Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau D'ete Summer Fragrance 2004 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004. Opium Eau D'ete Summer Fragrance 2004 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Myrrh. Yves Saint Laurent's Opium Eau D'ete Summer Fragrance 2004 carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this 'summer' flanker is still Opium-strong. It keeps the original's core but dials up the citrus and incense for a year-round, warm-spicy experience that some adore and others find overwhelmingly potent.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - summer and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This scent is too potent and long-lasting for an office setting, prone to offending sensitive noses. Its warm, sensual and somewhat smoky character makes it much better suited for evening wear, whether romantic dates or formal events, though some enjoy it for casual wear too.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • 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 vibrant burst of orange, bergamot, and lemon kicks things off, quickly giving way to the exotic heart of jasmine, spicy carnation, and earthy patchouli. The dry down is a warm, resinous embrace of vanilla, amber, and myrrh, creating an incense-like depth that lingers beautifully with a hint of smoky sweetness.
