Not at deep and rich a fragrance now. It used to last for ever. I have a tiny bit left in the old bottle and am too afraid to use it as when it's gone, that's it - gone forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666297985337182918.post-58926394469512803582011-01-16T22:33:35.849+00:002011-01-16T22:33:35.849+00:00Frida, perhaps give it a try, just to see how much...Frida, perhaps give it a try, just to see how much it has changed, then get your mitts on the old stuff, before it's gone or priced up into the stratosphere!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894218954285865917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666297985337182918.post-51798064868120982092011-01-15T18:06:43.756+00:002011-01-15T18:06:43.756+00:00I love (old) Opium SOOO much!

Funny story about Cafe and Opium. Not sure about Cafe to be honest. I haven't smelled No 5 in some time. My wife has quite a large bottle of this that I dip into from time to time, so I seldom consider it when out and about. I might compare the two now though!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894218954285865917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666297985337182918.post-29318989238971289802011-01-13T21:56:26.574+00:002011-01-13T21:56:26.574+00:00Don't, don't, don't get me started.

I love what is inside about Opium though. Funny thing is in Cuba when I got there in 91 I was wearing Opium and a Cuban friend said Oh you are wearing an imitation! Oh what, I said , no it's not an imitation, it's Opium. And he said oh yes, IT IS an imitation. Cause the true scent is Cafe. What?? Cafe? And Cafe is an imitation of Opium but I bought it and it was ok. :DVintage Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360008343132814160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666297985337182918.post-47591413552103913562011-01-13T13:05:37.240+00:002011-01-13T13:05:37.240+00:00Jen, thanks for the comment.

I refuse to try them simply because of that.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894218954285865917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666297985337182918.post-44433268716484200132011-01-13T01:36:36.857+00:002011-01-13T01:36:36.857+00:00Hardly a looker, indeed.

I am indeed that shallow. :)jensunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041130248100842593noreply@blogger.com
