Is this fragrance discontinued?+−
The Eau de Parfum version has been discontinued, which is a recurring topic among fans. It still appears through secondary market sources and occasionally through remaining retail stock, but it's not in active production. If you find it, most enthusiasts consider it worth picking up.
How does Opium pour Homme EDP compare to the original women's Opium?+−
They share clear DNA — both lean into that balsamic, oriental richness that defined the Opium lineage. The women's version is often described as smoother and more openly balsamic, while the pour Homme EDP takes that same foundation in a spicier, more amber-forward direction. If you appreciate the women's Opium, there's a good chance this one resonates, though the character is distinctly different rather than simply a masculine mirror.
Is this suitable for everyday wear?+−
Not really, at least not in the way a fresh or citrus fragrance works as a daily driver. Its oriental spicy weight is better suited to evenings and occasions where it has room to breathe. Community consensus consistently points to night out and evening settings rather than office or casual daytime use.
How is the longevity and projection?
