The classic fragrance of Opium Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent has become a must-have scent for many women, a staple in the arsenal of a true lady, much like a string of pearls and a bold red lipstick. This fragrance, which speaks to the refined sense of style of its wearer and pays homage to timeless elegance, has confidently held its place in the world of perfumery since 1977.
The rich composition of Opium by Yves Saint Laurent encompasses a wide range of scent categories: floral, fruity, spicy, and woody. The fragrance opens with an explosion of scents, featuring amber, musk, vanilla, cinnamon, plum, peach, and citrus. At the "heart" of the eau de parfum are floral notes—carnation, lily of the valley, jasmine, and iris—enhanced by ylang-ylang. This vibrant symphony of a classic fragrance is elegantly rounded off with incense and sandalwood.
To ensure the scent of Opium by Yves Saint Laurent lingers longer, experts recommend choosing the eau de parfum over the eau de toilette. Just a couple of drops of this rich oriental elixir are enough to envelop a woman in its unique aroma throughout the entire day.
