Vintage Opium 's fair dupe
A little preface before talking about this scent: I usually like so much and buy the majority of the dupes by Omerta . They usually are well done and with an average sillage, no matter if very similar to the most famous scents of a little different .
So, the forst time I saw at the market of my town this fragrance, I was very curious and I smelled it immediately. At the first spray I was a little disappointed because I had on my mind the recent version of Opium and this dupe appeared to me too fortified and bitter.
After about a week, I came back to the same stall where I tested this scent and I smelled again the jus spraying it directly on my skin from the tester : it was a Proustian "madeleine" effect. Suddenly I remembered the old Opium I smelled from my mother's fur when I was a little girl. This fragrance was the perfect dupe of THAT Opium! Strong, bitter, spicy, ladylike but transgressive at the same time , having that special character of the legendary vintage scent. Obviously, the bouquet is less refined and more synthetic than the original's one , but the sillage isn't bad at all, although it isn't as longlasting as that masterpiece! But for about 5€ I could have 100ml of a pleasant fall-winter scent, in a nice bottle with the cap recalling the chinese golden geometric decorations, in the vintage Opium 's bottle style.So, I bought this fragrance and now It is a "never without" in the coldest days.

Opium for the People
Since I find it very unfortunate that there are so few comments on the cheap fragrance waters, I would like to write one here. And right off the bat: Oh So! deserves it. Although the fragrance pyramid is not completely identical, it is a wonderful dupe of Opium. The sillage is not as overwhelming, and the strangely biting-smoky note that its big sister - at least for me - initially exudes is largely absent. In general, I believe both perfumes smell better from a certain distance than with the nose right in the action...

Oh So! remains largely linear for me, although I must admit that I do not wear it on bare skin and it may not fully unfold due to lack of body heat. The scent is dominated by a beautiful warm-spicy note (cinnamon, clove, oppoponax, benzoin), along with a hint of dark rose and of course vanilla. Patchouli doesn't really stand out to me, but I can do without it just fine. I probably had an overkill of it during my good old hippie days. Who from the 60s doesn't remember patchouli incense sticks, patchouli fragrance oil, etc.? What my poor parents must have endured, not to mention the strange attire of their daughter (Walla-Walla dresses in all variations and Jesus sandals) ;-).

But back to the scent: Everything is very balanced and harmonious and lasts easily on fabric or tissue (the stolen test strips unfortunately ran out, lol) until the next day. At just under 5 euros for 100 ml, I really can't complain, I think. The bottle is also not to be underestimated for something in this price range; it is heavy and fits well in the hand without any kitschy frills. For that, it gets 70%, even though the cap unfortunately never closed properly from the start. I definitely give a clear recommendation to buy, especially for the colder season. And one more tip: it smells really delicious on men. I've already supplied my partner with a few bottles. He still doesn't know that it's actually a women's perfume. But men don't have to know everything, right?

I tested it because it seemed similar to "Opium", but infinitely cheaper.So,I realized that Opium is another world!

Spicy scent that takes Opium as its model + it does quite well, though only subtly. Pleasantly harmonious creation. Worth a try.

Exotic spice soap par excellence! I like it so much better than Opium, as it's not so heavy. No courage is needed for this.

Since Opium was reformulated, I'm looking for an alternative. This dupe here is a close match. Better than the reformulated new one.

Cinnamon with bitter orange, heavy dark spicy floral, resinous dark base, not too sweet warm, patchouli, good sillage, weaker longevity.

Spicy speculoos with patchouli incense sticks, no flowers. Closer to the old Opium than the new Opium. "O.P." is even closer.

It's one of those "cheaper" fragrances, doesn't last long, but it really smells a lot like the original OPIUM, I like it.
