Opium pour Homme Eau d'Orient by Yves Saint Laurent

Created: 2006
For: Men
type: Oriental - Spicy

The vibrant freshness of the Orient and its infinitely fascinating spells...

Story

The Opium man, taken with the mystery and absolute freedom of the Orient, ‘joins his feminine alter ego in 2006’. For Yves Saint Laurent is offering a fresh and seductive limited edition of his classically Oriental men’s fragrance, Opium pour Homme. Moving to the rhythm of waves of grapefruit, fresh-cut ginger, star anise and Moroccan amber, it shines with a new light. A limited, collector’s edition in which the box and bottle have plant motifs evoking travel.

Description

A sparkling opening of citrus uniting with star anise, ‘like a summer shiver’. The heart reveals the scent’s spicy character with a vibrantly exotic burst of pepper, nutmeg and ginger. Then the fragrance evolves towards a ‘brilliant and almost casual’ dry-down composed of wood and Moroccan amber essences.
