Product Overview
The queenly, spicy yet somehow ?clean? ambience of Yves Saint Laurent?s Opium accounts for its place in the Pantheon of the Greats. 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. 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. Beautiful bottle resembling an inro, the Japanese herbs box that samurais carry on their belts. Soft Oriental Incense adds sensual overtones to fragrant flowers, spices and amber to create a softer style of Oriental. Opium by YSL Eau De Parfum Spray Perfume For Women EDP 3.0oz - 90ml
