Opium

Opium, in perfumery, evokes a sense of decadent warmth. Often, it is not the literal scent of the flower, but rather an accord built upon rich, spicy, and balsamic elements. Think myrrh, frankincense, and amber blended with cloves and cinnamon. This creates a heady, enveloping aroma, suggestive of the exotic and mysterious. Perfumes featuring this accord tend to be intense and long-lasting.
