Launched in 2005 and crafted by Daniela Andrier, Opium Fleur de Shanghai by Yves Saint Laurent is a delicate balance of citrus freshness and warm spices. The fragrance opens with the zesty brightness of mandarin orange and bergamot, which contrast beautifully against the rich depth of myrrh and carnation in the heart. As it settles into a base of amber, vanilla, and patchouli, Opium Fleur de Shanghai transforms from an invigorating morning to a warm, embracing evening.

Application Tips
Apply a light spritz to pulse points; the bright citrus notes fade within an hour, but the rich base notes linger for hours. This fragrance reads best when worn close to skin rather than projected across a room.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives — where zesty citrus meets the warmth of carnation and amber.
