Yves Saint Laurent Opium Collector's Edition 2014 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Opium Collector's Edition 2014 opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Opium Collector's Edition 2014 carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This Collector's Edition of Opium is an acceptable, yet uninspired, modern take on a classic. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who find the original too intense, but it's not going to win over vintage purists.

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.

Office Casual

With a more moderate projection than a full-on '80s powerhouse, this Opium flanker is versatile enough for an evening out or a smart casual event. It's less office-friendly due to its warmth and a touch too much presence for a professional setting, but it's certainly not a beast mode scent.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A citrusy opening of bergamot and mandarin quickly mellows into a floral heart of carnation and jasmine. The real star here is the warm, comforting base, where creamy vanilla and rich amber mingle with a hint of earthy vetiver, creating a smooth and slightly spicy trail.
