Yves Saint Laurent Belle d'Opium Éclat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Belle d'Opium Éclat opens with Mandarin, Jasmine, Lily, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Fruity, Orange Blossom, Pepper, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Licorice. Yves Saint Laurent's Belle d'Opium Éclat carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A luminous, less intense take on Opium, this version still packs a punch with its alluring blend of florals, fruits, and a smoky depth. However, it's not for everyone - some find its heavier notes challenging, while others adore its sophisticated, confident character.

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly aniseed-tinged white floral bouquet of jasmine, lily, and gardenia, brightened by mandarin. The heart introduces a surprising fruity sweetness from peach, layered with a spicy tobacco and incense smokiness and a hint of pepper. It settles into a warm, sensual amber and sandalwood base, with earthy patchouli and a dark, sweet whisper of licorice providing a lingering, mysterious finish.
