Opium Poesie de Chine pour Femme by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2008, capturing the essence of an elegant East-West fusion. The fragrance opens with a burst of citrus — tangerine and mandarin orange that brighten the senses, before settling into a heart of magnolia and jasmine. These floral notes are enhanced by the warmth of ginger and myrrh, creating a complex interplay between freshness and spice. The base layers of patchouli, vanilla, and musk add depth and an opulent finish.
