Opium

Opium Eau de Toilette by Yves Saint Laurent is a women's fragrance with a provocatively evocative name, offering a gateway to an extraordinary, mysterious world rich in sensations and emotions.

Opium Eau de Toilette by Yves Saint Laurent is a fruity and aromatic flight. A floral and voluptuous character. A rich, oriental, and spicy structure.

THE STORY
Upon its release, it was a genuine phenomenon. Eager to create a fragrance evocative of the Orient, Yves Saint Laurent crafted an interpretation of the spirit of Imperial China, with all its mysteries and exotic allure. A provocative name, Opium, synonymous with addiction, passion, and enchantment. The first French perfume to be so concentrated, akin to American perfumery, it is a fragrance with exceptional longevity and sillage.

THE SENSE OF SMELL
The burst of Mandarin, Bergamot, and Lily of the Valley reveals heart notes of Jasmine, Carnation, and Myrrh. Then Vanilla, Amber, Opoponax, and Patchouli meld onto the skin in a mesmerizing and feverish trail.

THE BOTTLE
The bottle of Opium eau de toilette takes the shape of an inrō, a small case that Oriental warriors wore at the waist to protect their most precious belongings.
