Launched in 2008, Opium Elixir Voluptueux by Yves Saint Laurent is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of indulgence and warmth. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from mandarin orange and bergamot, which quickly give way to a rich blend of floral essences like lily-of-the-valley and jasmine. At its heart, the fragrance blends warm spices such as myrrh and opoponax with balsamic accords and vanilla, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both luxurious and intimate.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow the subtle shifts between its citrus top notes and rich base accords to unfold gradually. The warmth of the vanilla and amber bases means it reads best close to skin rather than filling a room, so aim for pulse points for an intimate experience.
