Yves Saint Laurent Belle d'Opium is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Alberto Morillas and Honorine Blanc. Belle d'Opium opens with Mandarin, Jasmine, Lily, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Fruity Notes, Rose, Pepper, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Belle d'Opium carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A tragically discontinued masterpiece, Belle d'Opium is a uniquely seductive, smoky white floral that consistently garners compliments. It stands miles apart from its 'Opium' family, a true shame it was ever pulled from shelves.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Belle d'Opium opens with a mysterious blend of vibrant jasmine, lily, and gardenia, softened by a hint of juicy mandarin. The heart introduces a seductive smokiness from incense and tobacco, spiced with pepper and a touch of ripe peach. It settles into a warm, sensual base of creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and sweet vanilla, leaving an intoxicating, long-lasting trail.
