By the editors · 2 min readA limited spring release from 2006, the Fleur Imperiale flanker strips the heaviness from Opium and rebuilds it for lighter wear. Neroli and bergamot open clean and citrus-forward; a single jasmine note forms the heart with clarity rather than density. The base then draws the whole thing toward the original Opium character: osmanthus and myrrh add apricot-resinous depth, anchored by amber and vanilla, with patchouli providing weight.
The effect is Opium's warm oriental signature presented in its most approachable spring register — a bright entry followed by a gradual slide toward the family's recognizable base.
