Yves Saint Laurent's Opium Collector Edition 2008, a distinguished women's fragrance launched in 2008, offers an opulent, intricate olfactory journey. This edition deepens the legendary oriental profile with a rich tapestry of notes. Opening with vibrant bergamot, mandarin, and citruses, it is spiced by coriander, pepper, and West Indian bay, accented by plum, peach, and coconut. The heart blossoms with an exquisite bouquet of jasmine, rose, lily-of-the-valley, and carnation, infused with cinnamon, cloves, myrrh, opoponax, incense, cedar, and orris root. The lasting impression is an embrace of warm amber, benzoin, vanilla, and tolu balsam, expertly blended with patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, and musk. A truly compelling composition, commanding presence. Irresistibly so.
