Yves Saint Laurent Opium Orchidée de Chine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. Opium Orchidée de Chine opens with Spicy, Mandarin, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orchid, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Iris, and Nutmeg. Yves Saint Laurent's Opium Orchidée de Chine carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This flanker to the legendary Opium is a divisive one. Fans call it a softer, more modern take, but traditionalists find it lacks the original's punch. If you're after a less 'in your face' oriental, it's worth a sniff.

About

Opium Orchidée de Chine opens with a vibrant splash of mandarin and neroli, quickly spiced up with a hint of something peppery. The heart blossoms with a rich orchid, carnation, and jasmine bouquet - a nod to classic florals with a fresh twist. It settles into a warm, powdery embrace of vanilla, amber, iris, and a grounding touch of patchouli and nutmeg, leaving a trail that's both exotic and comforting.
