Paloma Picasso Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Tous Opium opens with a hitPaloma Picasso opens dark opopanax and rose wrapped in leather and spice, the kind of scent that doesn't apologise for taking up space. This is the original, from 1984, and it wears like a statement rather than a whisper. 100ml EDP, 100ml bottle. Three sprays in the morning sit on skin all day, stronger on clothes, unshiftable by midafternoon. Not for someone who prefers subtle.
