Opium Orchidée de Chine

Yves Saint Laurent Opium Orchidée de Chine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. Opium Orchidée de Chine opens with Mandarin, Neroli, and Spicy, settles into a heart of Carnation, Jasmine, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Iris, Amber, Patchouli, 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.
