The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 as part of Yves Saint Laurent’s rich heritage, Opium Légendes de Chine eau de Parfum embodies the brand's signature oriental charm. The fragrance is captured in a bottle adorned with a golden dragoon, a symbol deeply rooted in Chinese culture. This limited-edition scent fuses mandarin and jasmine absolute with red myrrh and powdery vanilla to evoke an enchanting Oriental atmosphere. The warm spicy and balsamic notes intertwine seamlessly with the sweet amber and white floral accords, creating a harmonious blend that is both luxurious and captivating.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points. The top notes of citrus fade quickly, so allow it a few minutes for the warm amber and balsamic base to fully emerge. Perfect for evening wear, where its rich warmth can truly shine.
