Opium Eau D'été is a lighter, fresher interpretation of the iconic Opium fragrance, designed for summer and casual wear. It opens with bright citrus notes—mandarin orange and bergamot—giving it a summery, slightly soapy clean zing. The heart features soft, creamy jasmine with a subtle carnation spice, creating a warm, softly floral base that feels more approachable than the original. As it dries down, the presence of patchouli, vanilla, and myrrh adds a smooth, balsamic depth that lingers pleasantly without heaviness. Many users report it as a gentle, wearable version of the classic Opium, with a sillage that’s moderate to strong, lasting several hours on most skin types. It blends the smoky incense character of the original with a fresh, airy texture—ideal for day or night wear during warm months.
