Yves Saint Laurent
Opium
Eau de Parfum · Women
Opium is a spiced oriental with a long-standing reputation for drama. Carnation, cinnamon and pepper open warm and peppery, then jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang bloom into a heady floral heart. Vanilla, patchouli and resin settle into a dark, lingering base. It is a bold, evening-leaning fragrance that projects strongly, so a light hand helps. It suits cool weather and formal or festive plans much more than hot, humid days.
