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.
