Launched in 1977 by Yves Saint Laurent, Opium is an iconic women's fragrance celebrated for its opulent and intense oriental spicy profile. It opens with a vibrant blend of mandarin orange and bergamot, which gives way to a complex heart featuring carnation, jasmine, cinnamon, and cloves. The deep, lasting base is a rich tapestry of myrrh, opoponax, sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla, enhanced by warm amber, benzoin, and musk. This bold and exotic composition, also containing nuances of plum, peach, and incense, evokes a sense of luxurious allure and sophisticated mystery, marking its legendary status in perfumery.
