FRAGRANCE TIPS
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.

MESSAGE BY STEVO
I love Opium pour Homme Eau de Parfum and find similarities with the ladies version, but the men's seems sweeter. They are both so in-your-face when first applied, but after they dry down, the two versions are equally rich, deep and resinous. I've heard of men wearing the extrait (parfum) before. It's not as sweet as the men's eau de parfum. I've also read of women wearing the men's version. The editor of Vogue France (..a woman) wears it. I think fragrance should'nt be about gender all the time. Opium, in any version, should be enjoyed by everyone who loves it, no matter the what "gender" it's intended for. To me, it's that good and should be relished for what it is....a classic masterpiece! So, if you love a fragrance and it's not your gender, but you want to wear it, GET IT! wear it! It's for YOUR enjoyment and it's one of the things that is a part of who you are. Celebrate who you are with a fragrance you like and just don't give crap about what other people think! I may buy the Parfum for myself....just for what it is...a wonderful fragrance worthy for any collection!
