Anyone here ever use Opium?

[LynneSin]

It's got a vanilla/musky type scent to it which I haven't found appealling. But I bought it for my mother once (she loves that type of smell) and it's a personal favorite of hers. We even got the Men's Opium for my stepfather which he thought was an excellent scent for men.

Anyone else here like Opium from Yves Saint Larent?

1. Are these insense?

Real Opium is much better, smells insensy and tastes neat. Not to mention it makes you feel awesome for a couple of hours.

3. Um, you're in the wrong Opium thread

:D

4. My Mom loves that stuff

I've used a little in the past, but wouldn't presently because I have no idea what's in it, if it's tested, blah blah blah.

5. Love it, love it, love it!

It's my all-time favorite perfume. But it's way too expensive, so I won't buy it for myself - guess I'll have to convince some man to buy it for me! :D

6. It's the only perfume I wear

It doesn't smell good on everyone, though.

7. Love it, love it, love it.

But my husband has a thing about colognes, so I only wear them when he is out of town.

Very unfair, I must say, that moi, who adores all things scented, married Mr. I can't stand that smell.

8. I'm just trying to get all these threads lined up together on the page

9. Once I discovered this oh-so-many years ago

I never tried anything else. I'm hooked. Same with my mom.

It's true: Opium IS addictive!!

10. I've used opium pharmaceuticals

to include hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, etc.

All in the course of medical treatment

11. It reminds of this Phillapina girl from college

hoo-boy!

12. used to be my favorite

it evokes memories of turmoil and comfort

13. I used to mix sound for a fusion jazz band in New Orleans

These guys were some of the most incredible musicians I have ever mixed for (Branford Marsalis used to come by and jam with them). They practiced for a while in a small workshop / garage type thing. We would all pack in there, turn on the beer lights, turn out the other lights and light up the opium. I absolutely LOVE the taste and the smell of it!
