Yves Saint Laurent Opium Fleur Imperiale is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006. Opium Fleur Imperiale opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Apricot Blossom, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, Patchouli, and Osmanthus. Yves Saint Laurent's Opium Fleur Imperiale carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A creamy, buttery, and notably softer take on the iconic Opium, this discontinued gem offers the original's warmth without the overwhelming punch. It's a loved-by-many, signature-scent-worthy fragrance, though some find it a touch too strong or too diluted depending on their Opium expectations.

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.

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it versatile for most settings, though its rich oriental character leans more towards evening and special occasions. While softer than the original Opium, it still commands presence, making it a good choice for dates and formal events, and just about wearable in an office setting if applied sparingly.

About

Opium Fleur Imperiale opens with a bright burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly softening into a velvety heart where the heady jasmine and sweet apricot blossom mingle with the subtle spiciness of carnation. The true magic unfolds in the base, as rich amber and patchouli weave through the smoky depth of myrrh, softened by creamy vanilla and a hint of exotic osmanthus. This is a smoother, more approachable Opium, maintaining its oriental allure with a refined floral touch.
