Launched in 2008, Opium Collector Edition by Yves Saint Laurent is an Oriental Spicy fragrance crafted by Jean Amic and Jean-Louis Sieuzac. The composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord of mandarin orange and bergamot before diving into the heart of spicy carnation, jasmine, and pepper. The base notes of amber, incense, sandalwood, and musk create a warm, enveloping embrace that is both opulent and sophisticated. This fragrance captures the essence of YSL’s enduring legacy, blending classic elegance with contemporary sophistication.
