Yves Saint Laurent 2012 Parfum
Opium Vapeurs de
by Jean-Christophe Hérault , Dominique Ropion
Yves Saint Laurent Opium Vapeurs de is a Parfum launched in 2012, created by Jean-Christophe Hérault and Dominique Ropion. Opium Vapeurs de opens with Mandarin and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, Patchouli, and Nutmeg. Yves Saint Laurent's Opium Vapeurs de carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.
This flanker to the legendary Opium is a divisive one. Fans adore its fresh, elegant twist on the original's heavy oriental, praising its summer suitability. Detractors, however, find it lacks the original's punch, calling it forgettable or even unpleasant. You'll either love how it defies its name, or hate it for precisely that reason.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its lighter, often described as 'fresh' character makes it suitable for office wear, although the subtle spice and amber might lean it more towards a professional or evening setting. The sensual white florals and warm drydown make it an excellent choice for dates, while its versatility allows it for casual wear. It's too refined for sport.
