Jacques Cavallier

"Opium pour Homme Eau de Parfum is a rich masculine amber-spicy fragrance launched in 1995. Its opening combines tart black currant with the distinctive licorice-like character of star anise. Sichuan pepper and galanga give the heart a warm, aromatic, and gently fiery effect. The drydown is built around bourbon vanilla, Tolu balsam, and Atlas cedar, creating a dense balsamic sweetness with woody depth. The overall character is bold, sensual, exotic, and mysterious, with the dramatic presence associated with classic 1990s oriental fragrances."

Reviews Summary

“Opium pour Homme is widely experienced as bold, sensual, exotic, and memorable. Its spicy-anise opening develops into a warm peppery heart before settling into a sweet vanilla-balsamic cedar base. It is generally regarded as a strong-performing fragrance with notable projection and lasting power.”
