Opium is a women’s fragrance launched by Yves Saint Laurent in 1977. It is an oriental spicy scent that has become a classic and iconic perfume over the years.
The fragrance features top notes of coriander, plum, and pepper, followed by heart notes of jasmine, rose, and carnation. The base notes are a blend of vanilla, amber, and patchouli, creating a warm, rich, and sensual scent.
Opium has gone through several reformulations over the years due to changes in regulations and consumer preferences, but it remains a popular fragrance among women. The perfume has also inspired several flankers, including Opium Pour Homme, Opium Fleur de Shanghai, and Opium Vapeurs de Parfum.
