Trailing from a place of warm and exotic mystery, Yves Saint Laurent Opium is a spicy oriental fragrance melding a wild flurry of ingredients into an enticing and sumptuous blend.Opening in a kick of cloves, coriander and pepper it starts warm and spicy, offset delicately by rivulets of sweet plum and mandarin orange.Melting back the fragrance presents a core of aromatic carnation and rose backed with poignant cinnamon and a mingling of sandalwood.Ultimately the fragrance mellows into a sensual and spiritual myriad combining incense, myrrh, opoponax and rich amber amongst a forest of flavours that provide a truly unique and luxurious treat.
