Opium Perfume

Buy Yves Saint Laurent Opium Perfume

Is there a single soul out there who hasn’t tried this marmoreal monument of a scent?Opium launched in 1977 and it was an instant hit with women who bought it by the gallon. The Opium fragrance became an identity and rivaled Chanel No. 5 in its elegance and timeless qualities for woman who wore Opium. The Yves Saint Laurent marketing machine was in full force and YSL perfume became a symbol for sophistication with Opium. The Yves Saint Laurent Opium bottle resembles an inro, the Japanese herbs box that samurais carry on their belts. Opium Eau de Toilette opens with an aldehyde-boosted wave of bay leaf and citrus, and the spicy yet somehow “clean” ambience of Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium accounts for its place in the Pantheon of the Great fragrances of all time. Everything about it spells drama, opulence, striking features and indulgence of the senses; more hypnotic and addictive than its namesake narcotic, Yves Saint Laurent’s proudest creation is echoing an era yet remains a resolute classic.

Notes:

Top Note: Cinnamom, Pepper, Orange, Pimento

Middle Note: Carnation, Jasmine, Rose, Ylang-Ylang

Base Note: Vanilla, Benzoin, Patchouli, Opoponax

Only partaking of its peppery plumy cadenza (accented with bergamot and aldehydes) into a heart of carnation, ylang-ylang and jasmine, can reveal some of its alluring potential.

The woody (cedar, patchouli, sandalwood) and balsamic (opoponax, myrrh, labdanum) base with animalistic darkness peeking like a forbidden glance through a curtain hiding an opium den in the Far East is an invitation to languor.
