Buy Yves Saint Laurent Opium Perfume

Is there a single soul out there who hasn’t tried this marmoreal monument of a scent?Opium launched in 1977 and it was an instant hit with women who bought it by the gallon. The Opium fragrance became an identity and rivaled Chanel No. 5 in its elegance and timeless qualities for woman who wore Opium. The Yves Saint Laurent marketing machine was in full force and YSL perfume became a symbol for sophistication with Opium. The Yves Saint Laurent Opium bottle resembles an inro, the Japanese herbs box that samurais carry on their belts. Opium Eau de Toilette opens with an aldehyde-boosted wave of bay leaf and citrus, and the spicy yet somehow “clean” ambience of Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium accounts for its place in the Pantheon of the Great fragrances of all time. Everything about it spells drama, opulence, striking features and indulgence of the senses; more hypnotic and addictive than its namesake narcotic, Yves Saint Laurent’s proudest creation is echoing an era yet remains a resolute classic.

If you want to buy Opium perfume shop at the online Yves Saint Laurent fragrance store for cheap perfume and the best discounts on perfume at America's leading discount fragrance site.

Notes:

Top Note: Cinnamom, Pepper, Orange, Pimento

Middle Note: Carnation, Jasmine, Rose, Ylang-Ylang

Base Note: Vanilla, Benzoin, Patchouli, Opoponax

Only partaking of its peppery plumy cadenza (accented with bergamot and aldehydes) into a heart of carnation, ylang-ylang and jasmine, can reveal some of its alluring potential.

The woody (cedar, patchouli, sandalwood) and balsamic (opoponax, myrrh, labdanum) base with animalistic darkness peeking like a forbidden glance through a curtain hiding an opium den in the Far East is an invitation to languor.

****_   Review of Opium by Pamela Rollings 07 Jan 2013

I have used OPIUM for many years-always the cologne as I was to cheap to try the perfume. Last year I decided to splurge and did not notice any real difference in the strength or lasting power but was most disappointed that the sprayer tube did not go to the bottom of the bottle and I lost about 1/2 an ounce that was in the bottom of the container, Why let us waste the money when we do not have access to the last ounce of product?

*****   Review of Opium by Michelle Larkin 20 Dec 2012

I have been wearing Opium since my early twenties and am now 54 & this was also my signature perfume & both men & women loved the smell on me & it has always made me feel special & confident. Unfortunately since the new bottle came out around 2010 I think, the smell has changed on me and I have been trying to find out why. I have now been told that they have changed from using raw materials to synthetic materials and perhaps this is why, I know the fragence is different & I have proved it with my old bottles still been the same beautiful fragence on me and the new bottle leaving and odd after smell. Has anyone else experienced this? there have been many complaints from long time users here in NZ. Is it possible to still get the fragrence in the old style, if so this would be great as I have been rather despondent about this.

*****   Review of Opium by Catherine 09 Dec 2012

I have worn this perfume since I was 20, I am 53 now and always receive compliments when I am wearing it. I love the intoxicating smell and go back to this perfume time and time again. Classic
