Yves Saint Laurent Opium Oriental Limited Edition is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006. Yves Saint Laurent's Opium Oriental Limited Edition carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

If you love vintage Opium, this limited edition bottle from 2006 is the real deal. Expect the classic potent oriental embrace, though some might find it less sweet and more dry than expected. It's a proper statement, divisive for modern palates, but a treasure for fans of bold, retro glamour.

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting and strong sillage, combined with a rich, intense oriental profile, makes it less suitable for office or casual wear. It shines in evening settings, perfect for a sophisticated date or a formal event where its presence can be fully appreciated.

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

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

Opens with a rich, almost bitter hint of mandarin and apricot blossom, quickly melting into a creamy, musky floral heart of jasmine and osmanthus. This isn't a bright floral; it's a dense, almost retro beauty product vibe, with a strong undercurrent of what feels like spices and woods, drying down to a long-lasting, balsamic vanilla base. Think opulent and smoky rather than overtly sweet.
