About the Product

Created by the design house of Yves Saint Laurent in 1977, Opium is classified as a refined, oriental, soft fragrance. This feminine scent begins with notes of mandarin and bergamot, then myrrh, jasmine and carnation. It is completed with a final note of Amber.

Opium opens with the tangy scent of mandarin orange blended with lilly. Heart notes deepen into the exotic notes of Myhhr and Jasmine. This classic fragrance is most noted for its long-lasting and intense base notes that include patchouli, opoponax, vanilla and amber.

Fragrance Family:

Amber

Scent Type:

Spicy, warm, balsamic, sweet, floral, citrus, aromatic

Notes:

Opium opens with citrus and floral top notes which quickly fade into heart notes of myrrh and jasmine before blending into the intense woody amber base notes of patchouli, amber, vanilla and opoponax.

Suggested Use

For a long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.

New Opium Bottle design

Opium is one of those rare signature fragrances that draws pleasant comments. I rarely wear it without receiving at least one positive reaction from someone who knows and loves it or is intrigued by the rich amber-like aroma. I wear Opium on an almost daily basis. It not only stimulates my senses
... Read Complete Review
but contibutes to a personal sense of well-being. Our sense of smell is tied to the long-term memory area of the brain in ways that process emotions, cognition and memory-storage and retrival. Using Opium is part of my personal identity and reinforces positive feelings of self-esteem. At least twice a year, I try to purchase the large container (3.3 oz) spray, and look for combination values, such as adding the smaller size of parfum to use for special occasions. I find the high quality and enduring scent of Opium some of the reasons I continue to be drawn to this parfum. I am 60 yrs old, and though not blessed with striking beauty, I find joy and pleasure in using this exotic perfume. I would recommend its rich qaulity and character to any woman seeking a signature sensual aroma. Opium has a new distinctive and exquisitely designed shape for its bottle in the 3.3 oz size. It is an attractive addition to my dresser accroutrements.

Will buy elsewhere!!

Seemed too good to be true - and was. Normally use opium for special occasions so know how it should smell. Tried the topped up tester offer and wish I hadn't. Weaker than toilet water with hardly any lasting fragrance. First time customer with FragranceX. Will shop elsewhere in future.

I would buy this product for a friend

I cannot really comment on this perfume, because I bought it as a gift for a friend, whose signature fragrance it is. I ordered it specially for her since it is no longer available in our country. I do know the perfume, but it is certainly not my kind of fragrance, it is too heavy for me.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Happy to find it

I used to wear this all of the time. Would always get compliments. Hadn't seen an acquaintance for years, but when we eventually ran into each other she told me she remembered how good I smelled. Hadn't expected that to be how I was remembered! I stopped wearing this when it became difficult to find the original scent & too costly when I could. I was thrilled to see the availability, size, & authenticity of this item in an online ad. I'm so glad it was real. Thank you for reuniting me with the fragrance that identifies me!

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
