Opium 2009

Name: Opium 2009 Eau de Toilette
Brand: Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent Opium 2009 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. Opium 2009 opens with Lily Of The Valley, Bergamot, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Carnation, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Amber, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Opium 2009 carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This isn't your Nanna's Opium, but it still packs a punch for those who love a full-bodied oriental. Expect diviseness; some find it a gorgeous, nuanced beast, while others smell bug spray and regret. Not for sugar-sweet scent lovers.

Its strong sillage and longevity, even for an EDT, make it less suitable for the office unless managed carefully. However, its sensual and sophisticated amber-oriental character is perfect for dates and evening events, embodying confidence without being overly casual.

About

Opens with an effervescent burst of tangerine and bergamot, brightened by lily of the valley. This citrus zing quickly gives way to a spiced floral heart, where carnation and jasmine entwine with the mystical, balsamic depth of myrrh. The drydown is a warm, resinous embrace of amber and vanilla, grounded by an earthy, slightly medicinal patchouli that lingers, comforting and complex.
