I have a partial bottle that I bought in a group lot. I love it . I does smell extremely close to vintage YSL Opium - perhaps a hint oily due to the type of scent ( perfume oil vs edt or edp). The quality and longevity are great ,making me very curious about what other gems may be found in this line . ( Warning ! Blind buys may ensue!) . For reference I have the YSL Opium in edt ,and parfum in vintage, as well as the modern reformulation . I love the vintage more but the modern is nice too ( could've been a summer cologne version!).

More like my memory of the original Opium than the current YSL versionPicked up a bottle at Whole Foods, and I'd say it's a great cheap thrill if you're a fan of spicy orientals. Opium in its current formulation doesn't smell as "thick" and sweet as I recall it being, and side by side, I actually preferred this Auric Blends version. The concentrated oil form works well for the scent as top notes are really not the point here!Pros: Smells much more expensive than it is; highly concentratedCons: Even an Opium dupe is instantly recognizable
