Opium OFF steroids
If you find original Opium intriguing but intimidating, this might be the version for you. It seems to remain true to the original notes and composition, with the same strong projection and longevity, but is simply much lighter and less aggressive.

Miss Shanghai
I own several Opium variants, and I like them all, but Orchidee de Chine is my favorite.
It reminds me of long nights when I wore my silver Chinese dress, which fit like it was painted on.
Along with the spicy scent of de Chine.
That was a performance!
I met my friend in a club in that outfit, and she still raved about it.
She just had to approach me.
I seemed to her like Miss Shanghai herself - such were her animated words.
And then there was that special exotic scent that spoke of distant gardens.
Pink orchids - with which the dress was also embroidered. Enchanting.
Exactly our taste.
The charming dress no longer fits me, and unfortunately, my dear friend is no longer with us.
But now and then, I treat myself to this unique scent and look back into the past.

Velvety-soft + spicy oriental floral scent, dominated by garden clove + nutmeg. Iris adds a powdery touch. In the dry down, vanilla-patch. Harmonious.

You can still smell the typical DNA/opium note despite the addition of the orchid. It just can’t help it. But I can: I’m outta here, honey!
