The Story

Launched in 2002 by Yves Saint Laurent, Opium Eau D'ete Summer Fragrance is a vibrant Oriental fragrance for women that captures the essence of summer. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from mandarin orange and bergamot, creating an invigorating freshness. As it develops, warm spicy and floral accords like carnation and jasmine emerge, adding depth and sensuality to the scent. The base notes of patchouli, myrrh, vanilla, and balsamic elements bring a rich, comforting warmth that lingers throughout the day.

Application Tips

This fragrance has a strong opening that fades within an hour, so apply it generously to ensure the full transition from fresh citrus to rich amber is experienced. Best suited for daytime wear when its warmth complements the sun's glow.
