| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| This is a beautifully constructed perfume, but I don't detect much similarity to the original Opium. With the original, the heady spices are the star of the show, but with Shanghai, the mandarin and soft floral notes dominate. I think this perfume stands on its own, and that people who do not care for the original Opium may very well enjoy this. Whereas the original is assertive and overtly sexy, Shanghai is soft and delicate and does not shout. I do still prefer the original - it has guts and moxie, but Shanghai is more wearable overall and will appeal to a wider audience. But, I will wear this often in the warmer months when Opium can be too much of a good thing. If you enjoy soft, floral-orientals, liking this is almost guaranteed. :) Enjoy! |
