The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2006, Opium Oriental Limited Edition by Yves Saint Laurent is a fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake — opulent and alluring. This Oriental Floral scent opens with bright citrus and fruity notes, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vitality. As it evolves, soft spicy accords introduce a subtle warmth, complemented by the rich sweetness of vanilla and white florals. The composition is both delicate and profound, reflecting Yves Saint Laurent's commitment to blending elegance with sensuality.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light, even sprays to allow its layers to unfold naturally. The citrus top notes are fleeting, so let them blend into the richer heart and base for a more nuanced experience. It's best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
