The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2004, Opium Eau D'ete Summer Fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent is a radiant Oriental scent for women. It opens with bright citrus notes of bergamot, orange, mandarin, and Amalfi lemon, creating an invigorating freshness that feels like the first rays of sunlight on a summer day. The heart of carnation, jasmine, and myrrh adds depth and warmth before settling into a base of patchouli, amber, balsamic accords, and vanilla. This composition captures the essence of a sun-soaked season with its vibrant top notes and enveloping warm spices.
Apply two sprays for a balanced experience — the citrus top notes are bright but dissipate quickly. The warm spicy base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to settle on your skin before heading out.
