The Story

Launched in 2017, Opium Extrait de Parfum 40th Anniversary Edition by Yves Saint Laurent is a warm and spicy ode to the brand's heritage. The composition opens with the bright zest of mandarin orange, which gives way to carnation and jasmine, creating a floral heart that is both delicate and captivating. In the base notes, amber and patchouli blend seamlessly to create an earthy warmth that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact. The mandarin orange top note is vibrant but fleeting, so let it settle before heading out — the heart and base notes will carry you through the evening.
