About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Opium Pour Homme (1995) is a soft-spicy oriental built on an unusual structure: the top is absent from the supplied pyramid, so the fragrance opens directly onto a heart of pepper and galanga. That ginger-like, peppery bite is dry and aromatic rather than sharp, and it quickly gives way to a base of Bourbon vanilla, Tolu balsam, and Atlas cedar. The result is powdery, anis-tinged, and faintly fruity—less the smoky, resinous opulence of the women's Opium and more a refined, skin-close spice. Collectors should note the listed accords: 100% soft spicy, 93% powdery, 82% anis and fruity, 79% fresh spicy, 75% vanilla. It suits wearers who prefer warmth without sweetness, and it performs best in cool weather, evening wear, or formal settings. If you enjoy pepper-vanilla orientals with a barbershop-adjacent powderiness, this is a distinctive, discontinued-era masculine worth sampling.

中文簡介

Opium Pour Homme(1995)屬東方辛辣調,但結構特別:前調從缺,一開場即係胡椒同南薑組成嘅心調,乾爽帶辛香,唔刺鼻。隨後係波本雲呢拿、吐魯香脂同阿特拉斯雪松嘅基調,出嚟係粉感、帶茴香同微微果香,同女版 Opium 嘅煙燻樹脂感好唔同,更貼膚、更斯文。主要 accord 顯示:柔辣 100%、粉感 93%、茴香 82%、果香 82%、清新辛辣 79%、雲呢拿 75%。適合鍾意溫暖但唔甜膩嘅男士,秋冬晚間或正式場合最啱。如果你喜歡胡椒雲呢拿系嘅東方調,呢支停產年代嘅男香值得試。
