I would sneakily spray it on myself hoping she wouldn't notice but of course the strong, overpowering scent of spiced amber was always a dead giveaway. Back then Opium was a bit of a 'power perfume'. To me it equated to the smell of success.
Now welcome to the scene Opium's younger, cooler, sexier sister in the form of Belle D'Opium. Don't get me wrong, this is still a 'power perfume' as such with it's sensual and femine base notes but it's not flouncy or delicate and thankfully doesn't send you into migraine hell.
Definitely more of an evening perfume amongst other things it contains a mix of spicy white flowers, lily, amber and notes of sandalwood, patchouli, tobacco and vibrant incense - an ideal blend of femine and masculine.
I really really like this perfume, definitely a winter choice for me and can already imagine wearing it to many a Christmas party.
The bottle itself is gorgeous with it's deep blue and purple shades with striking gold and red detailing, all very glamorous. When I look at the bottle it reminds me of Dita Von Teese wearing her deep purple wedding gown when she wedded Marilyn Manson.
In fact, I imagine Dita Von Teese would love this perfume.
Has anyone else tried this perfume? What are your thoughts?

ReplyDeleteI haven't tested it yet, but I love the color contrasts. It's like the shade of a blue iris flower, and the red rope is pretty sexy.
