YVES SAINT LAURENT
OPIUM PARFUM

Opium Parfum opens with an intriguing mix of ripe plum and zesty bergamot, underscored by a hint of pepper that adds a playful bite. As it evolves, the heart reveals a rich bouquet of peach, rose, and lily-of-the-valley, mingling with the warmth of cinnamon and the earthiness of patchouli, creating an enticing depth. The dry down is where Opium truly shines, enveloping you in a luxurious base of vanilla, amber, and sandalwood, complemented by the resinous warmth of myrrh and opoponax. This fragrance unfolds with a bold presence, making it unmistakably luxurious. Best suited for women who appreciate a strong statement, Opium Parfum shines in the cooler months of fall and winter, making it perfect for evening wear. Its long-lasting performance and impressive projection ensure it leaves a memorable impression. This fragrance stands out in the realm of sensual perfumes, thanks to its complex blend of warm spices and rich woods. If you seek something that embodies confidence and sophistication, think of Opium as a darker, more intense counterpart to classic floral scents.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Opium Parfum opens on cloves and pepper before easing into a carnation and cinnamon heart. Myrrh, incense, and amber carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Performance is the strong suit: it projects boldly and stays put through a long day. Lives in the winter-to-fall window with a nighttime tilt. Community sentiment is consistently positive (4.5/5 across 4,066 votes) — a low-risk pick.
