138 Opiem For Her EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an overlooked masterpiece, a warm and inviting embrace, but others recoil from a cloying, synthetic mess. It's a proper grown-up fragrance, undeniably sophisticated and for those who know their mind.
No. 138 follows the same spicy-oriental path as YSL's original Opium - carnation and myrrh over patchouli-amber-vanilla - but the resinous depth and animalic warmth of the icon are dialled back, leaving a lighter, sweeter impression.
