Description
YSL Opium stands as one of perfumery's most audacious oriental creations, formulated by Jean Amic and Raymond Chaillan. Since its 1977 launch it has defined a certain archetype of powerful femininity — unapologetic, opulent, and impossible to ignore.
The opening burst of bergamot and mandarin brings bright Mediterranean warmth, softened by a whisper of lily of the valley. The transition into the heart reveals clove's aromatic spice alongside myrrh's smoky resin, with jasmine threading a floral note through the intensity.
The base is where Opium truly earns its legendary status. Opoponax — a sweet balsamic resin — blends with amber, patchouli, and vanilla to create a warm, incense-like drydown that clings to skin for hours with remarkable persistence.
Recommended for autumn and winter wear, Opium EDP is a statement fragrance ideal for wholesale buyers seeking a proven bestseller with decades of loyal clientele and strong brand recognition.
