A boundary-pushing, oriental fragrance, and a YSL icon since 1977.
Opium Eau de Parfum, the legendary fragrance for women. A luxurious fragrance of sheer sensuality with a voluptuous, tantalising and bewitching scent. An oriental spicy harmony that will turn heads wherever you go.
INSPIRATION
In 1977 Yves Saint Laurent introduces Opium: a boundary-pushing perfume. A revolution in a bottle. A new idea of femininity: sultry, provocative, addictive.
SCENT
The heart of the fragrance opens with mandarin, bergamot and lily of the valley, before revealing middle notes of jasmine, carnation and myrrh. Then the deeper aromas of vanilla, amber, sweet myrrh and patchouli melt on your skin - leaving a trail that arouses desire.
Top notes: Mandarin, Bergamot & Lily of the Valley
Heart notes: Jasmine, Carnation & Myrrh
Base notes: Vanilla, Amber, Patchouli & Sweet Myrrh
BOTTLE
An iconic silhouette, in a rich burgundy evoking the oriental flowers and spice of the scent. The warmth of the fragrance is embodied by the glow of the gold centre, and contrasted with the cool metal of the gold embellishments and cap.
APPLICATION
For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.
For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery it is a great alternative to spraying your neck.
For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and / or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail
OTHER APPLICATION TIPS:
Hair & hair accessories: they can be fragranced for a gentle fragrance trail. For just a halo of scent, spray your hair brush only. For the ultimate pampering treat for your hair discover the Black Opium Hair Mist, infused with Argan oil.
Garments: perfume the inside of your jacket and coats for a medium trail. For added intensity of fragrance go further and perfume your blouse / jumper.
Scarves: for lighter fragrance, spray a scarf and wrap the scarf around your neck to transfer fragrance onto yourself gently.
Bathing: spritz perfume on warm bath water for an indulgent experience.
