this and it’s quite strong. My wife hates it haha
This is one I still want to get my nose on as well. I was on the verge of pulling the trigger on it last year but the price had already crept up a little past my blind buy comfort zone. Just saw a comment on fragrantica saying ysl hasn’t officially discontinued it, but have had a supply chain issue. Probably meaning it will be reformulated again at this point if it ever does come back.
we will be waiting on the return of this one.
Someone gifted me this, I barely use it. It has been sitting for long time. didnt even know this is so expensive lol
great video, also, are you from Montreal????
I do live in Canada, yes.
My young adult scent 😢(edp) rebuyed edt most years ago, and forgot to buy before discontinuation 😭😭😭
☹
Very nice Tfs
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm surprised that you've never tried or had it. It was big in the 90s. I was gifted a bottle in 1998 - it was amazing. Still have that bottle (20% full or so) plus couple of back ups.
I was a teen in the late 90's so Opium was not on my radar like many mid to early 90's releases. I am surprised it took me this long tho.

I love OPH edt, but the current formula (or at least the one I smelled a few years ago) pales in comparison with the vintage juice. After Loreal took over, the edt lost its strength and some of its amazing qualities. The vintage one is amazing, though.
Interesting to hear the journey these formulations go through.
Do you know if the vintage one is 'Sanofi Beaute' Era? Looking for the 1st formula, cheers
Is there any comparison of Opium Pour Homme EDT to Givenchy Pi? Thoughts?
None. Pi is vanilla centric
I always thought the EDP concentration was more suited to the composition but it's just generally a great scent. The edt is discontinued over here now 🤦♂️
yea she's discontinued here too. Think she's gone.
@@robes08 😢
This scent has been in my collection over 20 years! My batch code has been reused by YSL, so I can't give a date of manufacture.☹️
it happens
Hello, is yours a 'Sanofi Beaute' bottle, or what does it say on the bottom. Im looking for the first foruma, cheers
@@JayMagnifique It is indeed!
Yeah it's a bit odd this one. Unique, interesting and well done this one but even though it has those qualities there is something a little dull about it. It was maybe a dumb reach back in the day?
probably a good dumb reach back in the day, yes.
Not a dumb reach nor dull
…sounds right…i like Opium it’s at once classic and dare-i-say-masculine and also attractive and sensual…i must admit i’m not in love with any YSL…
We can't love em all!
Does this have some Jubilation XXV similarities???
No, not at all.
nope
Is it bottle worthy ?
I can't tell you that tbh, it's solid.
Did you see my comment from yesterday?
pretty sure I got to it, if not please let me know.
Ok nice 2 dive in old reles thinks
truth
