The Image Yves Saint Laurent Opium is a legend reborn, representing a woman who is bold, mysterious, and unapologetically provocative. This 2009 re-orchestration maintains the heritage of the 1977 original but with a modern, cleaner edge. It is designed for a femme fatale who commands attention and values timeless Parisian elegance and high-fashion drama.
The Emotion The fragrance evokes a sense of forbidden desire and nocturnal mystery. It is best suited for cold winter evenings or formal night events where its warmth can truly shine. Opium feels like a heavy silk gown or a dark velvet cloak, wrapping the wearer in a cloud of opulent, spicy sophistication and mystical attraction.
The Reveal The scent opens with a bright burst of mandarin and bergamot, quickly softened by the delicate touch of lily of the valley. The heart is dominated by the rich, resinous depth of myrrh and sweet jasmine. Finally, it settles into a long-lasting, balsamic base of amber, earthy patchouli, and creamy vanilla, leaving a powerful trail.
