Olfactory Pyramid of Open Eau de Parfum by Christopher Dark:
The fragrance opens with top notes of a citrus blend featuring bergamot and mandarin, enhanced by the spicy accents of ylang-ylang and the sweet, herbaceous notes of patchouli.
In the heart note, two opposites intertwine in a passionate dance—cool, fresh, mystical jasmine, and warm, spicy, balsamic-sweet myrrh. This combination gives the perfume endurance and incredible depth.
The base note defies convention, characterized by tender, sensual vanilla that is playfully seductive.

Oh, how long I've been searching for it! Christopher Dark Open has exactly the notes that I love in classical Opium! It's my favorite. It's not very long-lasting, only a few hours, but that doesn't make me love it any less.
The perfume is quite long-lasting. The scent is not for everyday use. It's more suitable for when you're in a specific mood and want something unique.))) I only apply a maximum of two sprays, otherwise it can be overpowering. It's similar to Opium, but in my opinion, it doesn't have such a strong carnation note.
Undoubtedly, it's a matter of personal preference, but I am a fan. If I were told to choose only one fragrance created in the past century, I would choose Opium. In the top notes, it has a slight lemonade-like, aldehydic quality, just enough to add effervescence without being soapy. As it settles, it evokes a sense of a church, with the scent of candle wax. I understand that it may be too heavy for some people. However, it doesn't matter to me; I enjoy it every time I use it. This replica is very successful and devoid of any flaws.
It is so beautiful. The quality is higher than the price. The fragrance starts with a sharp carnation (although carnation is not officially mentioned), then it settles down and starts playing with a riot of colors, sparks, and iridescence. It trails beautifully and fits perfectly into warm, dry autumn weather.
It is quite unique. There is some resemblance to certain old-school fragrances.
With this fragrance, I feel the urge to stand tall.
It lasts impressively long on my icy skin - around 5 hours.
It fades away beautifully with soft vanilla, smokiness, overwhelming weariness, and a light sadness. This fragrance is a memory. In my humble opinion.
P.S. Not for fans of fruity and fresh scents.
Heavy artillery.
These perfumes are very similar to Opium! It reminds me of my childhood scent. It's a high-quality copy! Warm, lingering, sweet, and church-like fragrance! It's a shame that the bottle is not similar, but that's just a minor detail. Thank you Makeup for the speed and quality of the product.
Not my scent, unfortunately. I can't imagine how to wear it or where to wear it, too sharp, persistent, monotonous, itchy, hasn't changed over time at all, just very exhausting. Barely washed it off my hand. 3 stars for longevity, and that's it. My grandmother used to have clove oil, it smelled much nicer. I don't want to and won't "fragrance" like this. +To the collection, on the shelf for unused.
A fragrance for those with specific preferences! Initially, there is a strong scent of cloves, which gradually softens over time, revealing a hint of frankincense and the aroma of church candles to my nose. It is long-lasting, but I recommend applying it at least 30 minutes before going out due to its heavy nature. This fragrance is definitely not suitable for summer, so it might be better to start with the mini version, as mentioned in previous reviews.
I ordered this product without testing it firsthand, solely relying on reviews. The reason being that it appears to be similar to YSL's Opium fragrance. And indeed, it does bear a striking resemblance. The longevity of the scent is moderate.
The scent is heavy and long-lasting. It is a matter of personal preference.
I bought it for my mom too, and it has an excellent scent!
This is simply amazing! I bought it for the second time and immediately got three. People recognize Opium in it.
I agree with the previous reviews. It reminds me of Opium. It smells like burning church candles in a temple. The scent is intriguing and long-lasting. I recommend starting with the purchase of a mini version.
Beautiful fragrance, thanks to its creators. It's like a drug, just as the previous reviews mentioned. There is indeed a resemblance to YSL Opium.
The bottle I received is not like the one in the photo, and I am disappointed about it since the resemblance of the bottle is also important to me. However, the scent overshadows all the flaws of the bottle. It's the fragrance of my childhood! The legendary Opium by Yves Saint Laurent! I will order another bottle and explore other fragrances from this brand. The product is worth every penny. The longevity is excellent!
This is love at first sight! It's bright and spicy, warm and familiar, as I've been a fan of Opium Yves Saint Laurent since the 90s. Yes, it's a classic, but it's soft and gentle, not as sharp and loud as Red Moscow or Magical Night by Lancome.
It's difficult for me to describe it, you have to try it yourself. But if you enjoy Dorall Collection 7th Element Classy or Chanel Coco Noir, then don't hesitate to get it. It's perfect for lovers of good retro scents. I have no doubt about its longevity, as all fragrances from Poland are great and these vibrant scents last a long time.
Oh, I accidentally sent an unfinished message. Maybe someone will find it unoriginal and old-fashioned, but I have been familiar with Opium for a long time and since the day I bought it, I can't stay away from this little bottle. It brings so much joy to my nose and mood. I love such dried spicy scents. There is truly something narcotic and warming about it.
My mother had this scent in my childhood, Opium. And this version reminded me of familiar notes.
The fragrance has a retro style, with a very strong note of cloves, which makes it reminiscent of a clove cologne. When it's heavily aired out, there are some hints of Opium, but very faintly. If you do decide to wear it, do so in small doses and spray it beforehand.
A clone of Opium, but not as successful as the other products from this manufacturer. I was hoping for something better.
The scent is heavy and long-lasting. The second time I tried it, it felt a bit lighter. Maybe it's the myrrh that bothers me. But it's interesting, I'll give it another try in winter. I'm giving it three stars only because of my personal perception.
