Opium 40th Anniversary Edition

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 Patchouli and Amber. 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.

Given its potent extrait concentration and classic, heavy oriental profile, this Opium is far too bold for the office or casual wear. It shines brightest at formal events or on a sophisticated date night, where its impact can be fully appreciated.

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.
