Yves Saint Laurent Opium 40th Anniversary Edition is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Opium 40th Anniversary Edition opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Amber and Patchouli. Yves Saint Laurent's Opium 40th Anniversary Edition carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This 40th anniversary Opium is pure drama in a bottle. If you want a bold, unapologetic statement, this is it. It's a throwback to proper perfumery, for better or worse depending on your taste, and it takes no prisoners.

About

A potent blast of mandarin cuts through the air, quickly giving way to an intoxicating heart of jasmine and spicy carnation. This opulent floral heart settles into a lavish, resinous amber that's grounded by an earthy, slightly camphorous patchouli. It's a rich, warm, and deeply complex oriental that commands attention.
