YVES SAINT LAURENT
OPIUM EAU DE TOILETTE 2009

Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium Eau de Toilette 2009 opens with a lively burst of bergamot and tangerine, infused with the delicate freshness of lily-of-the-valley. This citrus introduction leads seamlessly into a heart that reveals a rich floral character, where jasmine and carnation intertwine with the resinous depth of myrrh. As it settles, the fragrance transforms into a warm and inviting base dominated by sweet vanilla, earthy patchouli, and a comforting amber warmth that lingers on the skin. This fragrance is ideally suited for women who appreciate a bold yet versatile scent that can transition effortlessly from day to night. Best worn in the cooler months of fall and winter, Opium boasts impressive longevity and moderate sillage, ensuring it leaves a memorable impression without overwhelming. With a community rating of 4.1/5, it stands out in the floral-spicy category, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a sophisticated twist on classic femininity. If you seek a fragrance that embodies warmth and complexity, Opium is worth exploring.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

The opening leans on tangerine and bergamot, then a myrrh and carnation accord takes over within the first hour. Amber, patchouli, and vanilla carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Performance lands in the middle: dependable longevity with measured projection. Lives in the fall-to-winter window at any hour. Verdict: a solid mid-tier pick with broad appeal at 4.1/5.
